Good on ya, Dee... or should I say good in ya ;)
It's funny how that works... I felt sooo much better about an hour after my first dose. Then came the emotional roller coaster, then came (not Mal Reynold's ship) serenity...
My next endo visit is in two days. He does the blood work there so it's one stop shopping, all fully covered by OHIP. No palpating, he pretty much leaves that up to my family doc, but he does interview me concerning pain or anything unusual that might indicate a problem.

I am thinking about starting HRT and I found this thread very enlightening. I would love to hear other peoples story and experiences.

Yesterday, 2.5 weeks in I had my first really stressful day since starting. We have a new landlord and they're renovating everything and raising the rents 50% or more. We can't afford it. Sweety's panicking over that and simply isn't adjusting to me even though I'm going as slow as I possibly can. Then I had my annual review and it wasn't as good as I hoped. I dealt with all of that better than I would have pre-HRT.

Today, though, I'm perceverating over Sweety and the situation and feeling distracted and weepy. Not the way to be at work. Thank goodness my coworkers all know! I'd hate to be going through this with them thinking I'm a man and going WTF. I'm also thankful I see my therapist tomorrow.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.
