Firstly I want to say Hi again. I used to be a member but cant seem to login after all this time. I used to be called tammygirl or tammygirluk or something like that. Its been a long time.
to cut a long story short i came out to my family ,had quiet a struggle but they are more accepting now. Iv been living full time for several months.
its been over a year ,about a year and a half since I first went to my gp here in the uk, Iv only just got my appointment through at the GIC and I been told it could take another year or so before hormones and I finding it hard to wait that long.
I got in a financial mess and I was going to go private before I got in debt. Iv chosen to self medicate on 1mg of estradiol/sandrena from inhousepharmacy. I have two months worth so far with another 2 on the way. Also plan on seeing my gp and see if he is willing to do blood tests.
I guess my concern are with things like ,dvt ,osteoporosis but it doesnt put me off of taking hormones. The crazy part is if I wanted to get the money to go private ,I could sell everything I own "camera ,laptop, phone etc" and be in the position to go private and a big part of me is toying with that idea.
I am in no way in a big hurry ,there are things dragging me down ,like waking up every day with an erection, the aggression, and other things. Seeing the Sandrena here every day is a big temptation. I want to start tomorrow.
Iv had these feelings that I am a girl since an early age , am now in my late 20,s.
