Middle-aged women often struggle with #anxiety, lack of energy, brain fog and other symptoms that can be indicators of #depression. Or these could just be signs of low #estrogen levels. Yet many doctors prescribe #antidepressants for women who are not actually depressed and who may benefit from other treatments. Says one:

"We, as doctors, have been understating the powerful effects of hormones on mental health and have been reaching too readily for antidepressants."

It's dizziness, fatigue and getting red in the face. Yeah, typical #menopause stuff that therefore no-one knows why exactly it happens because it's inherently unimportant and of no interest.

But for me it's recognisable #thyroid stuff.

I have tried to duckduck if lower natural #estrogen levels change the absorbtion of thyroid hormones and hence would make my normal dosage too much - taking estrogen as a contraceptive definitely fucked with my thyroid hormone dosage, so...: ?

Looks like I will be going without estradiol for a few days. Delayed due to the process of getting changed over to the home delivery pharmacy covered under my Medicare Advantage plan. It's been a long time since I've had a gap. Should be fun, for certain values of fun. 🤷‍♀️

Hey, the good news is it's zero copay and zero shipping. And because of the overlap, I'll actually be about 60 days ahead on spiro. And I'll slowly build back a cushion on E too.

I have a lot of questions. anybody out there with insights on transitioning with #testo and #menopause and #hrt related topics (both hrt for transitioning and evtl for mitigating #estrogen depletion symptoms). #queer #enby #nonbinary there seems to be very little literature in this. bomb me with your sources, groups, accounts, etc.

Hey, are you #trans and maybe just starting your #HRT journey with #estrogen? It might be worth keeping track of bodily state things like emotion or mood swings, gastrointestinal hijinks, cramping, and the like. Just note them down on a calendar or (if you like Big Tampon watching over your shoulder) in a period-tracker app.

Anecdotally, there's about a 50% chance you're going to start having a period. Understanding what's going on can be comforting/affirming. 1/

Every day I get cuter :nkoWhoaa:

does anyone know if transfem HRT (estradiol + spiro) could potentially cause your voice to crack more? mine's been cracking a lot lately and it's the best guess i have as to why

Did estrogen injection for the first period on the vessel by myself but missed a step which was cleaning the leg itself

I am on #estrogen for nearly 2 month now. I forgot going to the gym for 2-3 weeks. In that time I lost 1.5kg (3.3lbs). By the way I ate I can tell: it wasn't food related weight lost. Is it possible to loose that much muscles because of estrogen in this short period of time?

I asked for a pint of estrogen at the pharmacy, but this is all they gave me.

Is this a sign of a looming recession?

I normally try to refrain from sharing Birdapp stuff, but this is important. By Galaxmousey on Twitter:

"🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨
I don't usually do this but this is extremely vitally important.

On Tumblr I came across some people talking about a company called #QueerQuirk . They're currently marketing OTC #estrogen pills THAT WILL FUCKING KILL YOU, and that's the least of it"

I unrolled their thread, there is much more information in there.

#LGBTQ #Trans

Fascinated by the recent discussion that #PCOS could be considered under the umbrella of #intersex.

PCOS has caused my most consistent issues with health and self-image (most hospitalisations and surgeries I've had relate to its complications). Taking #estrogen and androgen blockers throughout my life has usually kept me in better, happier form. Some of my PCOS-cuzzies are transmasc, and take T instead.

Humanity is truly a wondrous tapestry. https://prismreports.org/2022/10/26/pcos-gender-euphoria-trans-people/

Anyone on #estrogen finding that you sunburn more easily that you used to?

Turns out I can think with my mouth open. All these years I'd just had a hormone deficiency

Now I can think through constant conversation, I don't have to listen think and write

I’m super keen for information on microdosing #estrogen for a more non-binary presentation. I really want less facial / body hair and a higher voice, but I definitely don’t want boobs or a more feminine body. I realise you can’t really pick and choose with #hrt but I wonder if microdosing could help a bit? #trans #nonbinary
