Well, no two ways about it, it's definitely not my imagination at this point. My breasts are extremely sore. Only just over two weeks in, and it has been building steadily for days along with itchiness. So that was way faster than expected. And I love it because stuff is happening.

We have liftoff!!

That's great Cali.  I still tear up with the coming out stories.  Glad your daughter is understanding and loves you.

Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.

Well, I have been excited and anxious regarding the beginning of HRT tomorrow.  And as I have come to grips with who I am, I have worn femine clothes around the apartment.  Femine as in jeans and tank top and earrings. 

My daughter who I share the place with has always been at work or off doing something and she has been one of my concerns on coming out.  I had married her mom when she was 4 or 5 (so long ago she'll be 23 in March) and after her mom passed away in 09' I became her legal guardian and continued to raise her and oh what fun that was.  However, she has become a very intelligent and compassionate woman.

This said, I was talking to the VA on the phone in my attire when she unexpectedly came home.  I rushed to get away to get the earrings off and to reduce what she saw.

However, she comes up and says is there something you want to tell me?  I was in total panic mode.  Then she says, I have been noticing stuff around the house that isn't mine and asks are you becoming Bruce Jenner referrring to Caitlyn and I said, no a better version, myself.  I asked if it bothered her and she said no, as long as you are happy.

I can only imagine how this would have felt had I already started HRT because I'm almost all wound up with tears as I type this.

Cali
Yay,  for you and your wonderful daughter! X

Ellie, totally missed your buds post.  It's a great feeling.  Whenever I bump into something, or wear a heavy shirt, I feel awesome.  You will to.

Cali - Reading you post brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes! Congrats in starting HRT and coming out to your daughter. You are fortunate to have a daughter who is accepting. Enjoy the ride on HRT with its ups and downs. I know that for me, starting HRT was both exciting and a little scary as I did not know what to expect. All I knew was that it was an important step in becoming who I always knew I was. Look forward to hear more from you as you continue your journey along your path! Hugs

Back to work today from vacation. It made me really happy to reflect on how wonderful the time with family was. I celebrated a birthday while at home. After dinner, my mom brought out a pink cake with one candle on it because it was my first birthday as a girl. Needless to say, that made me cry buckets. Another highlight that keeps making me smile is that I attended a New Year's Eve party with my parents and their friends, and I received some very lovely compliments on my appearance and how well my transition is progressing. I have known most of the attendees for my whole life, so it was really special to have loving and supportive interactions with them. Thanks to all of my Susan's family for helping me decide to be myself! Wishing you all the best life has to offer in 2018!

Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

Ellie - YAY!! My first real pain came from the shower and having the water hit my nipples directly. I'd been sore for a week or so before hand, but that really stung (and made me smile like a goofball)!

Cali - That's wonderful news all around! Your daughter is awesome! Don't worry, many of us are tearing up for you!

Patti - That's great! I'd be crying buckets too....   :icon_birthday:

Becca - Congratulations! I wish laser had been all I needed, but too much gray already.

Michelle - WOOHOO!!! :icon_dance: HOUSE PARTY AT MICHELLE'S!!!!  :icon_dance:

I let my doctor know that I was going to try and get my name legally changed sometime in March. I asked her what I would need to do for her to be comfortable filling out a gender change form. She said to send her a reminder note at that time and she would provide the certification! At first I cried happy tears, now I am shaking...it is frightening and awesome at the same time!

I was working with a co-worker that I have not worked with since may and she asked me if I had any surgeries on my face. She did not realize it was me. I did not think I changed that much. She said I looked better as female

I've been so excited about my re-birth day today that I just couldn't sleep.  Kept waking up and looking at the clock.  Finally just got out of bed at 4am.  Kind of reminds me as a kid when we were going to go on a trip the next day and would be so excited that I couldn't sleep then.  Wow, that hasn't happened to me in ages.

I also noticed my ticker is at zero so I get to say Houston, we have lift-off :)

Thank you Patti!

I'll probably take a nap once I've visited the doctor's and obtained the prescriptions.  Right now I'm so wound up between excitement and anxiety that it's almost funny.
