Title: Starting HRT in 3 months!
Post by: Adrianah on March 17, 2018, 05:48:53 PM
Hi! I just joined the forums, so sorry if I post this in the wrong area!
Anyway, I am turning 15 in July and my Doctor said I can start taking estrogen in 3 months (Just before my birthday). I am super excited! I have been on puberty blockers (Lupron) for a year now. Is there anything I should know before I start HRT? What should I expect? As I already said, I am super excited.

Hi, I'm so glad I found this. I am 50 and I finally had to admit to myself that I was not the mask that I've always worn. I am hoping to make friends and get advice as I begin a new leg of my journey to finally be me. Thank you.
