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

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.
