I had my first endo a couple of weeks ago and she decided to start me on hormones so she could "bend" the details for my insurance company. They won't cover blood work for gender therapy but they will for medication monitoring. >:-) I know so far most of what I feel is psychological but I feel a thousand times better already. Although she put me on a transdermal patch so I have had a lil trouble getting it to stick and not fall off in the shower. Tegaderm patches are a miracle! Otherwise things are doing well enough so far. Aside from a minor dysphoria dream I had last night. One I am sure a lot have had... starting transition before puberty beat me with the masculine stick... oh well. That is all for now!

Congrats!
Congratulations honey!!!
Im really pleased for u!
Xx
Congratz!
congrats
Today is my third day of HRT. I know I've not been on them long enough to have any real effects, but just having started hormones has made me feel so much better. I'm actually a lot less dysphoric about my body because I know that soon it will start gradually changing. I hate my masculine features a lot, but the fact that they are there bothers me less because I'm finally doing something about it.
Emotionally and psychologically I feel like in riding a very strong high. My good vibes feel almost indestructible. I've always been a very positive person, and now I feel a thousand times more positive and optimistic, which I didn't think possible. And I know none of this is from my Spiro and E, yet. But it's still awesome and I'm going to milk it for what it's worth.
I wish you luck in your journey. In the coming months and years you and I will see what these meds do to us, and I for one am extremely excited.
Yay! Congratulation Claire :D I hope you will get good results and enjoy the ride to becoming yourself <(^ - ^)>
Congratulations! I hope everything comes up roses for you!
Yay XD your dr. sounds nice, that is what my endo did, my dx is officially hormone imbalance not GID. It works though cuz for some reason my insurance has me as female already.

Here's another tip for you. When you get a mammogram, have it coded as "gynomastia."
Congratulations! :D
Please let us know how you get on.
Congrats Claire! I can only imagine the relief at finally starting hormone therapy. I've been champing at the bit for months and finally have my first endo appt tomorrow. I can hardly wait :D
Good for you! :)

Congrats! Welcome to the magical land of womanhood.
congrats.. may your journey to womanhood be a wonderful experience
I remember when I started hormones.. it felt wonderful to lady juice flowing through me.
Congratulations!
On my 3rd day I felt the same way. It's been over a week now. If your like me your mind has never been clearer. Again congratulations on beginning your transformation especially before puberty and the masculine ugly stick. It's what I should have done a long time ago, -it's my only regret. ;)
Oh no Allyda I think you misread. I am almost 30 so I long ago was beaten half to death by the masculine stick... haha. Oh well.
