We're.... Off to see the wizard!!!

[Colleen Ireland]

I have my first Endo appointment this afternoon at 2!  Hooray!!!    <insert dancing jig emoticon/>

I have the HRT letter from my therapist (first obtained Nov 30 last year), my GID diagnosis from CAMH ( just received last week), and the results from the initial blood work.  I am HOPING he will write an initial scrip today!  I will discuss options with him (Suprefact vs. Spiro, pills vs. patch).  I'm almost giddy - it hardly seems possible the day has arrived!  I have waited SO patiently and SO long.  Now it's MY turn!  Yay!!

[Melody Maia]

Colleen I am so happy for you, this day at last! You have been amazingly patient. I will be hoping with you that you get your E today and take the next big step. Good luck hon and don't forget to take pictures or video of you taking your first dose!

[MillieB]

Grats hun!

[cynthialee]

YAY!

[Colleen Ireland]

Good luck hon and don't forget to take pictures or video of you taking your first dose!

Thanks, girls.  Oh, and Melody... you've reminded me, I want to take pictures of various views of me before starting!  And I hadn't thought about recording that first dose, THAT will be something!  Thanks!  Oh, I am SO excited!  I just hope he will write me up something today, I hope I'm not jumping the gun emotionally...

[Robert Scott]

Congrats!  Hope the apt went well!

It's at 2:00 pm today, so hasn't happened yet, but I'll let y'all know!

Woohoo!!!!!

   It's an amazing ride, Colleen.... enjoy every moment of it. After about two months of HRT, I was hit with the overwhelming realization that I was doing the right thing. I hope it's as wonderful for you.

<hugs>

WooHoo!!!!!!   

Just got back, and I have in my hot little hand a prescription for Suprefact, Estrogen and Progesterone!  In a moment I'll be on my way to the drugstore to fill it.  Wow!  What a fabulous birthday present.  I am C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-I-N-G tonight!!!

Well, you asked... First dose of E (progesterone has to wait until 2 hours after meal, E take with food, Suprefact won't be in until tomorrow...):




(Simone and I went out to Harvey's for supper to celebrate...)

Hurray!!! Be careful with the progesterone. Is it micronized? Or synthetic? I am happy for you!

Dunno, it says "Prometrium" on the label. 

Virginia Marie, THANK you for the early birthday wishes!  (blush)...

As I understand, Prometrium is micronized P- I take the generic version of Prometrium called Microgest
