Just started

[Jennifer_Lynn]

Hi,

Well I just started HRT just over two weeks ago. As with most its starting out low and slow with the meds. Nothing to report other than a little pain and swelling of the breasts. I am starting to feel better about the dysphoria. I am 47 years old so I am not expecting any miracles. I was blessed with a full head of hair that still grows like a weed. My body hair has always been thin. Its has been getting difficult to hide who I am. I have told my parents and my only sibling. She does not want to here anything about it. Maybe one day when shes old and lonely she will come back. Its her problem not mine.
I'm really glad to see so many young ones transitioning young. It was something when I was there age that was only a dream for me. I was sent to doctors when I was young and told them I was a girl inside. Two different doctors in fact. Both ignored me. I'm not sure, but in retrospect they probably did me a favor.

Hey Isabella, just starting out myself (next week!), and I'm 48, and envious of your full head of hair, but I rejoice in you having it. I bailed out of trying to transition in my 20's and am glad I waited until now - mostly because I wasn't ready then. Good luck, us - I look forward to hearing how you're getting along.
