At my last appointment on Feb 26th my nurse (fellow transman) told me he was going to talk to my doctor to see about getting me started on T at my next appointment (4/4) and finally, after weeks of anticipation, I recieved the glorious phone call informing me that my perscription will be ready for me to pick up before my appointment and then after my appointment I will sit down with him so he can show my finacee and I how to inject me. We are completely pumped. It will be a slightly bittersweet day because the appointment that I have happens to be for the GY exam... ew. But at least the day will end with T in my system! I honestly didn't expect to be writting this for a few more months because I've only met with my therapist once but my doc and nurse are trying to change that procedure at this clinic and apparently I'm one of the lucky ones. However, this is after an extensive conversation with both my doctor and my nurse where they both agreed that I was knowlegable on the subject and knew exactly what I was getting into. Plus I had already waited 7 or so months before even persuing HRT just to make sure my fiancee and I were both mentally prepared for the changes. And I plan on continuing with my therapist because you can never have too much support, in my opinion. Now I just have to come out to my family... ugh. I don't know why I'm so cautious/nervous to tell them, I think they will be hesitantly accepting but accepting nonetheless. Although, sometimes they surprise me and not always in a good way. I'm not good with opening up to them and I think it's because I'm hate disappointing them. My finacee said to me today "Well look on the sort of bright side, if they disown you then we don't have to go there for Christmas and can instead go on a nice honeymoon" that made me laugh.
