Thank you thank you

It wasn't easy moving out and especially leaving my family like I did but thank goodness I have a robust and fantastic support system and most thankful for my friend that is letting me stay with him until I can get a job/income. Also thanks to members here especially for the advice on dealing with parting from my parents it came very handy for the letter I wrote.

Yeah I still need to figure out how to go about getting a job/income so I don't go broke in the end of the year.

And for those in need of finding a place to get hrt on a budget I highly recommend Planned Parenthood I can't stress going to them enough at least the clinic I went to (In Nashville) was very friendly and they did the bloodwork there and they do it on first appointment and best part it cost under $100.

Oh, Emily, that's wonderful news.  I'm glad to hear you have support in place and have gotten out from the family and into some proper care.  Huge steps, and now that you are in motion I bet you'll be able to keep moving into a job/income and become self-supporting.

Congratulations!

Emily,
I am so happy that you are moving forward. It is great to hear. I miss chatting with you. Don't worry if the emotions get a little crazy for a while. It takes time to get used to it. You will be fine, I just know it.

Emily, this is incredible news girl, so happy for you!!!  As Laurie alluded to, now you can start staring at your chest every day wishing your boobs were growing or growing faster :)   I'm in the same boat right now.  I'm just waiting for a sign, anything......c'mon girls, give me something.

YAS, this is so awesome to read.  Although I haven't gotten to know you on here as others have, I am so so happy for you.  It's only been a little over two months for me, so the elation of the first day is still at the forefront of my mind.  What a time for you to be in :)

And on the boobage front, I haven't worked out in months, so my flabby chest gives the illusion of lil pups in the right tops. 

Release the hounds!!

It took about three weeks before I saw the beginnings of boobage.
