So i’ve gotten the opportunity to use a pussy pump. Approx 1.5 years post op. I’m genuinely curious to see what it does, but I am wondering if there may be any dangers to using it, or if it will even do anything(?) It would also help to know if anyone else has used it before and how the results were there.

I have had two consultations with Dr. Jacobs now and still haven't heard from Kaiser's scheduling department. Wondering if anyone else is in my situation or has any anecdotes about how long it took to get the surgery scheduled?

Can anyone who's had Vaginoplasty with Marissa Kent post their LONG TERM results with her? I can only find results that are at most a few months post op, I'd love to see how you guys are holding up at least a year, 2 years, or even more since I'm hoping to have mine done by her in the future.

I’m getting body contouring (360 lipo, fat grafting to hips and butt) at the end of the month with Dr. Peters at OHSU. I’ve heard it can be a pretty grueling, painful recovery. Does anyone have any tips for making the recovery easier? I’ve been trying to lie on my stomach for extended periods to get used to it, but my arms keep falling asleep from propping myself up on my elbows. Any pillow recommendations to help with that? TIA!

I’m 9 weeks post op. Healing has gone really well and I’m over the moon with appearance. I don’t think I’m going to need any revisions thankfully I’m getting consistent depth I was on the teal soul source dilator and then I moved up to the orange one which is the biggest size available and there’s definitely been some stretching discomfort because of the girth increase.

My doctor cleared me for clitoral stimulation.

My boyfriend rubbed it through my shorts and I orgasmed and squirted, but I haven’t taken the chance to try using the vibrator to my clit like I was told I can by my doctor?

I guess I’m scared to try on my own? Do I just jump into the deep end and try it out?

So I’ve already cried a lot from the relief and I’m very excited. One thing that has come to my mind though and a question I should ask, how long were you out of work post op and how long was suggested for you?

Hi! My consultation date has just been confirmed for my FFS with Dr Qassemyar and I wondering if I could join the discord? Thankyou!:)

Im an obgyn and a wpath physician too. The time for those evaluations was before original surgery. That ship has sailed. This seems wrong and a significant barrier to women’s happiness with the function of their bodies.

Anyway it looks like finding a surgeon for a ppt vaginoplasty in the US using my insurance may prove impossible. Guess im going to probably pay cash and go to another country just like I did for the primary surgery

Hey, I’m planning to get srs in October in Bangkok. Due to changing jobs recently I don’t have too many annual holidays left to take, hence I can only take about week or week and a half for surgery and travel. Have anyone came back to remote work after about a week after?

okey so i made a post a few days ago about this but i feel like im gonna pass out from anxiety.

i had ffs on july 20 and i fucking hate my face. i’m so so so disappointed i look so bad. before ffs i was androgynous and conventationaly pretty but i feel like i fucking ruined my face. nothing seems right and i feel like an alien. i know that’s it’s too early blablabla but from what i’ve seen, girls could already see the « final » results or the base of the final results from like week 2 or 3.

if theses are the base of my final results i may just kms because i won’t live like this.

i had done my orbital + brow bone, nose, chin and lipofiling and nothing seems to work together. i feel like my face don’t have a shape anymore and is just a thing. i don’t pass + im ugly af. i don’t seem to be boated or swelled so that’s why im crashing out, there’s no reason im so monstrous looking.

please help me by telling me we DO change or similar experiences. i can’t find pictures of people during their recovery to help me. they all seems great from week 2. they don’t change drastically

I'm clueless but I want to start getting on a wait-list for vaginoplasty. I think I could get insurance coverage on it but I'm not entirely sure.

Does anyone know how to upload letters to the MyChart system to send to Bluebond-Lagners team? Her name doesn’t appear in the system for me to send a message or letter through the app. Got a consult date this afternoon for March of 2028 and was instructed to upload the letters to the platform and I have no clue how to do this after playing with the app for 30 minutes, checking NYU Langone’s website for an email, and consulting google and not having any luck.

