Title: Ermahgerd! Hermerns!

My GP finally received the confirmation from Daventry GIC to prescribe hormones for me. I'll be on leuprorelin injections to stop production of T and estradiol valerate tablets. Shame I have to wait until after the weekend for the pharmacy to get them in, but I've waited this long so a few more days don't matter too much. Looks like I'll be on HRT in time for my 46th birthday on Wednesday. :)

Yay for you! [emoji1380]. I'm coming up on the end of week 3 and feel great. Also, just having turned 46 in December, I'm excited for things to come.
As has been told to me, I'll tell you-
Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Hi Shiratori,
Congrats on the beginning of HRT. Please fasten your seat belt and keel arms and legs inside the car. The ride is about to begin! Enjoy the ride.
Happy Birthday too on Wednesday.
Hugs,
Laurie

Well, so far I feel exactly the same. I'm assuming the oestrogen is just counteracting the initial testosterone surge of the leuproreline injection. Hopefully I'll notice something once that's over. :-\

Six weeks in and I'm starting to see things happening. The hair on my arms and hands is starting to look a little sparse compared to how it used to be, and the ouchies have started.

I love my GP! :D
So I'm on Leuproreline as a T-blocker and it was time to switch from monthly to 3-monthly injections and she put 3 of them on the prescription. That's 9 months of T-blockers for a single £8.60 prescription charge. ;D
She also does my oestrogen 3 months' worth at a time. What an absolute star! ;D
