Hello! my name is Nicole and I am only 2 months into my transition. I have used phyto-estrogens before going on HRT
but I don't include that as transitioning (well not anymore) because it just wasn't doing much for me. anyway I
remember when I was about 13 my Mom & sister put me in a dress & wig and did my make-up, when I looked in the mirror
It was the first sign of who I really was, and still to this day I remember vividly what I saw, it was ME a female
who just got out. Now I am 35 and I wish that on that day I had told my Mom how I felt, things might have been
different for me, instead I kept quiet and grew up as a petite man with regrets. Now after a year of deep thought
about what I really wanted, I decided I will not be happy unless I do something about becoming a woman or at least
try. 3 months ago I met with the staff at the Gender Identity Clinic of New England and after a physical & some
blood work I am receiving my meds. I feel different emotionally already and physically well my breast are sore so I
hope that is a good sign (my endo says that it is) something about tissues growing faster than fats, I don't know
when he gets technical I get stupified. I am fortunate to be petite for a male... Ht..5'8" Wt..130lb hips..30"
waist..28" rib cage..32" breasts..34.5" and my butt..33" so accenting my curves is my goal right now. then I will be
working on hair removal and FFS, before my graduation to post-op. Hopefully all will be comleted before I leave this
world, but for now I am happy that I am doing something about it. Any Advice from you lovely people would be well
listened to. I hope to get to know many of the people here, you are all so caring and helpful.
til next time tata....Nicole
