I was supremely anxious about starting for a long time, worried there would be sudden changes that would disrupt my social life or that I would get cold feet.

I am sure that any body differences I am seeing are mostly in my head because it has been such a short time, but I am more confident than ever that I am on the right path, at least. I feel really good, and I had some talks with friends about this transition and they were all really supportive. I had the DIY HRT tab open in my browser for like six months, so I am glad that I finally got over my fear and. (I going through PP and not doing DIY)

Just wanted to let you all know how it's been going!

Congrats!

I’ve got my appointment with a specialist tomorrow. They’re probably going to want blood tests before they prescribe anything, but more than any other changes, I’m just looking forward to having peace of mind. I can wait 5 years for the rest to grow in, but mentally I feel like a battery hovering at 1-5%. Looking forward to changing that 💜

Aahh that's awesome! I hope your appointment goes well, and that you start feeling full charge once again!
