Hi Melissa,
I think Ginie used PC on and off with BO. Don't remember if it worked well. I would normally drink fennel tea, but I don't know if anyone tried that with BO.
Hi Susan,
This is the part of the cycle for real growth, yes. Maybe the FG causes a little swelling. It won't be much, since you're not taking much FG.
Cooking may be a good idea: men eat worse under stress
The lighting on my daughter's face was also from the side: they really wanted her to look like the poor kid she plays in the movie.
The avatar is me, yes, a party pic from 2004 or so. I put a link to a video in your program thread too.
I read a Dutch TG forum
www.travestie.org
today about this publication
http://www.eje-online.org/content/164/4/635.abstract
which I referred to before in this thread:
http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=9076&pid=31822#pid31822
The research was pre-published a year ago in a Dutch newspaper. At that time, the first author, dr. Henk Asscheman, said he linked some of the problems post ops have to ethinylestradiol, a medication they no longer use for transition. One of the issues, a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, is a warning in the safety documentation of ethinylestradiol today.
I do know it's still in bcp. Come to think of it, I saw it on the box of my elder daughter's bcp a while ago. More research to do. She's 18, so she's supposed to decide for herself, but the more I learn, the more I feel responsible for other people's health
Hi Susan,
I've been thinking about nausea since you started the thread about it. Actually since you wrote you feel like you're pregnant. Are you really sure you're not?
In pregnancy, nausea is caused by increased estrogen:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_sickness
Yet nausea is not on lists of symptoms of excess estrogen. Everybody with a working NBE program has high estrogen here. Yet I read very little about nausea.
So I don't understand
Why you, and not the others? What's the link with pregnancy?
Hello again Isa,
Yes that is why I wrote that thread cause I havent heard anyone else with nausea either.. at night it gets better then after eating it starts again and morning it is some times already there or after eating.. today I made eggs for protein and to see if it was the cereal I have been eating every morning well nope.. feel alittle nauseous eating then got tired then felt more nauseous.. after after a short nap felt like having milk so I had some ice cream well nauseous again.. even at times having coffee or a cig.. just about anything.. maybe I am not prego (it would great if I was prego) but my body thinks I am..could that be.. that is way I havent been on here only in little segments (I keep the site up but not on the computer)..if this continues for another 2 weeks or so then I will get a prego test done.. I dont have much of an appetitte and just to keep something healthy in me I make my protein shakes from scratch not the powder stuff.. I have been wanting milk more often not saying it doesnt make me feel nauseous.. dunno
I am in the peak of my cycle of estrogen rising but this started almost 3 weeks ago..I will keep tabs on what foods do help if any..
Good morning Susan,
It could be something with your stomach. Gastrointestinal disease is the other big cause of nausea. Try a cup of coffee that's not as strong as usual. If that helps, it could be your stomach. Milk is usually a bad idea for ulcers too.
Your body may think you are pregnant, yes. And then it's my fault, because you have been on 2 PM through your period. Now I'm afraid going to 3 PM on day 9 will make it worse
Hi Susan,
I hope 3 PM works out. It's interesting that maca + FG gave a headache, but it went away quickly. I still believe you can achieve a lot by timing them right.
82 kg this morning. That was my winter weight a few years ago. I aim for my summer weight, 79 kg (174 lbs), by end September. Early October is the end of my three month ramp up. A healthy weight (18.5 < BMI < 25) is below 79.6 kg.
I just watched two hours of interview with professor Dick Swaab:
http://programma.vpro.nl/zomergasten/arc...Swaab.html
As an extra in my younger daughter's movie, I made € 25. The first € 25 that I'm proud of in my life. I spent it on Dick Swaab's book for the general public, which most of the general public in the Netherlands have read this summer:
http://www.bol.com/nl/p/nederlandse-boek...0080954bbi
He was one of the people who published in 1995 in Nature that TSs' brains are physically different:
A Sex Difference in the Human Brain and its Relation to Transsexuality
http://tgmeds.org.uk/diffa.html
He got a lot of flak in the late eighties for discovering a difference in brains of gays. They had just come out of a 50 year struggle to remove homosexuality from the psychiatric Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. By 2008, Swaab could quote other research confirming that gays really do have different brains:
http://www.pnas.org/content/105/30/10273.short
http://www.pnas.org/content/105/30/10273.full
Using the index of the book, I've read the bits about TSs. Nothing in there about TGs in the narrow sense of the word, but he did make an interesting comment in the interview. He said the research focuses on extremes: women and men. Exposure to hormones and other chemicals in the uterus determine if one is shot into life in one direction or the other. But you can also be shot "somewhere in the middle".
I know my interest in NBE predates my choice of a profession. I listened carefully to my mother telling me about herbs with hormonal effects. Shortly after their start up in 1973, this company's folder was in the mail. The ad about their hops-placenta cream B-form really caught my eye:

I was 12. I'm really curious about the rest of Dick Swaab's book. Does he mean to tell me my brain was hard coded for NBE three months before I was born?
anywho.. you are very pretty.. nice bone structure.. oh as for the picture of her they did do a good job with the skin thing but I can see without the makeup I can tell she has nice skin maybe others dont see that but I could tell..