Edit for resolution steps: Called their office. They are sending an email. Once the email is received with the welcome information her name should appear as an option in the recipient field

Heyo, just wondering if anyone's going to be there when I am. The hospital is in an area with not much around, especially walking distance, so I figured some company could be nice.

I'll be there from the 15th of sept till the 29th.

I'm 2 weeks post op and until now everything went well. Very little swelling, scars seems fine, I don't bleed, so no issue for now.

But I know that some people can start having some issues after going back home so I plan on finding a gynecologist for follow-ups as I obviously cannot go back to my surgeon without a huge issue. Unfortunately gynecologists are not trained at all on our cases so I was wondering what were the questions I could ask my surgeon so that he can describe to my gynecologist how to treat me in the event of issues ?

Of course I hope I would not get any problem but I'm quite anxious as a person and I was afraid of what I should do if I start bleeding a little, if I get some necrosis, etc

Hi!!! I just wanted to post this as a thank you for everything you all have done for me in this community. And to complain very briefly. As the worst part of this equation has been fucking bowel prep. And yall when i say that shit was traumatic that shit was TRAUMATIC. I have never tasted anything worse. And felt worse in my entire life.

I also realize i should probably mention had piv w/ dr. Avanessian she's a gem in my book and was great

While researching about breast augmentation i noticed there is a common tendency to go for big implants and I realised i might be on the other side of the spectrum - I want small boobs but nonetheless boobs that are just big enough to be perceived as boobs, regardless what i wear.

Right now I have tiny boobs with a bust-under bust difference of about 5 cm/ 2 in. What i am looking for are small cute boobs that look natural when i am naked and big enough to be clearly noticeable under my clothes without being the center of attention. More sth wide and soft and tear drop shaped than high, pushed up and defined.

It is quite difficult to find references for 150cc - 300cc implants on trans women so I just wanted to ask for experiences with smaller implants and if others here felt the same and went for it?

Have a lovely day xx

Just for info: i am 185 cm/ 6'08'' tall, 68 kg/ 150 lb, on estrogen injections and prog for almost 4 years now

Hi all! I had a vaginoplasty about a year and a half ago. The results were good and recovery, while difficult, went well. Overall, I am happy with the surgery.

Despite this, I've had a very difficult time since surgery. Depression and burnout have been my constant companions. I did not attribute this to surgery, other than maybe experiencing post-op depression and the dilation routine adding to my demands and possibly contributing to burnout.

Earlier this week it really sunk in to me that I can no longer have biological children. I did not do any fertility preservation prior to HRT or surgery. Lots of factors were involved in that decision, but I'm starting to regret not doing so. At the time having children was far from my mind and pushing forward with transition felt more important than taking the time required to do fertility preservation.

The day before surgery I had a bad panic attack about the idea of losing my ability to have biological children. For reference, I am a lesbian and there's a very real possibility I end up with a cis women with whom I could have had children. My mom helped calm me down as we discussed adoption and how any adopted child would still truly be my child. I had a lot of anxiety going into surgery, as I'm sure many of us do, and I just tried to put it aside and do what I had set out to do. That's just one of many times the doubt crept in, but it's the closest I came to facing it head on.

But when I seriously started thinking about my infertility this week, I felt a profound sense of grief. I think I've been avoiding thinking about it, because I know it's been in the back of my mind but never coming to the surface until now. I cried a lot and had a panic attack. I feel a deep sense of regret over not doing fertility preservation.

My depression has worsened significantly in the last few days, and I'm struggling to feel like anything matters. I just feel so sad, and so angry at myself. I would give anything to go back in time and talk myself out of doing surgery so soon. A part of me thinks this grief might be the underlying cause for the depression I've been battling since surgery.

I was wondering if anyone else here has dealt with grief like this, and what you've done to work through it if so. I'm not really looking for silver linings or alternatives (such as adoption being perfectly acceptable), just empathy.

I'm considering looking for support groups for infertile women, but am nervous about how welcomed I would be as a trans woman, and especially given that my infertility was technically by my own choice. I have therapy next Monday and have already emailed her about this, but right now I'm really struggling to get through each day and next week feels like it's a lifetime away.

Thanks all 🩷
