Today is the first day of my new life! Just got back from having my hormones filled at Walgreens. I took my first round today and I am so excited to finally be taking that first step toward being who I have always been inside!
Congratulations on achieving this step you consider a great success. I don't recall exactly how I felt when I finally got my hormones in hand - probably mostly excited and a little bit scared, too, I think. The real thrill came to me when the hormones started working their magic.
Three things I learned as I got older was that sometimes it takes time to figure things out, not everything is self-evident at firs,t and one can feel many emotions in the same moment. Those things make this journey an enigma at times. However the forces within me eventually lead me to a better understanding of myself. I hope that happens for you.

Hugs
Comment by HELEN BRADY on July 19, 2012 at 11:12pm Good or you Chely. I transitioned in 2007, took phytoestrogens until I got my GP to give me HRT in Jan 2011 after I thoroughly researched everything. Remember changes are permanent, breasts and loss of male function.
I hope you are young enough that you get a fairly rapid female figure, waist, hips, and bust.
Congratulations! I wish you just the best for your journey, you've begun! This first step may be a small one, but with each step more you walk, you'll be happy for each new step! I've done my first step 13 months ago and have never felt, it was wrong! Otherwise, I'm actually asking myself why I had been waiting so long to do my first steps! Take care of you and enjoy the new wonderful experiences and changes!

Comment by Galina Edwards on July 20, 2012 at 2:48pm Congratulations on your "New Beginning". It is a Gold starrrrrrr day for you. LOL I remember mine. I went to Mexico to buy my hormones and I was afraid they were going to be taken from me at the border so I took a bunch before crossing.
Do not be alarmed when those girls turn tender and start poking holes in your bloushes. There is also a good chance you will have some clear fluid come from the nipples.
Good Woman, go forth and live.
Comment by Chely Thompson on July 20, 2012 at 5:09pm Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments! I kept thinking all day that this is the first day of the rest of my life. Thank you Jennifer and hugs for you to! This site has been so awesome and everyone has been so nice I wish I could meet each and everyone of you. I sometimes look back and wish I would have done this years ago but I am going to make the rest of my life the best! Anyone who has never gone through the feelings that most of us has all our life cannot even imagine how wonderful it feels to know that finally a big burden has been lifted from me with each step I take to becoming the woman I have always been. Just a whole range of emotions have been spilling from me daily. I am excited and cannot wait to tell all of you all my progress as my new life unfolds. hugs to each and everyone of you!

And by the way, the first day of taking my hormones, I went out and celebrated with friends by having a "few" drinks! :-)
