this morning was my first appointment with the endocrinologist. he asked me some questions about family history and did a general physical. since i had breakfast they couldn't run the lab work. (they didn't tell me to fast before i came in). they also didn't get my letter from my therapist. so within this next week i am going to go back in and bring them the letter and get my blood work done. he told me that he will "give me a buzz" after my results come back. if everything lines up then we are good to go.

I am not sure exactly when i will be getting T though. he told me to schedule a follow up appointment for three months from now and "i should have something going by then". but he didn't mention anything specifically about an appointment between now and then to get my prescription. so i guess we will figure that out when my results come back. so anywhere from three weeks to three months until i get it.

so basically i will be getting T very very soon and i cannot wait! i am so excited!! i plan on going by Erik for the first time at work tonight to see how it goes. i am in such a good mood right now!!

Erik :)

That is great Erik!

Best of luck with using your name tonight. Please be sure to let us know how it goes.

You'll have the T before you know it too

It can be frustrating when a block is put into something we thought was all lined up. But is sounds like everything is going forward. Let us know how it goes next week.

well i did the name change at work and it went very well! everyone was trying very hard to go by the new name. they all had a lot of questions and were very curious of all of it. i seem to have a lot of support so far. the next step is school!

Glad it went well Erik. The name issue was fairly non existent for me at work but it has taken some awhile to get used to the different name but they usually correct themselves.

Other than the comment of support from a couple of co-workers I have not had any questions.

      Hi @Amy Powell.  Nice to meet you and Welcome! I think the first thing you will find is that we are a very Diverse (and Accepting) group here on the Forum.  We all have different destinations, but I think you will comfort and encouragement of many shared experiences and struggles. I do hope you can find a trusted therapist, but I discovered finding 'Community' is very helpful too.  Looking forward to hearing more of your Journey AND your many hobbies   Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      This should be the mantra of the Trans community (and basically all of Humanity for that matter, regardless of Identity or differences). I am happy the conference organizers laid down the law to this Interloper.  People like that are basically just Unhappy people, regardless of their gender identity.  I hope she figures that out ...   And, I am sure she had no idea who she was messing with   Bravo for your Courage and Restraint, Sally~

      People don't understand that you simply don't even need to be on HRT to be trans. They are like doughnuts. they appear to be somewhat intelligent but in the middle it's full of air.

      I'm satisfied to stay here in the Old North State. I have this idea that NC, and SC, are really, like different.  Kinda dumb, I guess since I only live about 10 mi from the border.

      Ivy, that's probably excusable for someone who isn't trans; it could be simple ignorance.  But when it comes from within our own community, it is kind of shocking.    Hugs,   Sally

      Thankfully, Ashley she didn't return after that one time.  I have the conference organizers to thank for that, as they push inclusion and acceptance.  I like to think this particular person got the message about her views being bigoted.  Of course it's possible she took her message somewhere else, where she wasn't challenged.    Davie, you are too kind.  Hugs to you my friend.

      Mae, I would be happy to share the PowerPoint presentation I used with you or anyone anyone who think they could benefit from it.  Even though I presented at Keystone, the content is still mine.  Perhaps I could post the material here or make it a blog.  Interestingly, the conference organizers always pick a wide variety of topics to ensure there is something for everyone.  The workshop committee used my presentation (and others) to ensure the workshop didn't reflect only transition related topics.

      Panties Issues

      By Amy Powell · Posted

      I am curious if anyone else has had an issue wearing panties.  After awhile I find that my dangly's tend to get a bit sensitive after a few days of wearing them and I'll stop for a while so they don't get sore. This is so annoying, I want to wear panties more often. I have tried going up a size (which helps, but not alot). I've also seen a doctor, he said everything is well.  Any advice would be welcome

      Hello everyone.  My name is Tracey.  I'm extremely open minded.  I'll just say that.

      I have not been in a discussion group in years. Please bare with me.    I'm considering FFS Facial Feminization Surgery and breasts enlargement. I'm 58.   I am in Canada and planning to go to Montreal for the FFS.  I am 58 but didn't transition until I was 46. My idea for me and my body and mental health is to be and look more feminine.    I believe that the FFS and breast enlargement is what I need and want. Sure my age is a factor but not for my mental health but for the physical.  My health is not the greatest. But not bad either.    I have had my bottom surgery February 15th 2017.   I lost every one in my life from abandonment to death. Much more in between.  I am alone in life. My daily life consists of waking up playing my games then tv then bed.   I want to adopt 2 kitties. But if I'm to do this surgery I don't have a single person who can help. So this makes my life more difficult.  Please stop by to say hello. Tracey

      I’ll bet you didn’t know that South Carolina has at least one and sometimes more earthquakes every month!  And no fracking here.     No wind mills either.  But for some reason we make a lot of ethanol.  We grow more trees than most but it’s all for paper and pole use. Cash crops are still cotton and tobacco.  Used to be a big producer of rice now it’s more of a unique crop, Carolina gold.  Pecans and peanuts are big too.  Lots of fruits and vegetable farms.
