I don't understand how I can roll Nat1s on every single stat? Not only was I fucking cursed enough to be born trans at a time when I would have to wait till I was well into my 30s to get access to hormones, but when I finally do get access to those hormones I get the "affirmation" of fucking PMS. I can't have children. I can't even have normal sexAnd the only guys who are into me are pervertsBut as a consolation prize I get the mental illness part of having a female reproductive system. And that's not even the best bit, the best bit is since I can't get pregnant and will never go through menopause, this is every month for the rest of my life. I'm really struggling to come up with reasons not to make that happen as soon as possible.I can't actually tell if the reason I'm feeling like shit is because of the PMS itself, or because I'm legitimately upset over yet more proof that I was born only to suffer.
>>43064962males cannot experience pms
we don't know yet if it's real for trannies or even fully how it works for cis women buthttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4748434/
>>43064962? You can’t have PMS unless you’re taking hormones on a cycle or your sensitivity is fluctuating like mad You should see a DR it’s definitely not PMS cuz you need a menstrual cycle for that
>>43064962Holy honscience
>>43064990It's literally been fucking clockwork for three months in a row. It's real. I've also been to my doctor who is a qualified gynocologist and has treated hundreds of trans women, she agrees that's what it is and it's not the first time she's seen it. I'm telling you it's real. AND IT SUCKS!
>>43064999That's not true. The estrogen cycle is caused by the menstrual cycle, it does not cause the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is controlled by the pituitary gland.
>>43065033I'm not saying it's not real, I'm saying there isn't good scientific evidence for it (yet)I experience something like it too, but more like PMDD the same way my psycho mom did, and I can tell when it's coming on - but I'm not sure exactly what it is or how that works (maybe it's just controlled by something in the brain/endocrine system and I get to dodge the parts caused by having an actual female reproductive tract while experiencing the more generalized/whole-body symptoms)
>>43065059>PMDDYeah I'm saying PMS, but it's probably more like PMDD. It took me a minute to figure out what the first day feels like, but now I know what a mood swing looks like I got that "oh shit, not again" moment 2 days ago. Which means like 3 days of this shit left. > I'm saying there isn't good scientific evidence for itThat's true of the entire field of transgender health. You wouldn't expect there to be evidence. They don't like studying us and we don't like being studied.
>>43065033i'm too scared or scarred to talk to doctors about anything like that but it's definitely a known thing that estrogen is going to convince your braint o try and convince your body to ovulatehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacodynamics_of_estradiol#Progonadotropic_effectswhat else happens besides the narrow "LH rise" or how this is affected by dose, timing, etc..nobody knows but i'm tired of hearing "oh honscience" when this part is in any endocrinology textbook
>>43065160Yeah I think I kinda got lucky with my doctor, she's got the right kind of tism to work with me, even though I'm gynophobic as fuck and female doctors are the biggest fucking trigger for me. Dealing with doctors is the hardest part of being trans. Crying time now.
>>43065204i'm post op don't even get me started on all the mistreatment. the very notion of gynecology just induces rage in me and you're lucky i didn't write 10,000 words of rant about it here
>>43064962do you take progesterone?
I literally just told my boss that I'm not coming into work again today, she doesn't even care it's that common. I'm not going to make it. I want to put a bullet in my brain, not because I want to kill myself, just because I want to get revenge on my brain for ruining my entire fucking life.All I want is normal, and that's asking way to much. Why am I trying?My parents are getting older, my dad is showing signs of dementia which runs in his family, they're not going to be able to look after me for much longer and I'm not even remotely close to living independently. I can't even make a phone call to get my kitchen window fixed despite high winds for the last two days. And I'm asking myself what is actually my threshold on plan C? Am I giving this another couple of years, or am I ready to just call it a day and hope there's no afterlife.
>>43065313No. I considered unapposed E syndrome. But that's not cyclical, this is.
wow you have pms, it's almost like you're a real girl! you're just like us!
>>43065416kms
>>43065367> Has a job when most trans women can't find any form of employment. KYS you privileged fuck.
>>43065374supposedly it can help, or potentially make it worse, but evidence is lacking
>>43066075It's a volunteer job. I can't get paid work either. >>43066119For unapposed E syndrome or for PMS?Coz I've got a script, I was just hoping to be at the bottom of a weight cycle before I started.
>>43066143>For unapposed E syndrome or for PMS?both
>>43066150I'll think about it. I'm also worried it's going to make me horny af at a time when I couldn't catch a dick to save my life.
