That’s interesting that you had success with the face and not so much the rest of your body. I’ve had the opposite experience, where most of my body hair zaps away great, but my facial hair is stubborn. You have given me hope to keep trying at it!

@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Ah yeah, that’s a good one! I do think it’s best to be honest like that, even if I might be omitting some info. In my case, my mom was good with ny answer of “I started using conditioner every day and shampooing less often,” which is also true haha

Whoa nice! Congratulations!!

@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Thank you! Aw, that’s a really cool moment with your friend. Both coming out to each other, at the same time!

God I hope she didn’t think that lol. She is the long time girlfriend of one of my best friends, who was also at the faire. The next day she remembered the conversation, but not the freezing. I feel like the substances we were on were a major factor in how it played out, everybody was pretty deep in it by that point haha

Thank you so much!

@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah it was hilarious in retrospect. I think she was like startled by something that needed her undivided attention and so entered the most stable and powerful pose known to man

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Thank you! Yes, I feel very lucky. I treasure my friends dearly

This made me laugh aloud lmao

Nooooo! This is horrible news. Who will produce the weird stuff now?

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

LMAO, yeah my brain would be toast. I’d hope my discord friends would tell me to stop, rather than congratulating me haha. Ecstasy is nice like, once every several months!

Here is the video I use for instructions! Using your hands as the guide to find the right spot is very useful.

Also the appropriate needle length will vary from individual to individual, but IM uses needles 1/2" and longer, 1" being a pretty length size I feel. You just insert the needle until it is entirely in. Good luck! It’s very chill once you have the hang of it

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I am stupid and somehow messed that up, sorry!

There it is

@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Hey, if it works, it works! This is how I got taught to do it, but I know there are other injection points that work just as well.

Planned Parenthood gave me the 1.5" needles at my instructional appointment and they scare me WAY too much lol, I ended up using some 1" ones my pharmacy gave me instead. You are braver than I am!

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Harnessing rage is a good strategy! I’ll remember that next time I gotta do my injection lol.

Yeah I have only done it once so far, and I just followed the instructions to the letter and pushed in rather gently. Felt suuuuuper weird, but didn’t hurt at all! I expected to feel more, so that was a relief. It was scary as hell, though

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I think the pinch is just to raise a bump to inject in, because it hurts less when you do that. For me, it doesn’t feel much firmer than the rest of my leg, so I think as long as you are pinching the right spot, you should be good even if it doesn’t feel like you are grabbing a muscle per se

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That is very suspicious, I would not have noticed if you didn’t point it out

Hey girls! Baby trans here with some questions about body hair

So, my egg finally cracked a few weeks ago. And while generally dysphoria isn’t terrible for me at the moment, one thing that is really making me uncomfortable is my body hair. I’ve always been pretty hairy, so I bought an epilator a while ago, and while I’m really happy with it for my legs (smooth legs are aweeesome!),...

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

If you have darker hair and lighter skin, IPL devices are fantastic for getting some permanent hair reduction relatively quickly! I use a Braun Silk Pro 5, and it stings like the snap of a rubber band, but everywhere from my neck down just grows WAY less hair than it used to now.

I used to epilate and still do for certain spots like my hands, but that pain is pretty rough. It’s hard to beat the smooth results of epilating your legs though, that was fantastic.

I haven’t been on HRT long enough to experience any changes in hair growth from that, sadly

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You might try an a-line dress! I got one on amazon for very cheap and it was the first thing that ever fit me in a way I was really happy with. They have measurement charts and as long as you are around the right numbers I think you’d find success.

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Glad things are going so well for you! Having that talk with people close to you has been difficult for me, it’s good to hear you went through it and it worked out well!

Life is good for me, lately! I am still very early in my transition, but I have spoken to a few of my friends about it and they were all very supportive, and don’t treat me any differently at all, which I was worried about. I am pretty pleased with how everything is going!

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’m not the person you asked, but I started HRT very recently so I think I am in a good place to gauge my mental changes. Honestly for me personally, I do not think hormone therapy affected my mood much. I feel great, but I think that feeling has come from finally starting changes in my life that I have long awaited. Other than that, I feel like it is easier for me to cry, which I like, and I just feel very much myself. I’ve heard other people say that they felt great immediately after starting HRT, so I suppose results may vary.

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Thanks for the advice! Yeah they showed me that site as well as the upper thigh, as options. I feel like I am pretty pain tolerant, so I’m hoping it will go alright. Nervous for the first time

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That is super helpful, thank you! Yeah I think I will want to follow this guide for the first few times. I know it is not as scary as I think it is, but I really wanna make sure I don’t screw anything up!

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Oh that sucks! What’s their hangup, do they think it’s too complicated or something?

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I just gave that one a look! It seems like it would be great, I’d love to not actually have to do the poking myself lol. Where did you buy it? Haven’t found a source online yet

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Now that I’ve done my first injection, I totally understand this. It is cool to get out all the equipment and follow the steps carefully and exactly, and I only had the tiniest pinprick of blood! There was essentially no pain, either. I guess it was a lot scarier in my head than it is in reality lol

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I agree with you for most of the Conjuring universe movies. However, James Wan didn’t direct this Nun sequel, and I think it was WAY better. Still ridiculous and reliant on jump scares, but it had a lot of original ideas and I personally think it is the best of the Conjuring movies.

@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

This is an incredible post

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You look amazing! I am hoping to be able to post a timeline like this myself, some day

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Oh joy lmao. I suppose it’s true what they say. No pain, no gain!

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Interesting! I guess it is different for everybody. I hope you see the changes you’re after before long! I only have extremely minute change happening right now, but the pain is definitely here haha

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It looks like she still posts! I saw recent tweets on her account, though I loathe to visit twitter

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Is that so? I am researching, but I am not having much success finding indecency from Larian Studios. What have they done?

Regardless, $80 for a game is just way too much. High seas is a good option

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah I love D&D, but WotC sucks big time

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yeah getting started was the scariest part! Now that I have gotten past that, I am really glad that I didn’t just keep on waiting. Jealous of your anniversary haha, 4/20 is a very good one lmao

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Very wise. That’s one major reason I ended up going through Planned Parenthood even though the social interaction scared me. Having regular checkups on DIY seemed like it would be harder to do

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Aahh that’s awesome! I hope your appointment goes well, and that you start feeling full charge once again!

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Wow! They are genuinely very beautiful. I would like to see more bouquets like this in the world. Pretty, and functional!

Thoughts on pills vs injections

I was talking to my hairdresser last week and she loves injections. Guess she forgets enough that pills everyday are too much for her. I’m taking mine in the morning, evening and then progesterone right before bed. So, three times a day I have to take pills. Guess I’m curious what your thoughts about the differences are and...

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I believe that you have steadier hormone levels when you take pills twice a day, vs weekly injections. I don’t think that makes a big difference practically. I only have experience with pills because I also hate needles haha

With all the news about Sinnead O'Connor dying recently (RIP) I've been seeing her face a lot and ngl it's been so nice seeing a woman with really short hair like mine being unambiguously feminine

For context I have a genetic hair condition that almost all the AMAB peopleband one or two of the AFAB people on my dad’s side of the family have that means my hair will only ever grow a tiny bit before breaking and falling out. I currently haven’t been able to start hrt yet so maybe that will make it grow out but since...

@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

This is a good post! Glad to have ya here!

Krrygon,
@Krrygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I don’t know if you have an interest in horror, but I just watched Talk to Me last night and it was fantastic. Very well made and thoughtfully written. Not what I would call “fun,” but a very good movie.
