Kellie, I know a way to fix leg hair. 😀

10 years have got behind you,
no one told you when to run,
you missed the starting gun

I still have to let my wife in on my new life. I'm thinking when we have a couple days after her surgery. She should be able to give me undivided attention.  It's not her fault it's her position

Petunia

Kellie, I hope the surgery isn't too serious and your wife is ok.

Take up cycling! It's not uncommon for male roadies to shave their legs! I used to do it (but I had an alterior motive ha ha!)

I have my preliminary appointment for HRT today.  I won't start anything until I talk with my wife, but this is the first step in progressing

Oh great news. Look forward to hearing how you get on. Hope it goes well XX

Dawn Kellie

Decided on some self care to day. Mani/pedi and clean up on my hair, still letting it grow just so it looks better.
I hope everyone is having a good Friday

Lori Dee

Happy Friday, Kellie!

Good luck with your appointment.

Just had my preliminary visit with an HRT provider. They seem to click all my boxes. They offer blood work, they will make a plan that works with how fast I want to make changes. The first year will be 3 to 4 visits as long as blood work is looking good and I don't have any side effects I will be seen e eye 4 to 6 months the second year, as long as things continue to look good the 3rf year on is once a year.
Now the next big step telling my wife.

Lori Dee

Glad to hear it went smoothly.

I hope it goes well when you talk with your wife about it.

My legs have been shaven for over 30 years for this reason. Pretty much all the guys I know are the same as they are cyclists, even some who have never raced.

I've never ever been asked about it, hassled over it or remarked about.

Gyms are full of shaven men too.

Good lord, I have had a lot to catch up on!

Take it gently, Kellie. You are on a rollercoaster but so is she. Whatever you do... keep communication open between you. However you feel, and however she feels, keep that link open okay? I know I am telling you what you already know, because you are that kind of person.

You can do this, honey. <3



Stottie Girl

Sorry Kellie, I've only just noticed you had your HRT appointment! Thats a big step forward.

Do you have any idea when you are going to approach this with your wife?

On a lighter note wern't you and Snow doing something today for her birthday? What did you end up doing?

Unfortunately Snow is still sleeping.  I'm going to make a cake. She has narcolepsy and Saturday is her catch up day

I'm planning on talking to Pamela on Wednesday or Thursday.  She should be better from her surgery and i should be able to get her off her work phone.

Oh the poor thing, hope she feels better when she wakes up. What sort of cake are you making?

I really hope it goes well for you on Wednedsay or Thursday but bear in mind this will be a hell of a shock you might not get the reaction you are hoping for straight away. As Lauren says keep talking to each other and work through things slowly. I'm sure there are other people on here who can offer better advice than I ever could though having had no experience of something like this.
