Title: Started HRT Today!!!
Post by: JenniR04 on February 10, 2015, 04:09:44 PM
I seen a new doctor this morning recommended for transgender patients, and also well versed in prescribing hormones. I had my therapist referral letter in hand recommending the start of hormone treatment. A little before 12:00pm (noon) central daylight time in the US, she sent my script to the pharmacy of my choice, and by 12:30 I had it picked up, and shortly thereafter I had swallowed my first t-blocker pill and applied my first weekly patch. I am elated and blessed for this day to have finally come and taking a huge milestone step in my journey.

Hugs and smiles to all for the encouragement and kind words shared!!!!  ;D  ;D

I'm vicariously giddy right now.  I think many of us who aren't quite there yet will feel the same.  I can't wait to write the same thing someday!  Congrats!
