3 years ago my life was not blessed and going down fast. I'm on the correct path now and I do see now how I have been blessed with a lot. It is still early but hopefully my marriage will be one of those things.

Dear Julie....
Wow, very good news indeed.
Regard your progress with HRT...
...here are some of my thoughts as it may relate to the fact that you just hit your 18 month anniversary of HRT.
As has been stated over and over here on the Forums... and by me in many of my comments on various posts, HRT will work uniquely on your unique body.
What you read about other transitioning members experiences with HRT most likely will not be identical to your own experiences.
Some will experience more significant changes more quickly and then some will experience less significant changes more slowly.... it is all up to your genes and how your body reacts to the HRT. Your doctor has been undoubtedly looking at your frequent blood test results during your journey to determine if any alterations in the HRT regimen are needed.
The adage that you have probably already heard regarding HRT and how it may work for various individuals is "YMMV" meaning that Your Mileage May Vary.
PATIENCE is definitely required.... usually not much happens very quickly with HRT... but changes will happen. Do some reading of other transitioners posts and look many of the posted HRT timelines and the before and after pictures. .... they can give you a rough idea of what you MIGHT expect.
Without a doubt this can be very "EXCITING and SCARY all at the same time." Continue to hang on for an amazing ride. Some of my best and most appreciated body changes happened at the start of year #2 so for you there could be much more to come your way.
We are here to rejoice with you in the good times and to support you in the not so good times.
One more time.... PATIENCE is required. The attitude of many people today is "I want it all and I want it now" ... that will not apply to HRT.
Hugs and well wishes... we will be looking for your updates as you feel free to post them.
