And I feel you Christine, my life is insane right now, I was just checking on real quick to make sure I wasn't being neglectful of someone in need of support.... I am glad things are going so well for us all right now.....

Hi girls,
Jenny for a second,till i fully looked, i thought someone new had joined in; you look great.

Yeah I'm definitely looking forward to the spiro. it's progress as you all mentioned. the plus side it will get rid of a lot of hair. but I was really looking forward to the feminizing effects of estrogen, especially on my face. Christine, I hope you have more luck then I did. I know the waiting is so enough to drive you crazy. I can't complain that much things have been moving along pretty good.

So, I identify myself as Sarah and consider myself a women but I'm struggling with the references for aunts, uncles grand parants etc. meaning going from being a nephew or grandson to niece and grand daughter and identifying myself as such. I took my grandma out today to do some running around and in one place the women helping her referred to me as "this person." which isn't perfect but at least she didn't refer to me with a masculine word. I also didn't look that passable. damn lack of estrogen.

Thanks Tasha for checking in on us. You all take care.

Thanks Sarah. That picture is definitely my favorite now. My sister told my other sister about me (with my permission). So far it's not going too well. She said she needs to process the news. Not sure if I will get support from her. I was doubtful to begin with. She tends to take stuff as if it is all about her but of course this is me. Not sure if she will come around or not. We will see. I am doing this with or without her support. There has been tension in our family in the past and this is just another example. Trying not to let it get me down. I love Jenny and she is my destiny. Talk to you later. I will keep you posted.

Looking good Jenny and hope the sis comes around. By the time we tell people we've already sorted ourselves out so only fair we give others as much time as they need. Just let them know you are fine with them being shocked or needing time to process and that you'll be there when they are ready.

Hi girls, time for some updates.  We had our baby last Thursday. He is healthy and happy and so is my wife.  I had to spend a few days in full guy mode, but nothing unbearable.  I just spoke with my family doctor about scheduling the labs my endo will need.  I am going out of network and paying out of pocket for his services.  The last thing I need is to get saddled with a huge lab bill on top of everything else.  She agreed and ordered them for me.  Things are finally moving forward there.

The waiting hasn't been too terrible.  I have had plenty to keep me busy.  The pregnancy and such, my kids, and work.  Now I am starting to feel the wait.  July 12 will be here soon enough.

On the job front I am definitely a candidate to move up.  My boss has already spoken with the district manager about me.  Now I have to start considering my options carefully about when and how to come out.  Like everything else I will play it by ear and hopefully things will turn out.

Anyway Tata for now.

Great news!!! Always nice to hear of things going so well :)

Nice to hear from you Amber. Congratulations on the baby boy and it's great that things are moving along for hormones.

Good news on the job front too. All in all it sounds like things are going pretty good for you. That's great to hear.

I got my certificate of change of name today but I will have to wait until next week to start changing things. I need a letter to change my gender and my psychologist is off until next week. She didn't want to give it to me too soon and have them say that the letter was too old. Anyways a few more days isn't going to kill me. I was actually surprised it got it already figured it would be a little longer but was hoping it would be in the next month. So I'm not complaining.

Day two on spiro and I've had a headache off and on all day. it's kind of annoying. On the doctors advice I've only taken a half dose (1 tablet) so far but I''m thinking of taking the full dose tomorrow. One in the morning and one at night.  take care girls.

Sarah, did you start spiro on the same dY I did?  I technically started yesterday. Maybe we are just. Day off

Amber, I don't think we have met. My name is Jenny. Nice to meet you. Amber is the name of my first serious girlfriend so you make me think back a bit when I see your name. :)

We are doing a glamour photo shoot at an outdoor mountain park tomorrow. Can't wait. We have a real photographer, makeup person and even a model to help us pose properly. Should be fun!

The photo shoot, That's so awesome jenny! Such a great idea and it would be so much fun. Can't wait to see the pics.

Today is day three for me on Spiro. The headache has subsided for the most part but still there a bit. Starting to want to pee a lot more but don't pee much. Maybe i need to drink more water.  *shrugs*

Interesting!  I had forgotten about the fact that is a diuretic.  Makes sense now.  I have gone several times already this morning(and could probably go again).  Might lose some water weight.  Haven't felt anything else yet.  Hopefully I wont get the headache.  I am excited that I am finally on my way at least.  Wish they gave me E, but oh well.  Need to be patient I guess.  Also waiting to see results from my laser session last Wednesday.  Friends say it will take about a week for the hair to start falling out.  So far, still have to shave as normal.  Cant wait for it to go away so I don't have to put so much makeup on.

Staying hydrated always a good plan even moreso if changing your body and taking a diuretic. Could explain the headaches depending on how much you usually drink.

Given our bodies are mostly water it's amazing just how much good drinking enough of it can do.

Photo shoot a great idea (it's on my someday list but it's a biiiig list).

Great yous have got your Spiro which is still a good step forward. Who knows maybe they'll review after 3 month blood test and maybe even add E.

Amber, it is good to hear from you and definitely congrats on your baby boy!!!

Glad to hear that so many of us are taking forward steps and doing well!!!

On another note, I got drunk and came out to my older sister the other night, and shortly after when the shots kicked in I apparently thought it would be a good idea to out myself on facebook. Hasn't gone too badly, one person that I have known for 20 years is a Dick about it but I knew he would be... not close anyway..... but everyone else had my back and yelled at him for me, so I guess all who pay attention to my facebook are supportive (minus the one). Oh, and I came out to my dad as well, conservative Christian.... and he said that he just loves me.... so... YAAAAYYYY!!!!!

Well, gotta go, but thanks for being here ladies, talk to you all soon!!!!
