NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, wont be in till Monday as not there usual supplier , I was pissed!!!!! So just had a large Brandy and lemonade and toasty cheese sandwich . Damn there goes the diet again. Waited long enough so a few more days wont kill me.

[p]

Frustrating! I had a similar experience yesterday--my doc was going to increase my dose but forgot to order 1 kind of test so will have to wait until that's in to bump up my dose. Hang in there, girl!

Grooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnn. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrg

That's rotten news. To heck with the lemonade just take swigs from the bottle.  I used to keep Blackberry brandy in the freezer just for that purpose.

[davina61]

Brandy is meant for the Christmas cake!!!!! so got a bottle of red. Talking to the lady in store tonight( we swop curry story's) and she asked my name or rather what would I like to be called and ended up talking about coming out and hormones. She was fine with it as well.

It's very refreshing to share our daily lives here too.  Sometimes it's nice to simply relax and smile and realize we all have lives that have common threads besides our own journeys.

HRT - you're alllmossssttt there!

[davina61]

one more sleep to go. Stayed in today , was going to work on bus but it was snowing well this morning so stayed in and cooked instead. It was nice to have a lazy day and if its not to bad going shopping with my mum tomorrow and Tuesday food shopping and pub lunch with mum and aunty.

[Rachel]

Tuesday sounds ovely. I use to take my Mom to a seafood place and have beer and seafood. It was a great time. It was 20 years ago. I miss that.

I had to wait 5 months for HRT. Then when I had the appointment for the scripts I had to reschedule my appintment because I had to make a presentation at work.

You 2nd birthday will come and we will celebrate it.

[Laurie]

It sounds like a good day to me with more to come.

Hugs,

Got nearly all Christmas presents today and my mum got me an Indian cook book for my present, we had baked potatoes for lunch and I went in the ladies loo . Bought some smaller bowls for my tea to try and stop eating to much!!! Cold today just above freezing so had leggings under jeans and calf high boots, toasty. Skoda went OK in the snow/slush and used the diff lock to get around mums estate. When I got home stuck on my first patch   

[davina61]

I know the mods don't like you talking meds so trying to keep it OK, The patches are only a 4 week supply (estradiol), injections are every12 weeks of Decapeptyl so don't know what that is. Will ask when I get stabbed tomorrow!!!

[Laurie]

Decapeptyl when I looked it up appears to be the stuff that are going to inhibit your testerone from doing it's thing to you. the main ingredient in it is Triptorelin.
  "Triptorelin injection is used to treat the symptoms associated with advanced prostate cancer. Triptorelin injection is in a class of medications called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. It works by decreasing the amount of certain hormones in the body"

per Triptorelin Injection: MedlinePlus Drug Information
https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a611047.html

[Megan.]

I'm on Decapeptyl and oral E. Yes the Decapeptyl is the T blocker. I was given a two-week course of Cyproterone Acetate at the start,  as the Decapeptyl does cause an initial 2 week spike in T before it drops to almost zero.

Congrats Davina!!

[davina61]

Thanks girls, worked out not to stick patch on sat down on inner thigh as it pulls when standing, every days a learning day!!!!

For the most part, you can discuss drugs. The only issue is if you provide dosage information such as how much you are taking. The general rule is if the information is enough to self medicate with, we will edit it. Otherwise we will leave the post alone.

[coldHeart]

I find with patches the dam things lime to peel off so must of the time I covered them with sport's tape, you having any problems with yours Davina.

[Megan.]

Some stick them on lower abdomen,  some on their bum. I did tops of my thighs and alternated.
