Hi Robert!  Sounds like a plan, literally.

You're ahead of me, my first endocrinologist appointment is two days from now.  I am MTF.  Different direction but same goal, I wanna peep the best I can.

Hey Kendra! Good luck at your appointment! I was so nervous at my first one.

Thank you Robert!

I have no idea if being nervous at the first endocrinology appointment is common, glad you are on track.  I am so excited to start, not nervous at all.

The thing that made me very nervous recently was coming out to my parents, but I am very glad I did.

Oh yes. That is nerve wracking. Congrats!

Hi Rebo, and welcome!

You and I are on the same track, but you are just a tad ahead of me with T, I'll be three weeks on T tomorrow and it's been a great feeling.  Top surgery is likely to happen for me next year sometime. I'll get a referral to a surgeon next time I see my GP and that's when the planning for surgery will start.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks Dan! I am still looking at surgeons. Good luck planning.

Thanks. (Hugs) I try to be more open but I have crazy anxiety when posting in forums. One of the reasons I made an account is to try to work through that.

  Good motivation Robert.

   Given time you will see that you are really welcome here, that you belong here, and that you will fit right in here with the rest of us. Then you will be able to post the things you need to get out and get the help and support you crave.
   And hey! You'll probably make many friends here along the way. I have.

Hugs,

Hi Robert, welcome!  I know how you feel! Even with some or total anonymity I used to always be so anxious about posting anything anywhere (still am, a bit  :laugh:). I still take waaaay too long to actually type a post, I fret over every sentence.

Yes. The writing and rewriting and then finally just hitting the button. At least I know there's hope lol.

Welcome Robert.

I was also nervous about posting. But then I realized, if someone recognizes me, they eventually would have anyway. It's like not hard to recognize changes in my appearence and behavior.
