I did it!
I did it!
I did it!
First things first. Thank you to everyone here and particularly Lori, whose extensive knowledge, along with the discourse from everyone, helped me put together intelligent questions for the doc. I've been combing the topics and posts for info and it is really helpful. Thank you all.
So, I had my appointment with Herr Professor Doktor Wallaschofski yesterday in Erfurt.
I got my hormones.
I was armed with info but this is how it turned out.I am on 'Lenzetto' 1,53 mg/Sprühstoff (transdermal spray) Estradiol-Hemihydrat. I wanted injections, but it seems that isn't an option in Germany. So, I have the spray.
It is also the post-menopausal dosage. I wanted to be more aggresive, as Lori has argued, but he said that he wanted to see how my body handled it first. So my next appointment is in eight weeks.
Now, the good news is that when I asked about the bio-Prog that seems like everyone has to beg for, he said that was his standard treatment, but, again, in eight weeks. He said once a day, taken at night. I came back (typed up on my question list) with Lori's comment on the half-life and how many mistake the wrong half-life and that is could be taken 3x a day.
Lori, he said that you are correct ... but it depends on the brand. What he will give me is nightly.
So, I got back to Weimar, picked up my script and walked into the city center to celebrate at my favorite punk café/pub.
I met a girlfriend there and we celebrated from late afternoon into the early morning (ugh, my head) and I gave myself my first spray with her at the bar (she helped me figure out the device, which, I don't know why, looks like a woman's sex toy - or maybe our minds were just dirty at the moment).
I also met a couple of her friends who I didn't know, both working in the literary business and business partners. So, although still in boy mode, but more and more feminine, I am completely oout of the closet and I started to actually get kinda interested in her - it may have been mutual, she's my age. But he was treating her like doo-doo, typical dismissing her opinions and views, etc. - misogynistic. And, I can't remember the last time this happened, HE made a pass at me. Pretty strange for a self-professed "asexual." I guess that goes out the window when they get enough beers in them.
But hopefully, I can have coffee with Andrea sometime, she's aware that I am a transfrau and lesbian, helped me celebrate it, so ... maybe. Yesterday was simply a fantastic day.
And thank you everyone for helping me prepare by just being here and discussing things. It's invaluable for an information source.
Next up - the hair salon! My girlfriends are telling me that I could wear something like this, a short French Shag, and my face is still young enough to dye my hair to my original dark brown. I hope the curtian bangs would camoflage the male hairline/temples. And it looks versitile enough to switch between girl and boy modes as needed or desired. What do you girls think?
