Hey Everybody,

I have spent so long anguishing over all of the little problems that addded up to no HRT and I have talked to so many that I decided to just post this here!

I have an appointment to have the bloodwork done on April 20th and it is within my meeger budget!

My therapist told me about a fairly close by GBLT center that does inexpensive testing and has a Doctor who voluteers there one day a week to prescribe and monitor horomones!

So I have my first appointment all set up!!!

Yeah!

I am happy, happy, happy, happy :):D:lol: - wait that's three weeks from now! :(:banghead:

But it is happening! :rolleyes::):D:lol:

That's about it.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Sally,

Congratulations!! I know that three weeks seems like an eternity but it will come soon enough. Hopefully, maybe, I think.

(Looking at clock). Dang it. Still got two weeks, six days, twentythree hours and fiftynine minutes to go. Whoa! Don't time fly when you're having fun. :P

ME :)

CONGRATULATIONS!

I cannot begin to tell you how happy that makes me, Sally. If anyone deserves it, it's you. When I just read your post, it brought tears to my eyes.

Love ya!

Congrats Sally, i have read many of your posts and if anybody deserves to be on hrt you do. I had a little over a week to wait but the time flies when you know you are finally starting your journey. I think most have read my intro so actually starting officially was not as big a deal as it would have been, but it was a big deal none the less. They will probably put you on the patch like i am, if you have any problems let me know, i had a few but resolved them myself and with others help

**** HUGS ****

Well, it looks like MaryEllen got very busy running the site and forgot to remeind me that my appointment is tomorrow - like I could ever forget.

6PM Monday night I get my blood drawn (I think that do it at night because the bats refuse to work in the daytime) I'm not sure what happens then, if I get my perscription or if I have to go back to the doctor before I start, but I will know tomorrow night and I will let all of you know as soon as I get home!

Love ya all so much,

Sally

Sally.....

Sweetheart....no one is more deserving than you......you've waited long enough so step up to the plate, Hon...It's finally your turn.....

You spend so much of your time giving and caring for everyone else that you leave little time for yourself...

Well, now is the time for you! I wish that I could load everyone here up in a bus and we'd all wait in the parking lot for you when you went in!

We're all your biggest fans......The "Happy for Sally Club"!!!

So good for you, Honey...we're on pins and needles.......

Geez....now I'll be up all night!

We all love you......

Donna Jean (and everyone else!)

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      Glad to hear it. Abby

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      What a wonderful photo! You look gorgeous!!!
    • Justine76
      White crop top and capri jeans ;) Finaly tricked the face id on my phone, "that's not you" lol.

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer
    • April Marie
      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.
    • JenniferB
      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer
