Hey girls, let me give you a quick backstory.

Forty days ago I started hrt on my own. So far my changes have been occurring awesomely.
>Already have small boobs, my man belly has moved into my butt and thighs, skin is clearer, balding has stopped, penis is working less, crying.

However my friends are very concerned that I should have gone through the normal process of seeing a therapist and living as a woman publicly for a year. And I definitely agree with them since I am not 100% sure about transition.

Today I am bringing my doctor into the loop, and stopping hrt until I figure things out. My #1 main concern is how bad can my body get messed up by waiting to restart for like half a year?
Especially the balding. My hair started receeding at about 18 and now is decently far back on the temples. Maybe I can get on Rogaine/finesteride during the break?
Also, my boobs have come in super rounded out (I'm very lucky ik), but off of hrt will they deflate to cone tits?

I really don't want to lose progress but I certainly rushed hrt and need to stop for a bit.

I'm 22 btw, twinkish bod, man face and hair. Thanks in advance ladies!
>>
im 12 btw haHaa
>>
>>8214276
>12

No, I said 22. Hence the receeding hair line pal.
>>
lol everyone who can selfmeds before and during the process
if you're not sure yet maybe take them for another month and reconsider the whole thing
why did you start hrt in the first place?
>>
>>8214301
Well if I'm going to stop shouldn't I stop before I have irreversible changes? The boobs are small enough now that I think they would go away.

Well I'm what a lot of you would call AGP (although I do also have some dysphoria), and I ordered the meds while horny. Once they came in I waited like a week or so really thinking about it. I decided I would like to be a girl and started up. But my friends made a great point that I,never really dress in public and always present as a man. I can end up getting far down the road and deciding I want to turn back when it's too late.

Your belly fat doesn't move that quickly and other changes seem suspect to overcompensating delusion. You should seek a therapist and a doctor so they can ground you in reality. Less than a year wait wont change much unless other factors cause those changes such as an accident or frequent sun burns and excessive weight gain.
>>
>>8214330
I'm sure a lot of it is a placebo effect, but I have dropped 5-7lbs but my butt has slight stretch marks now.

So you're saying I shouldn't be too paranoid about waiting a little before restarting? That's good cuz I've been over thinking and freaking out about this.

I do plan on seeing a specialist and a psychiatrist for sure.

wuts ur name sweatty mine is alice desu :33333
>>
>>8214377
I'm not sweaty. I still don't get your "jokes." But hey man whatever floats your goat.
>>
>>8214401
thats because your lens of perception is incredibly cloudy
>>
>>8214413
Well clear it up for me. Do you have any actual advice to give pertaining to my situation?
>>
>>8214370
You can get stretch marks without getting those kind of changes or get increased volume without stretch marks. It has more to do with elastin and cortisol than anything else, even losing weight contributes to stretch marks due to changes.

Six months wont make much difference, it's when six months adds up to three years that it will matter.
>>
>>8214438
Ah didn't know that. As much as I need to stop the meds I really don't want to. I guess 6 months off won't be so bad
>>
>>8214423
read engels. read lacan. once you're a big girl start reading zizek
>>
>>8214468
Thanks man that fixed all my problems!
>>
>>8214488
it wont but it will help you understand how reality is structured. and once you know the structure it becomes much easier to exert influence on said structure
>>
>>8214493
Will it tell me if my boobs will turn to cones and if my hair will fall out once I stop hrt?
>>
>>8214553
read it or don't i couldn't care less. i've offered the pill, my job is done
>>
>>8214561
Idk pills are what got me into this mess.

You don't really have to worry about breast development going away. You do have to worry about your hairline.

Why stop at all?
>>
I'm no expert at all, have no experience with this, but if you keep going, if you aren't already, probably depends on your AAs and luck, you will probably get sterile, and you may need a breast reduction surgery. Everything else will go back by itself if you stop later.

I want to tell you to keep going, save your hair, but I'm just memeing, and to afraid to even start on my own, so I shouldn't talk.
Also, know nothing about this.
>>
I wouldn't recommend stopping. You'll just set yourself back a year. Keep going if you like it, stop if you don't. Of course your friends will be concerned about you self-medicating with hormones, especially if they don't know about the issues with gatekeeping.
>>
>>8214274
Yeah fuck that you can do the process and just self med while doing it, and shit like RLE without hormones is like tranny hazing it's unnecessary bullshit that you shouldn't have to put up with, I was 6months on hrt before leaving the house in girlmode and with good reason
>>
>>8214274
>However my friends are very concerned that I should have gone through the normal process of seeing a therapist and living as a woman publicly for a year. And I definitely agree with them since I am not 100% sure about transition.
They aren't your friends, just malicious gatekeeping hons.
>>
>>8214274
Oh you're guaranteed to become a hon if you aren't already one. Your body will rebound and fuck you in that year. You'll probably also frighten people during your RLE.

>>8215630
This desu, only Susan's tells you to wait through rle and get even manlier. The average age of people who go through SOC and RLE is over 35 for and by hons who have already lost everything and never will pass.

If you want to become an even bigger hon, then by all means join them.
