I Think The Jumping Through Hoops Is Over

[Guest My_Genesis]

A least I hope so. I have an appointment with an endo on Thursday (actually the same one Pol goes to) and I've already got a letter from my gender therapist because he wrote one like a month ago for this other place I was gonna originally go to to start T but I got frustrated with them and felt they didn't know what they were doing. I have bloods from this place too so that may help. My gender therapist said he (the endo) probably will start me on T before I go back to school (mid-July) - he doesn't see a reason why he wouldn't. And he said he doesn't think I'll have to jump through any hoops. So I am keeping my fingers crossed that by the end of this month I will have T!

So early tomorrow morning is my endo appointment! (Only time you will EVER hear me look forward to a hot, humid, early morning LOL) and he is there Tuesdays, Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays so assuming I see him again Saturday or Tuesday, by sometime next week I may be getting T!

[Guest Elizabeth K]

Oh RJ - I hope so. It is so affirming when you realize that for the first time your brain and body will be on the right fuel. That fine gasoline powered YOU will be rid of the Kerosene and on high octane GASOLINE- finally!

BEST WISHES for you - hope hope hope you get that T!!!

Thanks Lizzy.

So I got 7 vials of blood drawn. lol. Don't mind cuz needles and I are cool haha. He basically is measuring my entire endocrine system I think. He realizes I have high T levels and thinks I may have PCOS. He wants me to go to a gyno who he refers a lot of ftm's to. Not so thrilled about the idea of that but at least it's a female one and not a male one cuz if I'm gonna go to that kind of a dr. I'd prefer a female doing that stuff And he said that with the bloods and a sonogram we'd be able to figure out whether I have PCOS. Also he is testing adrenal gland stuff cuz that's another possibility for high T levels. I go back to school July 12th and at first he said come back in about 3 wks but I told him about school so I'm seeing him again on the 8th - so 2 weeks from today, and he'll have blood results by then. I am hoping I can get an appt. with the gyno before then because then I have a better chance of getting on T sooner... otherwise, I have to come home from school at some point to see the gyno, then come home again to follow up with the endo. Because I am in school til August 20th then I am only home for a wk, and move in for the fall on the 27th. So I might as well get as much as I can worked out before returning to school, right? He said after I see the gyno we can set up a more "concrete strategy" of what we're going to do. I am fine with starting T right before school or even if I have to come home on a wkend from school to start (I told him this because he's available on some Saturdays) but I just wanna get things moving as best I can.

Oh, and my mom met the dr. and likes him. I said "Really? Even though he used male pronouns and my male name?" And she said "well it's gonna take a lot of getting used to." B/c I know when my GT used male pronouns and my male name with my parents they were really uncomfortable and didn't like it. So my mom seems to be doing a little better with it

Also the dr. wants to speak to my primary care dr. and my GT (I gave him my letter from my GT)

So yeah, just an update. Not hoops, just more stuff to get done in the direction of.
