I went for my second appointment at the Fenway in Boston and began on hrt. Took my first spiro and estrogen pills ever. I'm 42. I'm happy. I'm blessed. Thank you all for your support. I'll be updating.

Congratulations! Enjoy the ride

Im so happy for you!

While waiting for your second appointment, did you have doubts about starting HRT? That is the stage I am in at the moment... my first was 2 days ago and my second is 5+weeks away... and as excited as I was, Im having doubts now and wondering how "normal" that is.

Congrats girl!!

I personally did not. After my first appointment the doctor told me to schedule my follow up in 2-4 weeks. I went to the receptionist and said, I need an appointment in two weeks." I have been counting the days until this past Thursday. My situation may be quite different than yours though. I am 42 already divorced, in a loving relationship now with a supper supportive partner. I took those two weeks to come out to my children (13 & 18, both girls) and my ex wife (she knew, duh). My point is, while it would have been lovely to start younger I think I would have had many doubts, but when I took some time to honestly reflect on my life, my goodness, the signs were all there. I was a girl from birth. I believe that. This is day 3 of the hormones and while obviously there are no visible effect yet the biggest change for me was feeling more comfortable in my own skin. Before if I went out dressed as myself I was so worried about how others were receiving me because I didn't feel good about myself. I guess now, even though I look exactly the same I suddenly have no worries about running out to the store dressed without wig and with no make up because it doesn't matter any more what others think...I know I am finally becoming the girl I should have always been. I guess it just feels validating, like I'm legit and not just a boy in drag. I am a legit woman and that feeling began on day one of hormones. Good luck. Be true to yourself.

Congratulations on starting HRT.  It is always so nice to read about people making positive progress.

Thanks Amber...it has already helped me emotionally by just knowing where this will take me, finally. I know how slow the changes happen, but the fact is they are and will be happening from now on and that gives me tremendous joy and peace of mind.
