Hey all,
So I’m a nervous wreck waiting in the waiting room to start talking to an endocrinologist about HRT.
I know I want this. And I believe I need this to live but I am so paralyzed with anxiety 😬
Edit: thank you everyone for your support and kind words! That means the world to me ❤️
Just got home. The appointment went amazingly! My doctor took the time to listen to me and even went out of her way to refer me to vocal training with the hospitals speech therapist because I happened to say my voice was dysphoric. I didn’t even know they had a speech therapist that does vocal feminization! Plus my insurance will most likely cover it 😄
She was kind, respectful and didn’t trivialize my experience as a person or a woman.
Just need to wait for blood results to come back and I’ll be in the needle club.
I’m starting off with (I think) 2mg injected in the thigh once a week and 100mg of Spiro a day with potentially adding progesterone if needed or wanted.

You’ll be okay. I don’t know you but I’m proud of you for going and talking to a doctor about this.
Thank you :) that means a lot
How’d it go?
Nvmd, just saw your update. Good job :)
You got this! I have a friend on it right now and my gosh what a transformation! Be less anxious and more excited, this is going to be awesome.
I’m definitely feeling the excitement afterwards :) feeling a lot better now and thank you for the kind words
Best of luck!
Glad to hear it went well! Congratulations
The anxiety is completely normal, I had it too when I went to my first appointment. But afterwards I was sooooooo happy. Glad it went well for you too!
That’s a normal feeling, I’m sure they understand.
Good luck, you got this!! :)
Thank you! It went great and I’ll be on anticistamines soon!
How did it go?
Just updated my post, but it went great! I felt seen and heard in a medical setting for the first time in a loong time.
Plus my wife surprised me with my own blahaj and love note about how proud she was of me.
So I’m crying happy tears today. ❤️
Glad it went so well! Best wishes.
