Transgender

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/15724322

So because getting to see the GIC is seemingly impossible, we are currently being prescribed three things by gender G.P (who have become decreasingly helpful over time):

• Finasteride (started 2-ish years ago)
• Estrogen patches (started 2-ish years ago)
• Progesterone (started a year in)

Current prescription states:

• Finasteride - 5mg taken in the morning, once daily
• Estrogen patches - 150mcg released over 24 hours, changed twice weekly.
• Progesterone suppository - 200mg taken once daily in the evening

We were watching a video debunking sci-show's video about HRT and it said that finasteride is a not an AA and effectively only stops hair loss (which we don't think we had before starting).

We have some problems as our chest seems to have either stopped developing or ran into problems and seems to have developed tubular breasts syndrome (they're an okay size but a bit triangular and don't look quite 'right' to us) but we aren't sure if this is because we did something wrong or not?

So our questions are:

• Should we stop our current regimen of finasteride?
• Did we start taking progesterone too early?
• Will our chest continue to grow and work its way out of this shape/problem?

I've been starting to notice recently that I've most likely had gender envy at some point(s) in my past.

I guess the big question is, have you had any particularly notable instances of gender envy, or your first noticeable insurance of gender envy?

LFG!
