Faith's Progress

[Faith]

I didn't mean to make it sound like it was all about me. We spent quite a while on girl talk, things that she's going through. It got rather specific 

Tia Anne, we are waiting ... impatiently  . I have the hours for an extra day off. I just need to be sure whether to take Friday or the following Monday ... or both.

Natalie, sorry I was in a mood when I posted that. I was also in one during that photo. That's how I look when depression and self-pity hit.

no worries.

Another good thing that we discussed. I brought up the depression caused by my 'guy look'. She just looked at me and said, "You don't look like a guy, you look like a girl".....

You know something my dear Faith, she's is right..

Yes!  Kids have a way of being brutally honest.  I'd take this a good sign you're heading in the right direction.

Dear Faith:
Have a good day at work....   I generally start my work day quite early also... 
It is not quite 6:30am here and I am at my office having my first coffee from the next door coffee shop... 
....trying to get a head start on my tax work today for the early filers.

Thanks for sharing and posting.

Hugs and more hugs,
Danielle

that's good, people would start to fret if Danielle lost her typing voice.

@Faith
Dear Faith:
According to ALL of my friends you are quite correct.   
My speaking voice is also going all the time,
I tend to be the most talkative person in any group.

Hugs,
Danielle

Cute jacket but define cold.  Wouldn't even make it to the car in that here today.

I didn't know it was a contest. I was cold, I wore a new jacket. I liked my jacket and wanted to show it off so I posted a photo.


I made it to PP today for my injection training. Didn't feel a thing. Didn't hurt at all ... except my finger where I managed to stab it

I talked to them about my progesterone and subsequent mood swings. Yep, normal. I knew that. I was told that progesterone was considered optional so I could stop or find a schedule that worked to ease them ...... any suggestions?

Many try cycling progesterone by taking it the first or last ten days each month. You might run that by your provider.

And I like the top, jacket and the lady in them. It's a good picture Faith. Possibly the most feminine one of you I have seen yet.


Hugs,

thank you Miss Laurie, on all counts. I'd read the 10 day on here somewhere. I may try it. I need to do something, I've been too moody.

  I haven't tried it myself. I take mine everyday and it does not seem to affect my moods. You may want to run it by you doc or endo. If I remember right cycling it could make you even more moody as it might mimic pms.

Today was a good day. It started by putting on a white sweater top and combining it with a red mini skirt. I then wore it to deliver coffee to Lori (she was around the corner sitting with our granddaughter. It made for a great start to the day.

That set of clothes didn't last long, it was freakin' cold today. I changed into jeans. Then there was a coffee drop on the top - into the wash that went and a different top went on. Covered that up with my new wind breaker jacket to go for a dog walk.

Most of the day was spent tending a small fire we started to burn out a tree trunk. Very windy, had to watch it close. While Lori and the little ones were off on the go-carts the import granddaughter (14) came out. Nothing special until I started talking a little about me. That opened the door. I let her know that I'm open to all questions, reserving the right to not answer due to her age.

We really had a good talk and covered a lot of topics. I think I helped ease her a bit. Specifically she asked how I knew, whether I planned on an operation or not, and I talked about my mood swings and depression. She kind of got a kick out of the fact that I'm about her age in puberty changes

Another good thing that we discussed. I brought up the depression caused by my 'guy look'. She just looked at me and said, "You don't look like a guy, you look like a girl". To top that, we hosted her 14th birthday a week or so back and she brought to gal friends with her. She said that both of them thought that I was a girl until she introduced me and told them about me.

There's more, too much to type. It can be summed up the same way that I started ... Today was a good day.

She is right.  You do look like a girl.  Just no two ways about it!  Glad you had a good day!!!

Kudos on passing the injection ed!  I locked up after the drawing and changing from 16 Gauge to 25.  The nurse had to tell me I needed to actually inject myself.  SIGH....  Well at least I didn't stab my finger 

I'm no expert but I read a lot and from what I've been able to cram into my silly head progesterone is something that might have more baggage then its worth.  A couple doctor types can find no good reason for it but?   I dunno.   You can see so many different opinions depending on where you look and how much medical lit you can digest.  I've tried to limit what I read to things published in the last couple of years.  If you go back even a bit more you get the idea that Horse Hormones are the only route to go.

I waffle on the progesterone pro/con crap. Not ready to call it quits on it. I've read that by not cycling the moodiness issues decline over time. I dunno. I haven't really been on it that long. I do know my breasts firmed up after starting it, coincidence? dunno

horse hormones? No thanks. I'm bad enough now, I don't need a whiney whinny. A wee willy is ok though
