Finally started HRT put on my first patch just a little while ago. I have been working toward this for over two years, I wanted to lose weight first, lost about 190 pounds now weigh 198 which is less than I weighed in high school 40 years ago. Also wanted to transition socially I have been full time a little over a year now. My family and the people I work with have been supportive, they all have seen how the changes I have been going through have had a positive effect on me. Hope they are just supportive on this next part of my journey.
