Hormone Process May Begin Sooner Than Thought..

My therapist and I had talked about late Spring/early Summer as a good target range to begin HRT.

At my last appointment I mentioned to her that I could see myself potentially being ready by the end of next month.. she said that if she agrees that I'm ready by then, that we may very well move things up a little.

Pretty exciting just thinking about it, can't wait to get those magic pills.. whenever it ends up being.

I know how the excitement builds when you know the time is getting close. Then time seems to pass very slowly. I can't wait for the day Tiffany when you excitedly say you are born again. :)

Hi Tiffany,

I'm 5 days and 12 hours from my endo appointment - and time has slowed to a crawl! I just hope there's no surprises when I get there!

Anyway, it seems that you're more ready for HRT than I am - what's to wait for? I do hope you get there soon!

Love, Kat

Tiffany & Kat:

Ohhhh, laaaadiiieees!

The Slippery Slope? Ohhh, yes, yes, yes!!!

Helen Boyd coined the term in her book, but oh, how sweet it is!

Prepare for the Ride of a Lifetime, gallops! Remember, these things take time. You results may vary, but natal girls take several years to ride through pubescence. If your effects start out slowly, you may think they are not happening. Think again ... they will!

For me, Critical Mass has FINALLY happened. All I can say is: "OH ... MY ... GOD!"

:rolleyes: Lacey Lynne

Funny that Tiffany should allude to "those magic pills." I love it. Kat, remember when we were preteens and The Who came out with "Magic Bus?" For the phrase "Magic Bus" substitute "Magic Pills" and make up your own lyrics to that song. I have and hum it to myself every day when I take my HRT! Just stupid fun stuff! GOOD LUCK, GIRLS!

Good deal, Tiffany. :) I'm so glad that your progress is gaining headway.

You will be there before you know it. But you're not counting the days, are you? ;)

Oh, it's nothing to get too excited about really. All the pills do is allow you to be who you are supposed to have always been. No big thing.

(who are you kidding, Tasha?)

Seriously? It's like a busy day at Space Mountain at Disneyland. You wait in the longest friggin' line outside, going back and forth, back and forht. And then you get inside the building and you still have the longest friggin' line to go, but it's more exciting inside. And then you finally get on the train and the first part is slow, build the excitement builds as the train heads up and up. And finally? You're launched into the dark unknown, but what a rush!

And then when it's over? You go over to the Tiki Room because there's no line, they have Dole Whips and it's a hoot and a holler.

Enjoy the ride :D

xoxo

Hang in there. I waited much to long to start transition but once I started I knew it was right and never looked back. My gender therapist knew from the start that I had severe GID so after 3 and a half months she approved HRT. My endo Dr. ran the tests and after 4 months wonderful E flowed into my body and I have felt right ever since. I was having problems with spiro but an orci fixed that. Once you, your therapist an MD are sure do not wait. Your GID will not go away ever.

      Very, very true.  The number of murders committed by strangers in 2022 was only about 10 percent, per the FBI.   Carolyn Marie

      Good afternoon everyone,   I often wondered why @April Marie and @Willowgot up so early in spite of being retired. Now that I have my own puppy as a house pet I get it. We haven't had dogs since before my oldest granddaughter was born 22 years ago this September. I've always had working hunting dogs, and it was important they became acclimated to the current weather conditions. While the kennels had large outdoor runways, they also had pet passes into the somewhat temperature controlled garage. Yes, they were allowed in the house but only for short periods of time. Fast forward to present time, and I'm potty training a puppy as well as crate training. The first night Parker Von Schwinegruber, slept from 10:30 until 05:30. Last night we went to bed and 10:30 and he started making noise at 05:00. Since I don't want to test his ability to hold his business, we got up and went outside. He took care of business and we went back to sleep. This time he had a dental chew bar and I filled his water bowl. We cat napped until 08:00 and then got up for the day taking him immediately outside. He took care of business, and we played fetch and tug of war with his now favorite puffball. We came in and I put him back in the crate positioned so he could see me cook breakfast. Did he NO HE WENT TO SLEEP! We ate breakfast, did the dishes, and finished off the pot of coffee I brewed at 08:00. Once he woke up we stared at one another for about 20 minutes, because he seemed content to be in the crate. I got up and we worked on some obedience training as well as getting into and out of the crate with permission. We don't want him to crash the gate or any doors we will be going through.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I have not heard about it here in California, but then again we have events of various sorts going on very often, and not just in the June Pride Month.  We have Trans Fashion Week going on at a hotel complex over in West Los Angeles for the next three nights featuring shows by Trans fashion designers and modeled by Trans and NB people on the runways there.  I missed a chance for some free tickets and while I know and love many of the participants I do not want to pay for the tickets which will be in the $50 to $75 range, and which at those prices are nearly sold out.  (Not to mention $25 valet parking each night at the venue complex.).  There will be actual high end fashion buyers there though and it is an area where we are gaining some good footing.  I also admit that NONE of the fashions are going to be anything at all that would fit my basic personal style but look fine if not crazy on my much younger Trans siblings who will model them. (Ok everyone else keep on @Mirrabooka's topic.)

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/yolande-zauberman-documentary-the-belle-from-gaza-cannes-film-festival

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!    
    • Ivy
      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.
    • KymmieL
      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.
