Ive been thinking about it fir a while, but i think i really want it. It feels strange still being so early on. Ive inly started hrt 8 months ago, but i really want it. And i want ffs. Its like the floodgates broke open and i want as much as i can get.
I got bottom surgery 11 months after starting hrt, and that required me to start the paperwork process 4 or so months in to things. If you need it you need it. There’s no such thing as too soon.
Yup, there’s a ton of advance work: hair removal, referral letters from psychologists, insurance wrangling, figuring out your caregiver situation during recovery… go ahead and get started, you’ll be prepping for 9-12 months.
Ive started the hair removal, that was the first thing that i couldn’t stand hah. Good advice from yiu two, i should get started looking into it all.

I didn’t think I wanted it before I started transition. It took a few months for it to fully sink it that it was a thing I could do and that it would make me happier. I also maybe felt a bit like I didn’t deserve it. I wasn’t able to get it for a long time due to medical gatekeeping, but I’m very happy I was eventually able to get it nonetheless.
My brain is unconvinced that medical science has advanced far enough in the bottom surgery field for me to be comfortable with it. Born too early for the lab grown body parts.
And also I’m going to be broke getting top surgery anyways.
You seem to think that it’s only okay to start wanting bottom surgery years after transitioning but I don’t see why that should be the case. Knowing I most likely want to get bottom surgery even though I’m somewhat scared of it actually helped me get over my doubts and start transitioning in the first place.
Kinda same. I’ve been on HRT for a while. Like… 5 years a while >^<
I’ve wanted bottom surgery for years now, but get very anxious when I start picking up the phone to do it. It can also just be hard in the mental sense to push yourself to get something you need, like going to the dentist or whatever. You know you need it, but one reason or another makes it more difficult than it really should be.
I’m happy that I don’t mind it too much still being there, but I did think a lot a few days ago how everything would be just be better if it was gone. Hell, if I even got an orchiectomy it would be an improvement. But y’know… Bills, insurance doesn’t cover it, having to spend everyday of my life having to help my family out. Just never ever had enough time nor money to really try and work on myself more than just the hormones (╥﹏╥)
Anyways, I wish chu luck on chur journey! ° Thanks for taking your time to read. 🫂❤️
