4 Days until HRT and I'm nervous and lost...

She also tells me that I should not only look at transgender supermodels but at those who don't look perfect and look like a joke which are the vast majority

Judging by your picture (I assume that's you), you don't have anything to worry about in that respect.  You appear to be quite pretty.

I'm not going to chicken out. NFW! Going on HRT sounds like a huge step but I can stop any time if I think it's the wrong way - which I'm sure it's not ;-). It's one big advantage of us MTF's compared to FTM,  the non-reversible effects don't occur immediately and since I already have kids, I don't have to worry about that, too plus I don't believe I'm going to want those boobs gone....

3 more days.... tic tac... Can't wait...

love u all - you're awesome!

  Hi Jessica,

   You said "Going on HRT sounds like a huge step but I can stop any time if I think it's the wrong way - which I'm sure it's not ;-). It's one big advantage of us MTF's compared to FTM,  the non-reversible effects don't occur immediately "  And yes it is true. I said almost those exact words to myself when I started HRT. I felt almost exactly as you did.  That part about "the non-reversible effects don't occur immediately" is true but you should know it can happen pretty fast. I am past that point at less than 3 months. YMMV
   On the other hand I am in full agreement with your "I don't believe I'm going to want those boobs gone.... " Mine are here to stay. That point of "non-reversible" has come and gone for me (baring surgery" and I have no regrets. I really really like those bumps growing on my chest.

Go forth and become that chrysalis and emerge as the beautiful butterfly you want to be.

  Hugs,
    Jeanette
