Celebrating 1st month on HRT

[Guest Vicky]

I have just realized, it is already 1 month today since I started taking the medications! I feel so controversial about myself, being in the in-between state...At work, I look more female than male, while at home, I look more male than female. well, even that is a little bit too much for my wife already, and we have major conflicts including my sister and my parents too. Very stressful.

One of my  male co-worker generously prepared a tea for me and emphasized that he gives to me in a pink cup, suspicious, isn't it?

My breast started to soar a little bit, and it always look different. Some days, I saw some development, the other day seems like nothing happened at all. But it feels fuller, and I start to look awesome (no, I am not vain at all   ). If somehow I could take care of my voice change, the stage 2-3-kinda hair loss, and finally re-start electrolysis, I think I will pass easily. Well, these are all big issues to overcome though...anybody knows where to download or view REAL voice lesson videos, that actually helpful, and hopefully free?

But anyways: I Celebrate 1 Month!

Hi VickyIt is good to hear from someone in a similar place to myself I have been on blockers for about 11/2 months and on e for 2 weeksfor me it is the emotions that are most of a challenge sometimes I cry at a drop of a hat But I feel so much better than I have in 20 years I love it

Yes I also found that my emotions were a bit raw and easily provoked when I started but eventually they do even out to a manageable level.

Keep going - the in-between state can be pretty difficult.   It will smooth out eventually.  Hopefully you can begin to focus on relationships with your wife, sister, and family.

Yes, relationship issues are a struggle for me....as probably for most of us. It seems to me that nobody cares, nobody wants to listen. Only one point of view is valid: and thats not mine...why there is no understanding, and no acceptance? It is very hard....

For my cell phone I downloaded Eva Pitch version 4.  Everyone on the Transgender Facebook groups is telling me it's the cat's meow.  I haven't really played with it yet.  I also found that my insurance company clumps voice training in with physical therapy (I think it was like physical, speech, and 1 other kind).  So it's $15 co-pay.  I found a speech therapist that does it online so I can just skype video with her.  She takes Blue Cross Blue Shield.   I was told she was the best in NY by the ladies at my monthly Trans Support Group.  Here is her info (she is Trans too which it makes that much better):
