FTM's and Transitioning
I've not really been around this site much in the last few months, almost a year, but I wanted to come in here and participate. I appreciate the guys who have transitioned before me talking about their experiences and sharing them with us here.
I started my transition February 2013 with my first dose of Testosterone. It was the best day of my life so far. It's been a life saver for me in terms of being happy with myself and who I am. I went to court with the required documents in April 2013 and had my name legally changed without a lawyer. I obtained the documents off the website texaslawhelp.org. The Judge approved my name change in a little over an hour of dropping off the paperwork to his legal secretary. March 2014, I went back to court with my name and gender marker change documents. I added my middle name which was my father's middle name and I had my gender marker changed. I had all the necessary documents I needed to legally change everything. Once again, no lawyer was needed. I dropped off my paperwork to the Judge himself this time, since his secretary was out of the office. He called me back in less than an hour and told me my order was ready and I could pick it up. As soon as I picked up the order from the court, I went and changed my driver's license and social security card. Everyone was very professional and respectful while making these changes. Now, I've got my house for sale. I'm about to go get top surgery. Life is good. I've never been happier.

Not sure if anyone has posted this before but wanted others to know that some planned parenthoods offer transgender services.
I have a regular dr in Los Angeles but haven't been able to get down there. Went to the one in Reno today and really was impressed with the dr. I saw. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/pla...ender-services |

Just thought I would introduce myself to the trans community on here,I started transition 2007,so been on T 8 yrs,I have Reandron by injection,it is a slow release and I get it every 3 mths,I have had top surgery and hysterectomy,but because of cost and my health no bottom surgery.
Transitioning has changed my life,I had suffered terrible depression,and self hatred,all my life,I'm now happy with the reflection in the mirror,I am now doing things I never dreamt of doing,I'm traveling overseas on my own,learning piano,playing harmonica,and finally stopped trying to kill myself with unhealthy eating,and other forms of self hatred. I do believe in gender dysphoria and I have a high level,there is no way I would ever go back,even though I pretty much lost my whole family and most old friends,I now have an amazing community of trans folk,both men and women and the queer sex worker community and other activists,I have a brand new life,the only thing is the community in Sydney is young,which is why,I joined this site to network,with folks my own age,and maybe even meet a nice woman,but ultimately friendships.

Hot Flushes
I just thought I would add something that was happening to me,ive been sick for 2.5 yrs and I missed a T shot,as my levels dropped I started getting hot flushes,to a point of maybe 50 a day,2 weeks ago I had my 2nd shot on time,all hot flushes are gone,I think that for us older guys there is no road map,we are the lab rats,also I had had a hysterectomy,so that confuzed them as well.
Has anyone encountered this? And please if I dont get back,Im not ignoring you,I just havnt seen your response.

Hey Vincent,
I am 57, and have been taking Testosterone injections for almost 17 years. I had a hysto 7 years prior to starting T. My chest surgery was in early 2000. I personally have gone without a shot for a month or two, simply because I forget about it once in a while. I have never had hot flashes from missing my shots. At most, I sometimes start feeling a little down and then I realize I am way overdue for my shot. Hope this info helps. Jesse Quote:

I went 6 mths plus I'm on reandron which is every 10 weeks,ive just had 2 shots in a row on time and the hot flushes have stopped,I have an appointment to see the endo my next shot,I wonder if the hormones effects us all differently? Thanks everyone for chiming in and Corkey I will ask her about that.Although it seems for me it was low levels since they are gone,over here we go to the hospital and have our bloods done before every shot,its free so our levels are constantly monitored,I was on every 12 weeks and started to get hot flushes about 3 yrs ago,she"my Endo"said my levels were low and changed it to every 10 weeks,and the flushes stopped,and now I'm back to normal,also my body likes the high end of the scale,I guess I'm putting it out there coz there really is no real test group,just our own experience,especially for us older guys,thats just my thinking,also our population is tiny compared to the USA.So thanks for the input

Ok, Vincent, I see what you are saying here.
I am going to assume that when you say you had a hysterectomy, you had a oophorectomy (removal of ovaries), during that surgery (not everyone does, but I think that is part of the standard hysto for trans guys in Australia). However, here you are, 8 years later, having menopausal symptoms after stopping testosterone for a period of time. I just spent the last 45 minutes doing a bit of research on the web. I read that some females can have menopausal symptoms (i.e. hot flashes), up to 10 years after hitting natural menopause ("menopause" = determined by blood work). That is a long time. This is because even though the ovaries have stopped producing estrogen, there can still be a very slow reduction of estrogen in the female system. However, you are talking 8 years after surgical menopause where the ovaries are completely removed. I couldn't find anything on the web that would tell me how long menopausal symptoms should last after that. I am very curious about this though, so I am going to continue to look into it. Now, on the off chance that you still have your ovaries and are saying that you find it weird (and that your doctor concurs), that after stopping testosterone for 6 months that you had a return of menopausal symptoms, I do not find that strange. Testosterone shuts down estrogen production, but only temporarily. A person can be on testosterone for 20 years, but if they stop their testosterone, the ovaries will pick back up where they left off, producing estrogen, as normal. Two weeks ago I had a full hysterectomy (including oophorectomy). I had a massive amount of adhesions (scar tissue), due to past abdominal surgery. Amazingly, my surgeon was so committed to doing it by laproscopy so that I wouldn't have to get cut abdominally, that he spent the extra 4 hours needed to cut through all of the scar tissue to get to all of my reproductive system for removal. Needless to say, since he had such a hard time seeing everything through the mess of scar tissue, he said there is a very small chance that he didn't get every bit of the ovarian tissue of one (or both), of my ovaries. He told me that if that is the case, and I go off testosterone, there is a chance that my body will produce estrogen again.
