I got my first estrogen implants today. The endo numbed the area with an injection, then made a small incision and put two pellets in. He used strips (no stitches) to close it back up.

When we looked at my blood results, the levels were excellent. 1200nmol E and 0.4 nmol T.

I hope they stay about the same after switching to implants, because I am really comfortable with the rate of changes.

My endo is such a nice person, I think I'll miss not seeing him every 6 weeks going forward...

Nice, congratulations Claire

I'm seeing him next week myself. No implants on the horizon, but I am aiming to start spiro!

I'm sure happy I do not live in Oxford, Alabama. Up to 6 months in jail if caught by a pee pee cop. We need to all speak up..........speak up loud to try & stop this crap in the USA, "home of the free" yea right. Really pissed, even members of our own group are afraid to let us post things about this problem without being censored.....

Got to go to a panel discussion on Transgender issues last night.  The panel was made up of individuals from the I Am Cait and Transparent television shows as well as some other transgender individuals.  Speaking from the show I Am Cait were: Candis Cayne, Chandi Moore, Zackary Drucker (who is also a producer on Transparent), Ella Giselle and Drian Juarez.  From the show Transparent were: Drucker, Trace Lysette and Van Barnes.  Also speaking on the panel were Ashlee Marie Preston and Aydlin Olson-Kennedy.

There were a lot of students from Los Angeles City College as well as a number of transgender individuals present for the session.  It was an amazing group of people to have together at one place and it was very inspiring for the transgender people present and educational for everyone. 

The panelists were very nice and hung around after the presentation to talk with and pose for pictures with audience members.  I feel so blessed to be living where I do and to have access to such remarkable individuals.       

Had a checkup today ... I was happy that my T levels were "undetectable" and my E-levels were up at 125 pg/ml, which is finally right where the doc. wanted them.  Last visit the E was too low, before it was too high .. Now it's "goldilocks".  Having HRT monitored regularly via lab-tests and adjustments to the prescription(s) is important.

So many of my friends have faded into the mist along with my family but today, somebody I worked with over a decade back, found out about my change and that I had moved near where he lived.  He reached out to me in very supportive way and wanted to catch up on things.  We met for lunch and had a grand old time.  I just have to say that it was really nice for somebody I knew before transition to be so positive and friendly. 

I'm sure happy to enjoy men. I think a trip down to a Florida beach would be in order soon, maybe drop in a night club or two. I've always attracted men like flies almost. Oh me I must put off some scent that I'm hot or something even without perfume. Maybe I can find a nice unmarried man for a nice little fling. That would be so nice.

Have fun and be safe, Frannie Annie!

I had my first electrolysis appointment yesterday!  I can feel that the hair is gone, and that makes me happy. Many, many hours to go - 1 down. hahahahaha!

Came out to scuba dive shop manager where i used to do casual work guiding customers. She was pleased i was happier and wants me back working as a dive master for them. Also had lunch with dive club friends which was lovely.

Thanks. I will. Today is my birthday & I deserve a little summer fling soon. I'm lucky really I look very nice & I've always enjoyed being with a strong man as his woman. It would sure be nice if my GRS were complete & my body had healed up so I could completely enjoy a man. Lucky me really to look nice & feel good about myself.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks.

Today was a very nice birthday. The ladies in my local town are so nice to me when I'm thrift store shopping. "You look nice today hun", "nice to see you sweetie" And I picked up some nice things very inexpensive. Life is good. My nipples sure are itching tonight, maybe those girls are happy also.

It's a beatiful day in London today. It's awesomely sunny, blue sky. The birds are singing.

I hate it when spring comes and I spend a night listening to music and it's 5am and Bam! the night is over. In summer it's even worse because 4am.

But, just like being trans, once you accept it... it's such a beautiful morning today and I love spring even if it means shorter music nights.

Cool, Fresas. I love my birds too. I live way out in the country & such nice birds........

One of my favourite games got an update and it is a 3 day holiday weekend so I'm checking it out!

It also happens to be surprisingly warm and sunny today, thinking of taking a walk.

Life is going well for me. I had a nice birthday, my nails are growing back out nicely, sticking with my Atkins way of eating, facial hair is almost gone, another electro session this wednesday, my body & face are looking so much nicer, more & more local people are calling me mam or sweetie when I'm out & about just dressed in shorts & a blouse. Soon to meet my new endo doc & maybe she can switch me to pellets which will be nice. No new men lately but I'm sure looking forward to a nice new relationship with a man, I just love to be with a strong well endowed man. Happy dance for me girl friends.

Three things:

1) A new server in the cafeteria called me 'Ma'am' which gave me a great feeling.

2 and 3) Bought two new pairs of shoes A nice pair of suede boots and a pair of sandals.

Thursday I'm shopping with some colleagues for office-appropriate clothes. Looking forward to it!

I get to see my electrolysis lady friend today. We have such a good time together & my face is looking better & better. Life is good. I'm so happy that my body & face are looking better to have more self esteem. I so enjoy being as beautiful a woman as possible. Have a great day girl friends!!!!

It's sure nice to have a friend that I met from this site. She had her GRS some 20 years ago & has been happily married for the past 7-8 years. We have a lot in common since I'm also a hetrosexual woman & would also love to find Mr. Right to settle down with one day...Life is going OK I guess, each day is a little better......
