Well i finally got my medications after my last visit to my doctors on the 15th, and wow! I need to ask has anyone else had a huge roll of changes start rather quickly? I am changing at a pace that i did not expect and wondered if maybe it was mostly mental as i do feel "DIFFERENT" than i did prior to starting. I called my doctors office and after speaking briefly with my doctor i was asked to come in on monday. I hope my lab work is fine.

YAY, Lisa...

Congrats on getting your hormones. I hope your lab work is okay too!

When I first started therapy I told my therapist that it felt like a dam was about to burst. it's kind of been happening like that, so many changes rather quickly.

I really believe that the act of taking a pill everyday has a profound effect simply because you are taking action to transition. I think a lot of people underestimate how powerful a simple act like this can be. I also feel that this is often the source of the placebo effect that people talk about.

I agree, 100%.  The simple act of taking a positive step, day after day is immensely empowering, physically AND mentally.  Also, estrogen is well-known as a mood brightener for many people.

Congratulations!!!
Its a big day for you, I always considered this the first big step to becoming who yu really are.

So happy for you, getting close to that day with my therapist too. Excited and nervous, a big step

Well I saw my doctors and after testing had to be hospitalized sadly my health  is not going to permit hrt therapy of any dosage or kind. I am still not feeling well but will post more as my endo and i figure out what happened and why. For now were calling it a hypersensitivity to the treatment i was prescribed.
