10/10/2017 0 Comments HormonesYesterday, I had what was for all purposes my first annual HRT checkup. It went very well. I am not having any problems. When she took measurements, we discovered that they haven't really changed in the last 4 months. That surprised me, but the numbers don't lie. She suggested that I could add progesterone to the mix. At first I said I think I am happy where I am right now, but after talking with some friends last night online, I decided I would like to give it a try. I sent her a message this morning saying that. I am hoping I will have a prescription today or tomorrow.
I also asked her about an orchiectomy. She gave me the run down on what I needed to do to get it done. I need a letter from 2 different therapists and I am good. That shouldn't be a problem. I will ask my therapist next month about it and who I should meet with for the second letter. I also found out that the University of Minnesota will soon be doing GRS surgery. If I decide to go that route, I can do it without travel!

3/10/2017 0 Comments Sadness and FrustrationMy best friend, who I have only recently gotten to know thanks to Twitter, is having a hard time right now. I wish there was something I could do for her, but we live on opposite sides of the country. I feel so sad that I can't be there for her and give her the support she needs. I hope so much that she is getting help. The last photo I saw of her was filled with such sadness. I am in tears, feeling completely helpless right now...
2/10/2017 0 Comments Anniversary Week Part 5And this is the final post on my first anniversary of being out as a transgender woman!
On this day last year, I appeared for the first time in front of any family member as myself! I was going to spend one last night with my brother and sister in law before they went back home! I decided to wear the new dress that I had bought in Duluth on or trip. I arrived at my brother's friends house and as soon as my sister in law saw me, she said "Yes!" she knew immediately that this was the real me. We sat out on the patio for a while before we went off to a brewery for a couple beers followed by going to a pizza place for dinner. It was such a wonderful end to a wonderful week! |
