guys i FINALLY GOT MY PERIOD AFTER IT WAS GONE FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH STRAIGHT

[ivegotissuesman]

I say "Yeah I don't really want to go on birth control or hormone fixers at the moment because all they really do are make me have a normal period and make it so I can get pregnant, and I have no wants or intentions of having either of those so theirs not much of a reason to do that at the moment other than maybe weight loss, and theirs not even the full guarantee thatll happen, and could backfire and make it worse, or even completely change my personality if we get really unlucky"

And she hears " Oh I dOnT wAnNa TaKe HoRmOnE mEdS bEcAuSe I aM a FiLtHy Tr*nNy AnD i DoNt WaNnA lOsE mY tEsToStErOnE "

Ugh

Can someone just kill one of us already so I don't have to deal with her

I had my periods last week and, guess what, guys? I felt SO ALIVE! I wasn’t tired despite the pain, I felt very energetic, wanting to clean, do dishes etc.! Life was smiling!

But instantly, after my periods ended, I lost all that energy and mood. I returned back on being tired 24/7, nothing inspires etc. I checked symptoms for the lack of hormones and - SURPRISE - 6 out of 10 of those symptoms matches me!

1. I’m constantly tired. 2. I want to eat all the time. 3. I have digestive problems. 4. I have mood swings. 5. I sweat too much. 6. I have sleep issues.

I honestly have been thinking all those symptoms are because I eat badly more orless, that I’m bored, my days are all the same, I live in small area what has nothing to offer, I have no friends here (all my friends live in other countries) etc. It never crossed my mind it could be because of hormones! My sis pointed that option out.

Next, I checked what I could do to improve my hormone levels without instantly going for medication. Healthy eating - something what cards have been telling me constantly this year. Foods like fruits, vegetables, berries, fish, nuts etc. will improve hormone levels.

So I simply NEED to start to cook for myself - something which I don’t do simply because I would love to share that food with someone. I feel it’s pointless to cook for myself but I need to change that. I also need to search more recipes, mostly vegetable based. I can add some chicken to it during cooking (because fish is expensive here - like any other food, actually. That’s why eating is so hard too).

I have high androgens naturally, and I’d been taking bc for literally 2 reasons: to control periods and acne.

Now I’m nearly 2 months off, and still no period (yes!)  I’ve had a couple breakouts, but nothing huge like I thought I would.

My hair is falling out less than it was during month 1.  But I’ve got the oily skin and the dry skin and the increased sweat and weird food cravings and my shoulders feel broader...

But things are going pretty well.  Six months to go till T.  I’m psyched.

Food for thought

This happened last time I got off E, so I don’t know why I expect any different... I hate food. So much. I usually eat a very low carb and plant-centric diet to facilitate my athletic activities, but right now I hate everything. Almond milk, one particular brand of granola bar, tater tots, and red meat are about all I can fathom putting in my mouth. I’m all for giving the body what it asks for, but really?? Now I have (unfounded) fears that I’ll lose all my muscle mass overnight. And I have 9 Nutcrackers to dance in before the month is up.
