This guy. Right here. ME! 

Yay! Now we'll tell you you the truth: ear hair. Yup, you should have it in a matter of hours! First change, every time.  Just kidding, I'm happy for you! Keep us posted. Hugs, Devlyn

Awesome!

Nope, its the nose hair, painful little buggers that they are.  Gratz Ben.

I remember when I got the script I went STRAIGHT to the pharmacy, almost at a run and picked up my little vial of liquid gold!  I'll bet you're flying high right now .

Can you fly or deflect bullets yet?  What color underwear am I wearing now?

I did go straight to the pharmacy, but they had to order the needles so I won't get it til tomorrow.  Then I'll be admiring my new precious.

Thanks everyone!

Excellent. Will you be self-injecting? That had me sweating a bit the first couple of times, but especially the first time.

I'm going to try, hopefully I'll have the guts to self-inject so that I can take turns with my fiancee. I've heard that it's better to have an injection buddy even if you self-inject so that you have more sites to switch between.

 Ugh. So, even though  my employer's parent company (who also happens to be my insurer) just made a big announcement about how they support the trans community and cover transition, when I go the pharmacy they tell me "injectables" are not covered. So I had to pay $147 out of pocket for what is supposed to be the CHEAP form of HRT. And now I have to figure out how to file an appeal. Anyone else had to deal with this?

If you can, try an online pharmacy such as Strohecker's (which doesn't ship to some states). Costco is also cheap. I use a Priority pharmacy here in town, and it's much cheaper than what you paid--my local pharmacy was asking about $200 and didn't even have it on hand. So I said, "No, thank you" and went elsewhere.

I have never had to appeal an insurance coverage issue, though.
