random hormones questions

[opiumprincess.livejournal.com]

is there any benefit to being on progesterone after a certain amount of time? my impression was that it was primarily for initial breast growth, but my doctor never had me go off of it. it's been over two years on hormones so my guess would be it's probably not doing much at this point?

this may seem like a kind of silly thing but it bothers me a bit. have any of you noticed dark circles under your eyes after starting hormones? it drives me crazy that I have them and they're about the only thing I can think of that may be causing them. if you have noticed it, which hormones in particular were causing it for you? I'm on prometrium (micronized progesterone), premarin and spiro.

I Don't Care If it is Just Psychological

I've been on Spiro (100mg) for four days and I notice I am happier and calmer then I have been in ages (even my usual Sunday depression wasn't a problem).

Where do people in Canada buy their testosterone?

In the US it seems like everyone orders it from Stroheckersrx.com. I couldn't afford T if it weren't a generic compound, and most places only sell brand names.

But Stroheckers doesn't ship to Canada, and I'm moving to Montreal next month. I guess I can get my stroheckers rx sent to friends in the US and have them mail it to me, but that seems a little risky.

Breast augmentation & sports

 So what is the consensus on getting breast implants if you play sports?  I've heard they are easy to burst and require different mammograms.   If I'm still physically active should I wait to have them done?    

edited to say that i've been on hrt four years now, so there has been adequate time for development.

Strategy change.

I've been labouring under a misapprehension.

I had assumed my parents resistance to my transition was based on ignorance. It seemed a fairly valid assumption.

And they wouldn't read the book I bought them so I got them a 16 page pamphlet from MIND. I brought it in and said "Since you don't have time to read the big book I got you a short guide."

And the reply "We both read the book on holiday."

Nothing else, just that. They read the book,as if it was a duty or a punishement they had to endure.

I'm not sure where to go with this now. I'd thought that a little knowledge would open them up a little, but it hasn't changed anything. I guess I can stop hoping for blinding flashes of revelation from them now. It's going to be the long hard grind...
