yay!!! the doctor at PP walked me through the steps and it was way easier than I expected!!
she also gave me some syringes, needles, wipes and stuff because my pharmacy is being an ass and not stocking them... but I have my meds so I can do it for the next couple of weeks!!
I'll see how I feel the next couple of days and keep up on my spiro... I can't believe this is all happening so fast :3

Congratulations! I told you they made it easy lol. Enjoy the coming boob pain and emotional changes. Those were the first things I noticed at least.

the first things I'm noticing subtly is how sunshine and rainbows everything feels rn... I have no idea if this is just what normal feels like but I haven't had any negative feelings since I woke up and everything looks so colorful, that last one is probably just spring rolling in though

I didn’t realize how pretty the sky was until I started HRT. Looked it up and apparently perception of blue is especially sensitive to hormones

hehe for me it's been anything red. everything red and red adjacent like a deep pink/orange is just popping out at me even if it's something I've seen before... so much it might be my new favorite color if this keeps up :3

i started estradiol and bica almost exactly a month ago, and i distinctly remember my first 2 or 3 days being my happiest days of the year. I'm not unhappy now, but it's leveled out to a more reasonable level. i would imagine its just the satisfaction of finally being set on the road to being our true selves, but it is a very nice feeling <3
also if you aren't already, get used to wearing bras all the time. i started getting mild nipple chafing about a week ago, exacerbated because my job requires lots of upper body movement, and bras are working wonders for it.
