One Year HRT Anniversary!!


Ellora

Recommended Posts

Time sure flies! I started my Lady Meds March 12, 2019. A sense of relief swam over me that day, and have been feeling better and better each day. Yes, I have my ups and downs, but mostly ups. I dont think I am progressing as quickly as others, but I am very happy with my progress nonetheless. The progress I have now with my HRT regiment, has been made easier by having the Orchy last year. The Orchy One year anniversary will be June 6, 2020. =)! 

My breast are continuing to grow, slowly but they haven't stopped. They are tender, some days more than otherwise, but nothing painful, unless they are poked and or elbowed. My nipples are hard 99% of the time.My cheekbones have been getting a lot of nice attention. My body fat has been moving around. Ive gone from pushing a size 36 waist line, to a 32 inch waistline. 

  I am fairly even tempered now . testosterone used to get the best of me, and that is another reason why I am beyond happy where I am now.

Wonderful news Ellora! Time does go quick when you’re having fun.  Certainly a very big milestone for us all.  Were you like me after taking your first dose or two, “I wonder what it’s going to be like in a year from now?”  Then before you know it...you’re there.  I’m happy for you and your successes..

 

Congratulations,

Susan R?

Being at peace with myself has been one of the best parts of HRT for me as well.  

Congratulations on a year!

 

Hugs,

Thank you and Yes!! In the beginning I was monitoring everything, worried about the numbers, practically creating flowcharts. I’m still watching the numbers, but I’m not so bent on watching every detail. I have actually notice my body has had a little bit of growth spurt around the 1 year mark. Now I’m curious about the next 6 months to the 2 yr Mark. Thanks !!

I would not be anywhere close to as happy as I am now if I didn’t at least start my HRT, and even better when I got rid of the fuzzy dice. ? ? To feel, free. It’s the best. Thank you!

Thank you and thank you! I have to credit all the hard work was done by Snapchat. I still need to post a pic with real makeup on, someday. I can’t until I can wish you a happy anniversary! It will happen!

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.
    • Ivy
      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      Finding a few pictures from a trip to Thailand I went to 10 years ago.They were pictures taken with Katois aka ladyboys.It was cool to meet them and planning to go back next year.A couple of them saw I am transgender too.

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️
