Resuming HRT, better late than never.

Resuming HRT.

I have no idea where all the years went however I'm now age 60. I've always know that one day I would finally make the complete change. I was on HRT so many times early in life and almost made the full time change however there was always some reason I had to stop, delay, etc........

I'm in good physical shape, 5' 9", medium build, passable to the public, confident as a woman, proud to be a woman if only at heart for now.....

Thanks to all friends for support. Our group of people have big hearts & I'm very glad to me a member.

It's time to take better care of my body & face. Perhaps some plastic surgery but mostly just relax now & allow HRT to slowly return to making nice changes.

I've been on/off HRT a few times in my life. At 56 I am on it again. The biggest benefit I got has always been the calming. Low dose for several months always helped in a way to reset my brain. Also after a few months, as I often do, I do the "And NOW what?", freak out, though I would have loved to actually transition, it could not be.

Now at 56 after several years on HRT and almost 2 years of part-time I achieved my life long dream of being seen as and accepted as a woman. I know it almost could be. It may have come late. It may have come at a time when I was strong enough to face up to the challenges of facing up to my many inner demons. What is important is it came. Late perhaps, better than never.

Joanna,

Thank you. You look nice & a very pretty woman to me, with a nice smile.

For now I'm going to just try & relax, each day my HRT without any concern. Sometimes the more I thought about it the more I wanted an instant change & when that did not happen I gave up & stopped. This time hopefully I will just relax & not expect much. Maybe that will work better.

A hug for you,

Francis

FrancisAnn, one of our moderators is transitioning at 59-60.  It's Cindy James.

Dear Jamie,

Thank you. Good for her. I'm sure the moderators receive a workout with so much activity.

I right there with her with the years gone by. Not sure why but I feel great right now about moving forward & not worrying about why I did not follow thru so many times so long ago.

I'll try to connect with her to compare notes & make a new friend I hope.
