Two Weeks Noticed

[Guest NatashaJade]

Not too much to report this week. I'm mostly just settling in with the reality that this is a long ride with few quick thrills. I am at once disappointed and relieved. I am happy to just sit back and relax and let it come, not expecting too much from the day to day of taking pills to see what happens. Que sera sera. If I spend too much time trying to examine the minutia, I will lose the bigger picture, which is I am becoming me a little bit more all the time.

So am I happy all the time? No. I am moody a lot. But I am also losing the angry edge. I used to live with controlled rage and that is gone. I spent time with my mother and did not want to scream(mostly). I spent time with my father and did not want to punch him in the face (mostly). I drove 12 hours and did not feel like I was in a race. I was more than happy to let people pass me and did not feel the need to antagonize tailgaters. I'm a much mellower version of the me I used to be. So am I happy all the time? No. But I am happy about this even when I am blue.

Oh, and I think my skin is a little softer. My wife semi-confirmed this, but she says it has always been soft. It's so hard to tell about this kind of thing because self-perception is a tricky thing. I'll go with a little softer and leave it at that.

Nothing else really to report as of now.

More to come...

Keep it up and thank you so much for keeping us posted

[Guest Melisa]

Yes, thankyou so much for keeping us posted. I love to hear about it especially since I expect to begin the same thing myself very sortly. It's great to hear how it's going

Nothing else to report?

That sounds like a lot right there. Thanks for doing so. I'm really interested in the effects on anger and temper. I'm not a big yeller, but I have carried a lot of anger for many years, and it doesn't take much to fire it off. It may be easy to blame T for that and I'm more than willing to do so, and certainly hormone replacement therapy may not be the most effective anger management control system but it sounds like it might work for me. Maybe it's a talking point to add to the "talk to the doctors" list when I begin the process, hopefully by spring. That long off??? Arrrgggh!

LOL...

YEP! Gin, ya got nothing to report.....

Sweetheart...you have lots to report! The physical things are wonderful, but the peace and calming things are the core of what makes you a woman..

Goodbye to the rage, the anger...

There's a lot going on there and it's happening to you...

Yea, sure, we all want a decent set of breasts and soft skin out of all of this, but what matters the most is your peace of mind...

Keep it up, Girlfriend!
