Title: Starting HRT Today!!
Post by: starting_anew on November 17, 2015, 11:44:08 AM
So after living in perpetual fear from January 2015, and then learning to love myself and even finding pride in being trans, I'm starting estrogen today :).  I've been on finasteride for three months, spiro for a month, and have gone through two laser hair removal sessions on my face.  Emotionally, I feel readier than ever.  I've known all my life that I was a woman, but always thought physically becoming one would just be a pipe dream - little did I know I'd muster up the courage to actually be who I am.  I had accepted the prospect of going through life dead and numb... and now I'm so excited about my future.

Anyway, this post is pointless, but I just wanted to share my excitement :)

I'm attaching some fun pics - the first was taken July 2015 (pre-laser, pre-finasteride, pre-spiro), and the other last week :)... please wish me luck!!

Congrats on your E day! That's so exciting to know that the correct hormones are finally flowing through your body. Because you have already been on anti-androgens for a bit, you probably already have a running start for getting E to feminize your body! Enjoy!

This is truly the start of an unimaginable life. Never before have you understood the true reality of dreams coming true. They really do, and this is only the start. The next challenge is to dream bigger.same principles apply.

Thank you!!  I should have added that I'm so thankful to all the beautiful trans women (and men) who helped me accept myself and get to this point.
