Well...I think?
I woke up absolutely sure I was gonna just cancel the endo's appointment, pretend to be sick and stay at home. Buuuuut, I'm so glad I didn't!

He addressed my lactation concerns, confirmed high prolactin from my last test and took my blood again. He said that if this one came back high too, I'd have to get an MRI, which I'm really fucking scared of doing 😭

But, but! I asked him about prolonging my injection interval from 3 to 4 days. I was already doing that, I switched as soon as I saw my results, so basically behind his back (oops), but I just wanted to make sure he knew. He was absolutely fine with it, of course.

Also! This was completely unexpected, but he himself offered me the option of monotherapy! Which completely blew my mind, cause endos in this country fucking suck in general and are for some reason hellbent on prescribing 50mg+ of cypro any chance they get. I guess his reputation doesn't lie...
So of course I accepted, I've been looking forward to ditching cypro so fucking much. So byebye, overkill white pills! Oh and I can drink now, I guess?
Although, if my T shoots up, I'm gonna fucking die. But that hopefully shouldn't happen with 5mg EV every 4 days...

And also, I got an SRS referral letter for the Suporn clinic! Signed and stamped by my endo. Already sent the clinic an email, so hope that turns out okay. It's...really important to me. And now I'm (hopefully) one step closer!

All in all, great! I'm so glad I didn't just stay at home, lol. Although I was totally planning it. The lack of motivation and anhedonia from withdrawal is reaaaaaally uncomfortable. But...I think I'm doing okay 💜

Edit: I had one can of beer! And I'm drunk af, lol. Zero alcohol tolerance at all! I don't drink very often, either.

Yay! Woohoo! Yippee! Glory to QUEEN Miisha!!!!

Yaay! Thanks <3

I’m so glad you ended up going to the appointment! good girl~

Awww, Viiv 🥺
Thanks girlie 💜

Hell yeah miisha, you got this. Seems like your doctor is really on top of things and ACTUSLLY LISTENS, that's worth its weight in gold.

be well continuing your journey into girlhood!!

Yeah! My doctor is great. Every single time, I walk into his office nervous and not smiling and walk out later completely calm and with a massive smile on my face, lol

I will, thank youuuu! 🩷

Yaaay! I know I'm just a random stranger, so I hope this isn't weird to say, but I am SO proud of you!! <3 I'm the same way with doctors appointments, so I totally get how big of a hurdle it can be to get yourself to actually go. And I'm so glad your doctor is so good!! :D

Yay! Thank you ❤️

Yeah doctors are scary af. Why so scary if healthcare provider-shaped?? 😭

Anyway, not weird at all. Thanks!

congrats! monotherapy has been wonderfully simple for me, hope you get the treatment you deserve

Thanks! Really hope it all works well...

Congratulations!!!

It's so hard to pick yourself up and go sometimes, but often it ends up really being worth it. I'm so glad that you had such positive outcomes today! Hooray!

Yes it's rough jeez, it's like getting run over by a steamroller and immediately getting all the life sucked out of me by a group of vampires...please don't take that out of context 😭

It definitely was worth it tho! Thanks 💜

Being so close to cancelling an appointment and then just going anyway, and being glad you did is so me lol

So happy for you misha!!

Thank youu! 🩷
Happy I went, lol

I wish I my body didn't handle alcohol. But it does :3
Even with E and weight loss and the fact that don't drink in general.
Still need a significant amount if I ever do so (a bit less today I'd say)

I'm so fucking happy for you sis ! And proud !

yay some much wuv news, gz You!

Glad Your doc is so friendly - some of them feels the mission and do awesome job. Or maybe sorry for these who don't follow changes? My endo also do such stuff, even if I have to travel a lot.

hmmm beer, long time didn't went any czech tavern, like after 1.5 year or so (after being at one weekly for years)... but was at one today! Much nice taste, with cheesy snacks and stuff, did miss that af. Think overall (I may not be ready to say detail) stress of the day did overtake drunkin, so felt nuffin :<

Don't forget about magical 20! and stay cute.

woohoo! happy for you, miisha!

Thank youuu ❤️

Thank youuu sis 💜
I'm progressing! Love ya 🩷

I guess I got a gift...one that I'm really not grateful for tho 😭
I wish you...less alcohol tolerance in the future?
Best of luck sis ♥️

Thank youuu! My doc is amazing, honestly

Did you go to an actual Czech tavern or pub? Cause those places...well, they're a different world, lol.
My bf loves them. I...don't. They're very...idk, male-coded honestly? I don't like the culture much. But you do you girlie! ❤️

And I'm sorry to hear about the stress. Life is hard for everyone now, it seems. We'll all get through this tho 🩷

Girl, you stay cute! You're doing a great job already <3

Yay, I'm happy for you!

Thanks sis 💜

The one of today - "Česká" restaurant by the name, full of pilsner, a little kozel - but somehow more a kozlovna in style.

Used to visit some Svejk weekly with own pack, until they came out as bigots, so no more... My top1 (even have it on my lemmy profile background lol) and top2 taverns are in Prague too, yet I'm not even Czech... oopsie. Also not drinking much since hrt, just happened today coz of friends.

For the stress part, fuck me, it was hrt related after all, doing progress, to say that much. That makes life lovely.

Lets go CUUUUUUUUUUUUUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
