As expected, Tricare rejected Androgel. Not because it's trans-related; they don't cover name brand lol. I scheduled my first shot and teaching for tomorrow at 10. I was told ahead if time that they'll cover that but not the topical cream from a vet friend whose spouse had a similar issue. Thought I'd try anyway. Figured it was worth a shot. ;)

Congrats on starting T! I know that you had top surgery. I would love to hear about your experience and hear how you are healing. I am sure others would too. If you are so inclined, please share your experience in this thread. It would be extra awesome if you would include a pic! Thanks!

Congrats! I really didn't want to take shots either, but with time I have gotten used to them. I hope that everything goes well :)

Aw, that's awesome ~
I just recently began taking estrogen like 3 weeks ago.
