Congrats on the hormones, it really is amazing when you get that first dose..

I remember my first dose, I am on injections. I was so excited, i never even felt the prick. I swear I could feel the hormones following into my body. I was on a high for a few days after that.

That sounds lovely! ^_^ I'm just taking oral E but still it's nice knowing the T will be gone sooon! ^_^

Thank you!!
It's like a magical thing almost! I know it isn't.. but you know what I mean! lol!

This really is just so surreal and amazing to me! I don't know how to explain it.. 5 years ago I wanted to transition and I just couldn't for a lot of reasons.. and now just 6 months ago I was freaking out about never being able to get hormones or even if I could transition.. well.. at least.. and it seems I'm doing ok!

Thanks to all of you beautiful souls! My physical family and friends.. this is like a miracle to me... darn.. tears.. I guess I am gonna be crying more!! lol! Which is funny because I already cry at the drop of a hat!

Congratulations Damara    When I started hormones I called them my freedom pills, finally I felt like I'd come home after being exiled to the wilderness my whole life.

That's a great way of putting it! I love the imagery.. very accurate.. now I feel that I'm in a beautiful place.. not a barren wasteland.

I call them my little life savers.... Changing my life for the better

Yeah they don't have a terrible flavour really! Also, my dr. said I could let them dissolve under my tongue even though they're not sublingual pills.. I've been doing that but wondered if anyone else does this..?

I do. Avoids the first liver pass.

Okay! I'm glad I'm not alone! It's weird though because it gets all "bleghy" under my tongue.. lol! I end up having to drink water with it anyway.. lol!

I found putting it at the back of my mouth still below the tongue works better. You must be taking the generic teva pills, which is also what I take. I've also had Estrofem which is another brand and doesn't crumble like the teva estradiol. However it's not a US drug so you have to buy it online (with valid prescription of course) and it won't be covered by insurance.

Yay! I just got them the other day too!  Seriously though, am I crazy?  Maybe it is all in my head but they really seem to make me feel a whole lot better.  As for sticking it under your tongue, will that really work?  I want results! lol.

It does. I do sublingual and my levels are good and my results are good too.

I was told by my doc that sublingual was easier on the liver and have read elsewhere that it is the best way to maximize the effects of the doseages. It has become a favorite part of my morning routine.
