It's five days to go and I'll be on hormones!! I'm happy, nervous, excited at the same time.. How was your first day on hormones? How did you feel? Is it a good memory? :-*

Congrats - I certainly remember getting my first batch. Think of it as a five hundred step process though, day one is step one, day two is step two... not much will happen in the first twenty or so steps, maybe some nipple sensitivity and soreness. Depending on how your endo prescribes and administers the HRT (usually the first month or two are only a starting dose to make sure your body can cope) things really won't kick off until step 50 to 60. That's not meant to be discouraging though - you can't get to step 50 without taking the first step, second step... It's a journey and the HRT helps take you there one day at a time. :D

Congratulations.
I remember the 1st day. I was nervous. Was I doing the right thing? What if I develop breasts super fast and I can not handle it. What will people think?
Well I was going to take the pills in the pharmacy, then the parking garage then in my bedroom. I put the pills away and thought is this what I want? I went and got the pills and took them. I was really satisfied knowing I finally took control of something that had controlled me.

I'm jealous, I start my T blockers on Tuesday, but my doc waits a bit before E (normally another two informed consent visits). Congrats, it's exciting indeed :D
