Six Years Ago---

It was actually Jan. 15, 2013 that GCS happened, but it was obvious on this date back then I had done something, oh boy had I done something. OUCH.  No regrets at all and some memories are still in our pages here.  You know the starting dates in the Forum here, so go have fun.  I shared my experience willingly so that anyone else could get an idea of what is ahead.  Six years, I didn't believe it could have happened back then but it did, and I am ME ME ME and real.  Hold onto hope and what you need will be yours.

Congratulations Vicky on 6 years post op, it's no small mountain to climb to get there. You had some of the best care on the planet for such things. I recall meeting up with you in late 2012, just weeks before you left for your journey north, as I recall your date got bumped up in Marcie's queue. Your help with certain paper work things was greatly appreciated back then. I hope life is treating you well.

CONGRATULATIONS! Happy times. :)

 

I can't say all the times are happy, but they are easier to face knowing I am truly ME.  I needed to do it as I did but others do not have to do it to be themselves.

Congrats, Vicki!!  You have truly blossomed into one of the women on here whom I respect and look up to when looking for sound advice.  May you have many more happy anniversaries.

Hi Vicky, that's awesome.  And yeah, not all times may be happy ones, or easy ones, but to be alive and living as who you know yourself to really be has to make up for the humps and bumps in the end.  ?

      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.
