5 Things people wonât tell you about transitioning (MTF)
1. The migraines will stop!!
My doctor didnât tell me that Iâd have migrainesâthat they were related to electrolytes and that I should increase them, specifically salt, and stay super hydratedâso she obviously didnât tell me these burning, hot headaches would go away after a month (ice packs on your head help along with wearing sunglasses). Iâm pretty sure my body was rewiring itself to use estrogen instead of testosterone ?? ⊠or to operate with less liquid since the Spiro/T blocker is a diuretic
2. You will have a monthly cycle âŠ
My doctor told me that, as much as dudes like to complain about how chicks have their period, everyone has a cycle. As a girl though, it has all felt stronger. While itâs mostly nice, since I feel a lot more in tune with my body, some days I realize that, for no particular reason, I just am pissed and everything and everyone lol
3. You will forget what you look likeÂ
I often do double takes when I see my reflection in a mirror, since my body and my face is changing so fast. Some days Iâm pleasantly surprised by how feminine my face is; other times Iâm just frustrated by how far I am from what I want to be ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
4. Electrolysis is better than laser, but it takes forever!!!
Apparently laser is just hair reduction/not permanent. Electrolysis is permanent, but, each time they zap your hairs, only a very small portion of them are super vulnerable/in the growth phase/wonât grow back. So you are basically playing roulette until they are all deads (âââźâ)
I donât know whether itâs the drugs or if itâs just the fact that Iâm FINALLY allowing my body to be the right way, but most of the time I will jump around the house and say silly nonsensical things to my girlfriend. I donât remember feeling this happy before transitioning.
