"We are One"

2nd month of HRT

Again it's been a while since I posted due to getting things in order with my transition and working a lot. I am happy to say that I have now been on HRT for 2 months now and have come out to almost all my family and friends who have been very supportive and wonderful about this. I also had my first laser hair removal session last week on my face and neck. I have also come to the realization that I can not go thru this transition alone without the support and guidance of others so today I sent out some emails to the support groups in my area. Also if anyone on here from my area would like to talk sometime please feel free to message me. I promise I won't be a stranger on here anymore :-). I am also gonna post some new pictures soon.

Im just south of Atl so while we are not exactly in the same area, We're still both Southern Gals : ) Im also trying to be more active online and on PE in particular - I definately need the support and advice of those who are in the same boat. Plus,all of my sisters are simply the best !

Comment by Katie Scott on May 20, 2012 at 8:07pm: I feel outstanding. Since i've started i'm a lot calmer than I ever have been and also I haven't been depressed at all. All my family and friends have told me that it's a night and day difference in how I am now. The biggest difference is that my mom and I are really close now compared to before we always had a horrible relationship. As far as physical changes the only thing I noticed myself right away was breast sensitivity and some development. I didn't notice anything different with my face till a couple weeks ago. As far as the rest I didn't realize till my mom and wife on separate occasions pointed out that as they said my butt got huge considering as they said I didn't have one at all LOL. Over the past week i've noticed my guy jeans don't fit quite right anymore and as long as i'm not at work I just wear my womens jeans since they are way more comfortable now and fit right. My dr is also in shock at how quick i've been showing changes considering i'm on low dosages. I have my 2 month appt on Tuesday and I can't wait to see how my blood work looks like because my 1st month was really shocking to even my mom who is a retired dr.

Comment by Caroline Grace on May 21, 2012 at 7:18am: Congratulations on achieving your goals so far. Guessing from the comment below you are "near" Atlanta... I suggest you connect with Stacey Erin. She can introduce you to lots of support in that area. I have only met her once in person, I have read much of her progress and I think she'd be a terrific local resource as she has a fabulous head on her shoulders.

Comment by Jodie Jones on May 25, 2012 at 9:31am: Katie,

Just skimming ever-so-lightly through you comment below is like reading something about me. I've written about this at length in my blog. but there is not a single area of my life, or character, or personality that is not 15 shades better, happier, nicer. Congratulations on doing so well! And I have to echo Sabrina below - The very best gift I have received is to be able to feel, touch, experience and process emotions. Very few days go by that I don't have a 'happy' cry, or at least happy tears well up in my eyes. And I will never stand for anything less! :-)

Best wishes. Be sure to keep us up to date here on PE?
