20 minutes with my Fenway Health primary care physician. She asked me to tell her my story. I did, and she sent me for blood work. In a few days she's calling with my starting dosages. :)
Hugs, Devlyn
Congrats girl ❤️
Oh wow, that's awesome! Congrats, and let the fun begin. :D

Thanks, everybody! :)
I have to admit, I expected be given a future appointment to start the informed consent process today, but I guess they took one look at this old broad and decided to get me on HRT before I reached my expiration date! :laugh:

I can relate to that. :) Congrats Devlyn. Is this the first time you've ever been on HRT?
Paige :)
I'm so happy for you Devlyn. Even on limited dose the mental relief is profound. I honestly believe the way I was headed I would not be here today without the HRT. Today I am happy, my wife is happy, my kids are happy. I hope you find happiness too.

HRT, yes...estrogen, no. I've been on herbals for a few years, got nice breast growth and other effects out of them but killed off Mr Weenie. Doc's gonna figure out my levels and get things working again downstairs.
Hugs, Devlyn
Great news to wake up too!
Great bet you can't wait
Congratulations, welcome to the dark side.
Congratulations and welcome to an E ticket ride! Just remember, boobs usually do not appear until after the second or third dose!

Aw shucks! I was hoping to start at coffee break and surprise everyone with a pair at lunchtime!
Boobs are already there, this will finish them up nicely, I hope.

Congratulations, Devlyn!
Wow, that's fantastic! Congrats!

Devlyn Marie,
So happy for you, I am now four and a half months into e and spiro and finally know what everyone has expressed on this site. You are about to have that same experience, wishing you all the best in this new journey and hugs from a fellow veteran.

Yea for you Devlyn! Isn't Fenway just the best! It took me a couple of visits but they assured me from the start that it would happen. I feel *SO* good being on HRT (and only 6 weeks) and having caregivers that care. Congratulations! Maybe we'll run into each other there some day.
Congrats Dev!
Hey, Devlyn, I hope you'll report back on how this affects your state of mind. I'm just being curious, nosy really, but I always wonder how HRT might affect a non-binary persons thinking. I'm strongly binary MtF (naw, really?), and I know it pretty much reaffirmed my own gender identity.
I imagine there is a whole continuum of possible responses to HRT, and I know a few others have said that they saw no effects on their state of mind. I'm just curious has to how your path might develop from here.
I think it is absolutely wonderful that we can all get to the basic care we feel we should have now. It's a pretty amazing change over the past couple decades.
Congratulations again!

That's great Dev, I'll be curious to hear how you find mental state is affected by this vs your experience with herbals.
Oh wow Dev, so happy for you. I'm going on 8 months and, more than anything, the mental aspects are wonderful.
Congrats, Devlyn. Best of luck. I hope to join the club soon.
Thanks everyone! :)
I'm interested in the mental part too. I ramped up the herbals slowly until I was on a full dose. I didn't experience any initial mental changes, but when I stopped using them last summer my mood tanked, among other effects. I quickly replenished my supply and went back on them.
Still waiting on lab results and word from the doctor, but my file has been updated to show I'm being treated for a hormone disorder! :)
Hugs, Devlyn
I'm happy for you Devlyn. I'm hoping to see what mental effects it has also. I get to see the endo in two weeks.
Congrats!
