Me too, the day Kennedy announced America was going to land a man on the moon.

I've got around 300 hours of electrolysis completed over the last 3 years and I'm still not done

Congrats on starting HRT.
I am on HRT for quite a while already and it still feels like magic. Each patch is one sticker of joy.
I love my lady stickers. I love the changes they brought and are bringing. I am married to my Estradiol patches, lol :-P

I wanted to share with everyone that I now have my first appointment with an endocrinologist - March 21. After 5 months of gender therapy, while discovering a new and wonderful (to me anyway!) person hiding inside of me, my referral letter was accepted and I'm on my way. I say it's been a long road, because I've lived decades not really knowing this person existed. My gender/identity was always a twisted mess, but that's now sorted out and well understood. I still maintain that my first clue came October 31st, 1963, when I wore a dress for Halloween. At 7 I knew something, and part of me never forgot it.

Next up - hair removal

I have been getting the pellets inserted every 3 months plus i take progesterone daily.  I am very happy with the results
the pellets are estrogen and testosyerone

I'm off to the dentist in an hour to get my lower lip frozen, so I can have another electrolysis session on it.  I'm definitely getting tired of it, but it has to be done.

Even though this is quite unpleasant to visualize, I can see the benefit. I'm sure you don't feel a thing! I once had several shots in the roof of my mouth that made my nose numb. Not fun.
I hope, Kathy Lauren, you're close to getting all those pesky hairs removed. I'm envious

Well, I am about a year in, and I understand it's a 2 or 3-year process.  Some folks do it faster, but I can't handle more than an hour a week.

The dental freezing works beautifully.  I don't feel a thing.  Unlike elsewhere on my face and neck, where Emla or 5% Lidocaine don't do more than take the edge off the pain.
