My doctor says that if T drops too far, that can cause fatigue as well as when your body first starts to go from T driven to E driven.  Everyone needs a T level between 25 - 50 pg/ml to maintain sex drive or interest at least as well as motivation for everyday tasks at hand.

But, here's the thing.  If you are trying to go to a more female body, you need to have at least 100- 200 pg/ml Estrogen while keeping T below 100.  If you cant, that is where the nasties come in like DVT, Stroke, PAD etc.  It's all in the balance of things.

Aria, I'm not understanding your post. Do you mean "if you can't" keep T below 100 or "if you can't keep estrogen above 100-200 pg/ml? If my energy level, motivation, sex drive and physical response to stimulation are any indication, I still have reasonable T levels, but I am concerned about the stuff you're talking about.

I noticed this morning that my butt has definitely increased in size and I was surprised to see folds in the skin lower down my butt. Almost like they're starting to hang (not good). I have always looked at my butt profile in the mirror and this is definitely new. When I take my hands, cup my butt cheeks and shake them, there is more fat now, and the fatty tissue sort of vibrates into the rear of my legs. It's like there is more fat in my upper legs too. Can someone explain please.

This stuff is surely transforming me in slow motion. My denims are starting to sit differently as well, and I have to pull them up more than I can remember before. It's like they're sliding down easily. I am still the same weight however I had to make a new hole in my belt because it is feeling way too loose. I can't figure this out. Can it be that a female denim will fit me better now (I never wear denim in girl mode)

PS: I 've made my first ever appointment with a female psychiatrist. I'm starting to feel lost and alone and I need professional help. Will keep you updated. Is this the "depression" ???

Bev, I noticed something similar. My jeans won't fall down because they get caught on my (larger) butt, but I have trouble keeping them up. I have had to make my belt tighter, as well. What I think is happening is that my larger butt is pushing my pants down because there's not as much/enough room for my cheeks. One way I figured this out is that I noticed that underwear and pajama bottoms push down in the back (to the point that my crack shows) whenever I bend over. I'm very thin, but I have these fatty, bouncy butt cheeks now! Softer to sit on, too.

Please don't hesitate to drop me a PM from time to time if you want to share some thoughts. I try to check in here every day and I'm here if you need someone to talk to!
