Ilang taon ba dapat bago mag HRT?


Truth is madaming kasaling factors dito and sa Philippines, mejo mahirap sya i-tackle kasi malalim ang usapin ng HRT sa atin. 

Nonetheless, ang HRT naman is a choice, if of ANY legal age ka na, you may choose from many options naman. However, if underage, best to consult parin your parents or guardians. If hindi ka pa openly out as a trans sa household nyo, mejo mahirap magundergo ng changes because some HRT changes may be permanent, especially on your reproductive system. 

Sa western countries kung saan may options are trans even during adolescence usually they can get treated dun but UNDER CONSENT OF LEGAL GUARDIAN & SUPERVISION of a medical professional. If done properly, maganda ang effects kasi nagiging affirming yung physical characteristics nila on their identity. 

The best thing to consider in transitioning in trans Pinay youth siguro are the following: 

1. Accessibility sa HRT meds.

2. Affordability ng HRT meds. 

3. Acceptability ng parents/guardians or family. Remember, it is always still the best if they support, tolerate and accept you esp. if under ka pa sa care nila and not yet independent. 

4. Support groups. Today, madami na tayong support groups kahit sa social media, local organizations and even the medical societies (slowly nga lang) opening to transgender concerns. 

Author's note for the very young: Start your HRT the right way. Consider mo yung mga factors above and make a long term plan. HRT is a big leap into transitioning. Di pwedeng pabago bago or hindi sure.

Authors note for the late HRT use: Sa mga older naman, let us not forget to consider our pre-existing conditions din naman and also consider HRT requires a change in lifestyle. Di naman need maging super healthy lifestyle, pero your body is still "mortal" may mga bisyong need i-give up to ensure that safe and best results. 

Again mga sis, trust the process it may be long but then again, it is a fulfilling journey.

Phenokinon F: Gaano kadalas ang minsan? Gaano karami ang onte?

So sa new to phenokinon f users, usually ang common question is, gaano kadalas dapat ang pag inject? Well. Serious mode muna tayo.  Frequency ng injection pwede syang based sa amount of dosage na need. In short, only a medical professional na nagbasa ng lab test mo at nag aalaga sa endocrine system mo ang makakapagsabi. Wag na tayo maglokohan, mahirap ma achieve ang access sa doctor and most are really self-medicating. My blog is NOT promoting self-medication and treat this information as general curated information lamang sis.  Frequency ng Phenokinon F is recommended ng karamihang trans sisters who has been using it for years to be 1 ampoule every 3 to 5 days. Important na i-note natin sis na if you are also taking oral Estrogen HRT combined with the Phenok injection, reasonable naman to inject Estradiol Benzoate ng 5mg lang din talaga around 5 days. Hindi sya pwedeng madaliin, kasi tandaan ang magsa-suffer ang liver mo.  Both Estradiol Benzoate and Progesterone in P...

Phenokinon F Injections: Tama ba para sa iyong HRT?

Sa mundo ng pharma ang tawag sa pamilya ng mga gamot kasali ang Phenokinon F ay EB/P4 or mas madaling maintindihan at nakalagay din naman sa box as  Estradiol benzoate/progesterone. Marami namang gamot na ganito ang composition at prices range from affordable to very expensive tulad ng mga brand names na: Duogynon, Duogynon ampule, Duogynon forte, Duogynon simplex, Duoton Fort T P, Emmenovis, Estroprogyn, Gestrygen. Wala naman akong sina-suggest sa mga brand names na yan, gusto ko lang i-point out na Phenokinon F is just among the many brands out there na available ang hormone combo preparation na ito.  let's talk about Phenok...  Is it a good type of HRT for you? This greatly depends sa iyo sis. If keri mo ang injections, side-effects and sometimes (down time) why not!  Masakit nga ba kasi oil-based at bakit oil ang ginamit?  Yung viscosity (lapot) ng gamot ay totoong may effect and it can cause discomfort kung oil kasi, viscous ang oil. Oil ang used nila ...

Mga benefits ng HRT, pagusapan natin

Bakit marami sa Trans Pinay ang under sa HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy?  So today, itackle natin mostly is the feminizing HRT, kasi syempre, I am a transwoman and I know little or even very little sa masculinizing besides what I may have learned from school.  Today dito sa Philippines mas madami na ang transwoman na under ng HRT because they have access to the therapeutic medicines and di rin natin madedeny na, madami narin knowledgebase circulating around the internet and among peers. So bravo! We finally achieved something good with information technology.  Hormone Replacement Therapy is one of the many ways na makapagtransition tayo to match our sense of gender identity. Physical, emotional and psychological benefits are surely there.  May mga ideal and need to be discussed components are best HRT and siguro need itong malaman ng maraming transgenders to achieve the best possible individual result.  1. Male Blockers. Antiandrogen. Antitestosterone. (mada...
