Hello all, I am new here, I am going by Nat right now as I have not settled on my new name yet but have decided it will be Natalia or Natasha. Nat seems to suit me , I believe my pronouns are she/her, it feels the most correct in my head. I was assigned male at birth and it has been torture froma a very young age. My girlfriend of 10 years knew from the beginning about my feminine side and my crossdressing, she has always been accepting and loving about it. I recently came to the conclusion that I can't live male anymore. I had a very loving and sincere conversation with my girlfriend and she is as always loving and supporting. She did lovingly recommend that I get some mental help before beginning transition as I have struggled with both anxiety and depression alot lately, I have started therapy for the first time in my life and honestly between that and my new future I have to look forward to I am so happy for the first time in a long time! My dear girlfriend also recommended I find a support group but since there don't seem to be any in Trenton,SC or nearby, to the internet I turned and found transpules. I am looking for support and some friends outside of my gf I have very little support or friends for that matter.  I am so excited and have even had trouble sleeping lately because I am so anxious to begin hormones, it feels like a dream and keep finding myself worried I will suddenly wake up. I look forward to getting to know this place!

Welcome to TransPulseForums Nat,

 

 I agree with your girlfriend about you seeing a gender therapist, as you transition.  I hope you find as much helpful information here as I do, and there are some threads that are also entertaining. 
 

Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,

Welcome Nat! Glad you're here. Happy for you, especially that your girlfriend is so supportive. The beginning to accept & explore my femme brought a lot of emotions, being anxious and excited were definitely two of them. I hope you find the wonderful support, advice & acceptance here as I have.

 

Hugs!

Wow, my story is so similar! I can totally relate! I am new here as well. So similar, although I am married and my wife is not really on board. When I started hormones everything changed.  It was like my brain had wires all crossed up and they were unplugged and put back the right way! All the anxiaty, brain babble and static just seemed to slowly dissapate n fade away and I felt like me. I was comfortable in my own skin for the first time. Wishing you all the best going forward. I am looking for friendship and support and just people who get me, accept me, and dont judge me! Lots of love Marka

Welcome @Natnewgirl. It’s a pleasure to meet you and I’m glad you found us. You are among friends and supporters here. The same conclusion as you shared above has come to so many here, including yours truly. I fought it for a lifetime and finally realized it was futile to live as others thought I should just to make them happy.

 

I’m glad that you have your girlfriend as a close supporter and ally. That is such a bonus and will help you in times of need. As mentioned, counseling can really help too…especially if you’re honest with your therapist, do all the work and apply what you’ve learned to your life. It helped me work through many issues and ultimately I learned much about myself. During this early part of a journey, it can keep you in the right mindset, help you work through difficulties and open up new perspectives on so many things. It’s nice to see that you’re working toward living authentically. I wish you the very best on your continuing journey and I hope to read more about it as time moves forward.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R🌷

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
