I have my first Endo appointment this afternoon at 2!  Hooray!!!   :laugh: :laugh: ;D ;D :D :D <insert dancing jig emoticon/>

I have the HRT letter from my therapist (first obtained Nov 30 last year), my GID diagnosis from CAMH ( just received last week), and the results from the initial blood work.  I am HOPING he will write an initial scrip today!  I will discuss options with him (Suprefact vs. Spiro, pills vs. patch).  I'm almost giddy - it hardly seems possible the day has arrived!  I have waited SO patiently and SO long.  Now it's MY turn!  Yay!!

YAY!
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Thanks, girls.  Oh, and Melody... you've reminded me, I want to take pictures of various views of me before starting!  And I hadn't thought about recording that first dose, THAT will be something!  Thanks!  Oh, I am SO excited!  I just hope he will write me up something today, I hope I'm not jumping the gun emotionally...

Woohoo!!!!!

   It's an amazing ride, Colleen.... enjoy every moment of it. After about two months of HRT, I was hit with the overwhelming realization that I was doing the right thing. I hope it's as wonderful for you.

<hugs>

Well, you asked... First dose of E (progesterone has to wait until 2 hours after meal, E take with food, Suprefact won't be in until tomorrow...):

Soon the E will make its way into your brain and then ...
Awesome!

Dunno, it says "Prometrium" on the label. 

Virginia Marie, THANK you for the early birthday wishes!  (blush)...

As I understand, Prometrium is micronized P- I take the generic version of Prometrium called Microgest
