Facial and Body Hair!

[JDeere]

My legs look like a huge brown tree forest LOL but its patchy in places due to thyroid problems.

Same goes with underarm hair and pubic area. I know TMI but we ARE talking about hair aren't we? LOL

I have peach fuzz, as my ex calls it, on my upper lip and chin. I plan on keeping it for awhile!

I'm sorry to hear that
I have a friend with graves disease,I dont know if thats thyroid,I think it is.

I'm lucky in that getting T was easy and transition has been the best thing to happen to me.

And I'm on a Tetosterone Reandron,which is slow release and only 3 monthly shots,and no troughs,or high and lows.Plus its subsidised by the govt over here,but sadly only if you have changed you documents.

Im sorry I didnt respong earlier,I didnt know you responded

Yes Grave is a thyroid disease, I am either hypo or hyper thryoidism, I can't remember but am on meds for it. I am hoping my transition will go smoothly since I'm finding out that Planned Parenthood has services as well as the gltb centers here. My first step is seeing if I can get weight loss surgery, since my last health scare my weight has gone up and down, a lot.

Then hoping my doc will do what needs to be done so I can do what I need to do, to be who I really am.


No worries take time in responding, all conversation will eventually end up being posted on!

weight loss is a good idea,people think T is a weight loss solution,absolutly not true,and one thing,Tetosterone loves lean,the leaner you are,the more muscle you get and hair,well whats happened to me.
Eastrogen loves fat,I have noticed bigger transwoman,are really hard to pick as is leaner transwoman,but same as larger men,their skin is softer and their body shape takes on a more female look.

My advice is try starting a new lifestyle,I had weight issues,yo yo dieting,what worked was a change in lifestyle,now I tell myself,eating junk food or binging is not self love,food is sistenance to feed my body,nothing else.

But I also,just start again if I fuck up,and start slow.

I have seen an enormous amount of very overweight transmen and women, who thought that going on hormones was a weight loss solution, when I knew it wasn't. My mom, well my adopted mom, is an RN so she pretty much let me have free reign of her medical books and I did my own research on it. The skinny transguys are getting muscled up cuz they are leaner, which I get as well. I pretty much know I need to lose weight not only to have a better chance on T but to not die again like I did before.
