Yatta! I just got my prescription filled and took my first pill about 20 minutes ago. I'm super happy and excited. :) I'm on campus right now and just want to start doing the happy dance. Haha. I never thought this would even be a financial possibility and here I am doing it. ;D

Thanks! I can't wait for the effects to become noticeable. I'm keeping a livejournal to track everything and will probably start taking pictures, too. I'm hoping I respond well to Spiro in terms of breast growth. I was on anti-depressants when I was a teenager and I'm fairly certain one of drugs they had me on lowered my testosterone or dually functioned as an anti-androgen. While I was on it, I was basically impotent and developed a little breast tissue. I also gained a lot of weight from the anti-depressants and then lost about 125lbs when I went off them. As a result, in addition to the breast tissue, I have a little bit of saggy skin in the breast area, as well as elsewhere. I'm hoping that any amount of breast tissue development that occurs now from Spiro will be "in addition to" what I gained in the past; if that makes sense. And, of course, I can't wait for all the other effects, too.

Congrats :icon_chick:
I remember the excitement that ran through me last year when I learned that I'd be put on HRT...
Also a bit of fear... But then I had them in my hot lil' hand... Read the lit. and popped my first dose in my mouth
Now coming up on my one year anniversary and it is still an exciting adventure
