YAY, Alice!!!!

remember - nothing is permanent for the first couple three months so you'll have time to change your mind if things don't feel right.  But if they do feel right, well, then you're on your way!!

hugs & smiles

Thanks Tink,

I went back to my local couseller today and all that came out is how relieved I was it is going to start. Something good must be happening.

And we're glad if any of us helped you to reach this milestone, Alice.  You have lots of friends here.

I hope you journal and capture these exciting, scary, fulfilling times.

I should be depressed out this but all I feel is relief. In Particular at my therapy session yesterday I just came out and said I am going on HRT next month and just acted as though I was releived.

I have done more thinking on it today thinking of all the challenges ahead but again the only thing left to do is the blood work and to  make the appointments to see the endo in Sydney.

The challenges I have faced in accepting Alice have been so difficult it is like now I have accepted her HRT is the next thing - no big deal. The hurt I have felt this last 18 months does not seam to be there unless I try and make it be there.

I just decided - I will try and make my appointments for the 21st January 2007. HRT will come after that date  ;D.

Congrats Alice. Since starting hormones myself over 3.5 months ago I've felt a sense of calmness (from knowing I'm finally going to be right) that has made day to day life much easier to deal with. I hope that in starting hormones you find the same calmness.
