update: boobs
Remember fifteen months ago when I started progesterone? Well, I have three weeks' supply left, and I'm thinking I won't trouble Dr. Funnyname for a new prescription. Why not?
- It's pretty much done what I wanted it to do. I haven't had to go bra shopping yet, but my breasts are a much nicer shape now: rounder, less pointy and flappy.
- Waking up in the wee hours to pee like a horse is a drag. Progesterone makes you excrete salt.
- Progesterone isn't without its risks, namely clotting and blood pressure. The sooner I'm off of it, the safer I'll probably be. It isn't meant to be a maintenance medication for anyone.
- I don't know for sure if Dr. Funnyname would sign off on a new prescription, and he readily admits that he hasn't had experience managing trans women's hormone regimens.
- One of the nice things about being a lesbian is that my sexual partners have realistic expectations about breasts. I'm just not a curvy gal, so I fit those expectations these days. Barely.
- I have no ambitions in the adult entertainment industry.
