My visit today with my endocrinologist

[Nora Kayte]

So today was the third time having pellets implanted. My doctor does such a great job. No pain and super minimal scaring, if any. I love her. She cares so much. Always helping me out whether it's transition related or not. She just really cares. And that is hard to find in anyone, let alone a doctor. So, I asked her to look at my girls today and she said I have picked the correct size bra and I am a SOLID B cup!! And they are somewhere between a tanner 3 and 4. She said. I never really researched the tanner scale so I am assuming that is good? Yay!

Also she told me I can start tapering off the spiro.
She said that the combination of the pellets and Progesterone will keep my T levels down without having to take the spiro. She said the T might spike for a couple of days then my hormones will level out to where they are when I'm optimal. My Doctor said eliminating the spiro will help with my excessive sweat and urinating. Thank god for that. So if you need a great Doctor and are in Southern California hit me up and I'll send you her info. She also does some skin, eyelash, laser removal and other beauty treatments.

And

So for the first time today I wore a bra out in public. Super scared! But after putting it on my wife did not say anything or act like she even noticed so that was a good feeling to start. I did not notice anybody looking or giving me funny looks at the gas station. So after leaving Chevron I felt even better. So i will try to leave it on all day and see how it goes. I am sure it will be like camisoles are now to me. Can't go without and just feels natural to have it on.

Congratulations Norma Lynne! The best part of a bra is taking it off... unless you found "the one" and then it's like a warm hug all day long.

Thank you Miss Harley Quinn!! (I love that name!! It's so cool. Lol)

So on the way home I totally forced myself out of my comfort zone. The wife wanted Taco Bell so I stopped and went inside instead of the drive thru. And the she wants some tea so I go the the shell gas station. And of course they don't have it so I had to go next door to Chevron. Both super busy!! OMG!! But nobody really cares or noticed. Or whatever. lol it's a big step for me. Hopefully I can keep it up. Feeling good!!! Yay

And taking it off even as comfortable as these are always feels good. You would not think of super cute with Hanes, but they are. I love this one I'm wearing.

I think we have all had those terrifying "limit pushing" moments. Have no fear... it passes with time. I have been testing the limits of my comfort zone for years and years. One inch at a time... I came out to a couple friends and the tossed me into the deep end, so to speak. Everything is her, she, girl, or Victoria/Tori. 24/7... 365, make up or no, female clothes or no, beard doesnt matter and go as far as to call me out in public for going near a men's room when I hadn't really mustered the courage/energy to brave the ladies room that day... those 2 ladies pushed me to the max of anyone's comfort zone. Sink or swim... well, after about 4 or 5 months I don't even realize how I look. I'm just me and daily life is just natural without a second thought.

So keep it up and relax. It'll all start to become "Your Life" rather than "life as a woman or trans-woman". You're doing GREAT!

Congrats Norma, what a great day all around.  Brave going to all those places, I commend you!  I love the idea of testing and pushing the limits of my comfort zone.  I think I'll keep a diary of that.

Thanks for the Dr referral.  I'll see her in a little over a week.

LOL  I never, EVER, imagined there would be a day would come, when like all my girlfriends, I would say how good it felt taking off my bra.

Even more surprising was one day while shopping for shoes thinking how funny it felt walking in flats.

That is one thing I will be forever jealous about is the ability to wear heels. It is amazing I can still walk with all the damage to my ankles. I have absolutely no cartilage in my left ankle   So heels are out of the question. And being 6-2 the platforms I have and love would put me at about 6-6. And don't say shoes don't matter. Take away some of the women's heals on this forum and there would be tears. Lol. I love shoes. Cute shoes. And all I get is tennis shoes and sandals. Maybe low heels. But when I see a super cute pair of heals I know I can't wear. It hurts.
