Title: Started hormones today
Post by: alliegh on September 19, 2014, 07:09:44 PM
I started hormones today and pretty excited.My therapist and I discussed this last week and knew she was right.It went great although I was nervous.I was shaking a little bit although I don't like needles,was injected in.Did not look and did feel it a little bit.I decided on the injection and my next session is Thursday,done every 7 days.Felt some changes already and it is looking good so far.I am not regretting this at all and glad my therapist was right about this.

That's great! Don't expect overnight miracles but over time you should start to notice changes...

It's hard to predict what will happen and when as we're all different. I'm on a low dose and my breasts are already developing!

Congratulations Alliegh!

I didn't notice any real mental changes from the Hormones for a little while, but now I couldn't imagine my life without them. I am kinda masochistic and wonder what it would be like if I stopped for a week... but then I get distracted by some pretty shoes and the thought goes away.
