Had my first appointment today and got my first shot as well as my script! SUPER EXCITED
Downside... I believe I'm going to lose my mother over this afterall..
Congrats on starting T!!!
Sorry to hear about your mom not being accepting :( Maybe she'll change once she sees you're happy with this path.
Congrats! My first appointment is in a few days. They gave you the first shot without checking your T levels first?
Sorry to hear about your mom.
That they did, I didn't expect that at all. I was bummed going into my appointment because I knew I wasn't getting a shot, because I hadn't had my blood work done or anything. Well, after the nurse took my vitals, the doc came in asked me a few questions and talked to me about my transition. He asked if I had any questions and I was like "yeah, how many appointments until I can actually get my script?" and he was like "Oh, we're doing that today! The nurse will be in with your shot, and I'll get your prescription. Then you can go get your blood taken with her. "
I was then forced into shock and everything else is a bit fuzzy except getting the shot in the hip, then vaguely getting blood work done(to whichI only remember because it's impossible to hit my veins) They're supposed to call me next week, but I don't have to go back in for 6 weeks he said.
And yeah, I'm hoping she comes around. My mom means the world to me.. but she doesn't see it like that. Says I'm going against God, and she's too ignorant in science(hate to say it) to understand that it's not actually a choice. The only choice is to transition, and I would rather her hate me than me hate myself. I have to live with myself for the rest of my life, and I barely even see her. I mean I love her, and I want her approval, but if she can't accept me for who I am then I guess that's on her..
Ps - Thanks guys, and good luck, Sharky!
Wow, that's quick. Congratulations!
It must be tough to have your mother respond like that, but I have heard of people coming around once they become more comfortable with the change. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Also, I don't think that Susan's allows people to discuss hormone doses, so you might want to edit your post.
congrats! sorry bout your mom hopefully when she sees that this is who you really are shell come around.
Congrats on your first T shot. It's such an exciting time. Your Mum may come around, people can surprise you. Just try and stay positive about everything.
