6 Months on HRT


BrandiBri

Recommended Posts

March 19 marks the 6 month anniversary of being on HRT and I couldn't be happier! The girls are growing, but not as fast as I Would like. Hope the boob fairy is listening! I tried on a skirt that I bought back in June or July that was so tight in the waist that I literally took five minutes to zip it up. This morning I had no trouble at all. I can't see it yet, but the migration down south has begun. WooHoo!!! It's getting better every day as I am just living as I am and not worrying as much about what others think of me.

Awesome! Congrats! I wish I had paid closer attention to my timeline, I stopped for a month or so a couple times out of guilt, but I am pretty sure I have been on steady for a good 8 months or more now... I am also impatient, but I notice little changes about once a month, I wish my flat butt would fill in, but there seems to be a distinct migration in the middle and hip zone. I am really looking forward to January 1st 2019, there ought to be something to talk about by then! I plan on sitting in the electrolgists chair a lot this year, and schedualing my orchi as soon as I can get the referral! Once 2019 rolls around I plan to get serious about top surgery and maybe even vocal feminization surgery (as long as it is safe).

Squishy hugs,

Jae

Good for you! I can't afford all that so I'll just have to go with what I've got. My facial hair is not that dense so once I figure out the makeup, I think I'll be able to pass most of the time. If not, oh well!!!!

I would have to say, you have it right, "oh well". I have found that after I decided that, I am who I am and everyone else can just deal with it. After I started thinking like that, I found that nobody paid any attention to me. So the makeup thing, I went to the local mall andwent to the  Dior counter. The wonderful woman did my makeup and a few weeks later she did half my face and I did the other half. I learned so much from that process. 

I hope this helps.

That's great advice. I will have to do that. I have been watching different tutorials online as well. Thanks for your input.

 

Hugs,

I have been dying to work up the courage to go to a local place called ‘Carla’s social club’ they have a professional makeup artist and a private place to hang out en femme all day! It will definitely be a while for me (gotta ditch the beard) but I am planning on begging the wife to take me some day!

squishy hugs,

Jae

      I was really lucky when I gave up smoking. I just decided one morning that I just didn't want to smoke anymore. That was back in 1996. The silly thing was, I still had a couple of packets left I and used them up! After that I only 'borrowed' less than a handful in the months after that and I haven't missed them since.

      Have I reached the tipping point?

      Maddee, you have a million friends.

      Our Maltese daughter-in-law makes a very mean Bolognese sauce, which we combine with spiral pasta. We pulled some leftovers out of the freezer for tonight's meal.   Tomorrow night will be chicken Kiev, with potato segments baked in the same dish, accompanied with boiled peas and broccolini.

      I suspect some of these people are not primarily LGBTQ+ but primarily get their kicks by publicly shocking other people.  They take advantage of the parade and think they can get away with it year after year, and sometimes do.  Not just the parade, but sometimes other events that provide cover for them to act this way. They do a great deal of damage to perceptions by the public and by the legislators against us.

      I used to smoke many years ago.  Now it makes me sick on my stomach which I consider a plus.

      I use a electric kettle and a French press.   I am not a fan of Starbucks.  I sometimes go to a local coffeeshop, but am satisfied with your basic coffee and a scone.

      Many "red" or "blue" states are not monolithic.  NC splits something like 49-51.  Actually, about 1/3 Rep, 1/3 Dem, and 1/3 nonaffiliated.     Since the legislature makes the districts, they favor the Rep to a 1 vote super majority.  Our Governor is Dem, and Dems can win statewide elections.   Of course you'd never know that with what is coming out of the statehouse lately. My point is that the "shifting" is not really shifting, it only reflects the actual population of the state.   When I was growing up I used to hear it said that "changing her mind was a woman's prerogative."  I embrace that.  I am fine with changing my mind when I want to.  Things change, sometimes we need to change as well.  I don't consider that as "unstable" - just not dead yet.

      Good morning everyone,   I’ve been working on a few projects and my internet screen time has been very low. Today is Primary Election Day for Indian voters. I will be voting later, but the most important thing I’m looking forward to is the reduction of political advertising. Let’s get back to regular daytime advertising which reminds me of the need for hearing aids, Medicare choices, and comfortable catheters. Heaven forbid I would need an accident injury lawyer to get me the big check. Only daytime TV can take a 30 minute show from the 1980s and make it into an hour long series. I really don’t watch that much TV because I prefer to listen to music while I’m in the shop or doing yard work.    The coffee is good, the morning songbirds are loud as they forage for their hatches.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
