Hai hai everyone!!

 

It's been a long time coming but I am finally ready to start HRT!!

 

My latest visit with my endo was kinda funny because she told me she wanted me to lose weight. I decided that day I would focus on a low carb diet and work my way into healthier carb lifestyle. For 3 weeks before this visit i was diligent and apparently I dropped 13 pounds! My doc came in and was like: "We must have made a mistake when we weighed you" lol. I went on to tell her i took her words to heart and started dieting and she was very impressed!

 

After going over labs and ordering a few more she told me I am all set for HRT!! I'll be starting  next week!! I'm happy, excited, a little anxious, but overall so ready!!

 

Gonna be cosplaying at a convention this weekend with a friend it'll be our first time cosplaying. We're excited and a little nervous but looking forward to it. Depending on how it goes i may post a few pics later!!

 

That's all for now, i'll see you around!!

Keep up the good work.  It may be more difficult once the estrogen is in your body.

Hai hai hai everyone!!

 

Just updating since it's been a little while. It has been a month since starting HRT and already getting favorable gains :3

 

At the suggestion of many of my Ciswoman friends, I now wear a sports bra since I am overly sensitive around that area; they were not joking about that. Those have been the most noticeable changes other than other areas that are going the opposite direction. My hips are even starting to grow a little, I only noticed it the other day while doing some yoga:  I bent over and I happened to look at my hips as I was going down, they are flaring out a bit further than usual!

 

I havent been doing any voice training but i frequently speak in what I consider my feminine or true voice and many people have noticed that I sound a little different even when I am at work, where I use my "male mask"

 

My therapist has noticed that my gestures are more feminine as opposed to how I was when i met her; it was part of my homework to work on that and she told me it paid off big time.

 

The year is almost up and I am stressed out beyond belief!! But it's not all bad: I have a few getaways planned in the next 3 weeks. I get to be the real me the whole time for all of those getaways so I am excited!

 

Unfortunately, I had to let my bf go; i like him and still consider him to be a good friend but taking care of him became work to me. At times i felt more like his Mother or Elder sister then his woman. His energy was bringing me down so I asked him if one day we could go back to being friends; the awnser to that question is still up in the air.

 

For anyone that does know what MAGfest is: WE'RE GOING!! AND WE GOT A ROOM AT THE GAYLORD!! I plan on being drunk at some point each day since driving wont be an issue. That aside, i have my whole crew with me, we're all excited to be going once more and looking forward to all the events and concerts. I will be doing my cosplay again, gonna try to tweak a few things so hopefully, more pictures  and better ones at that! We will be posting a podcast and my friend wants me to be the moderator!! Still not sure how well that will go but, gonna do my best!!

 

For those who don't know what MAGfest is:

https://super.magfest.org/

 

It is an awesome time even if trying to get a room is a major pain and needlessly complicated.

 

I dont think i have much more to say other than i Love all of you and your stories and posts help me out so much when i have a bad day or a hard time so please keep sharing with me!! I will keep sharing with you too, because i wanna be  to others what you all have been to me!! Have a Wonderful Holiday and I'll try to post again soon!! :3

Hello hello everyone!!

 

It's been a little while but I'm still doing fine!! My transition is moving on along and i am really starting to blossom :3

 

Recent labs from my Endo lead to some adjustments to the meds; I am so thankful to have an endo that's watching out for me. I am actually at my endo's right now; they are a little backed up so I'm in a lil queue.

 

Work is kinda crazy right now as many upper management have left and so openings are available. I have applied for one of them; they are done with interviews but are dragging their feet on the results :(

 

Yall!! I finally went out with my friends to that bar we love; it took forever for the stars to align but last weekend, they did and we went! I wanted to look extra cute so I threw on some heels; 3 inches nothing too crazy but i was getting complements all night long! We all had so much fun! Can't wait to go again!

 

I gave my blog some love with a few new posts and I aspire to add more posts more frequently, but i don't want to force it. I'm gonna do the best I can!!

 

If you haven't checked it out yet that address is:

 

iamyuuseria.blogspot.com

 

Check it out if you want to :3

 

Well she sounds like she is about ready so i am gonna end it here. I will try to post again soon!! Love you all, keep on being awesome :3

Hi Lady Ayu.

Happy for you to have an Endo watching out for you!

 

Some guys I know run a starship simulator room at Magfest. 

The whole fest sounds like a magic fun time.

Hello everyone, it has been years since I posted in this topic; there isn't a good excuse for it. I've had alot happen to me and  I just lost track of this forum then when I DID happen upon it I completely forgot my password. Well as you can, I managed to figure it out :3c

 

Sorry I fell out so hard I do have some updates but I'm currently at work so I'll keep it short kinda

 

I have been on HRT for going on 4 years and it has been a dream. I'm finally starting to feel "right" in my body if that makes sense. I still have a ways to go, but it's been good. I have also moved out of my old house in the country and moved to the cityside, where my job is. it's been quite the transition itself, just as needed and long overdue.

 

Since the time we spoke last, I've started a Youtube channel where I post Gameplay vid and streams!! i will share that in the appropriate topic channels soon; if you're interested stay tuned!! 

 

I feel like i am always complaining about work to yall and I wish I could say that has changed but well, here we are lol. I am still with the same Medical System joined about 4 years ago. I have since moved to a satellite clinic of it where my job concerns more of the revenue side; it started off great but well... Over time the lies, deceit, and corruption came out. i'm kinda miserable and looking for a new job.  

 

I have tons of new pics to share!! Will share a few when I get to my home comp!! 

 

Gonna keep posting here and participate in member activity!! Good to be back loves!! I hope everyone is still doing well!!

I'm new here, but I read back through this thread; what a lovely story. Work is what it is, but it sounds like you're thriving outside of it. I'll keep my eyes out for your updates! Have a lovely weekend!

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
