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!

      Well said.    Although this so-called Project 2025 will not affect me directly in an immediate sense, it sends a signal to equivalent minded people and political parties around the world that it is okay to exclude minorities and indeed, to persecute them.   In my humble opinion, the far-right politicians know damn well that there is a very large cohort of less-than-intelligent people out there who are not capable of critical thinking and believe every skerrick of dog-whistling, fearmongering, "they're-out-there-to-get-you" rhetoric. Pander to their rural and village attitudes and you're on a winner!    Correcting them with logic and science won't work; they just double down and get louder with their petulance on full display.

      Just waking up so I'm in my pajamas - blue/white madras shorts, a navy blue t-shirt and my sleep bra with sleep-rated breast forms.   Thank you @Susan R for telling us about your mastectomy bra and forms fitting experience before your BA surgery and how sleeping in the bra/forms helped with the dysphoria.    First, hearing about your courage to get fitted gave me the confidence and courage to go out in public.   And, second, finding sleep mastectomy bras and sleep-rated breast forms (I found a set on eBay for a good price) has been a tremendous boost to my feeling comfortable in my pajamas and nightgowns and tamping down my dysphoria and dysmorphia.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be? Mine would be music especially classic rock era.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.
