....and so it begins 

Just like Meghan said, you will not forget where you were when you started your medical transition.  Me, I slapped on a patch in the docs office, didnt even wait until i got home!

Good Luck, stay in touch.

Almost a separate thread. Sitting in my car outside of the Pharmacy where I had got my scripts filled, straight drive from the Dr's surgery! It was 2.28pm on a Tuesday afternoon.

I've noticed I kind of smell funny, or maybe am more aware of my smell that had been there all along.

My body smell was one of the first things I noticed, or rather my ex noticed when I first started HRT. I had been on for about a week and I had been doing an hour of cardio (I was making sure to keep of extra pounds!) so I was all sweaty (clean sweat, I promise!) and I stopped by to say hi to her and when I hugged her she got this really funny look on her face. I was like "OMG! What's wrong!" and she looked kinda sad and said "you smell different" and I was like "different bad? different how?" and she was like "you smell...it's like musty, like girlish or something, I don't know, it's just different." Then she started crying and we talked about how the changes will start happening and I'll probably start to look a little different after a while.

Amazing changes, Ag, here they come!

Congratulations on getting started with HRT! If you feel happy while your taking it, thats a pretty sure sign it was the right thing for you to do. I agree with the others on documenting the exact changes hrt does. It will be cool to look back on it and will help future women see what changes happen and when.
