Two years ago, to the hour, I took my first pill of Estrogen, starting #HRT. Back than as #DIYHRT, today with #OfficialHRT.
It’s been a wild ride, and a mostly enjoyable one at that.
I’m definitely much happier, emotionally more balanced, more social, just in every way (except for physical strength and being cold all the time) a better version of myself. I love it! 😊

One year on E today :ablobcatrave: .. seems i had good preconditions for growing boobies :o) .. did not expect to be so far in 12 months tbh, although i knew it somehow. Always had higher E levels i think (small breasts since i can think of(childhood) etc. Looks like the extra E kicked them over the edge to level up a few lvls :D.
So todays office outfit pics feature the(my) best (body :D) parts.. boobies, legs and feet :D.

So it’s almost been 12 weeks since I got my last triptorelin shot (next one is tomorrow and the day after that will be the 12 week point) and I was having severe issues with temperature while sleeping last night and just don’t feel good at all.
Either I had a fever from the cold that I clearly have, or these are hot flashes caused by T no longer being properly suppressed. Most likely it’s the former, but I now took 12.5mg cypro just in case. Bridging gaps is why I have it after all.

CW: Effects of different Testosterone-blockers on sexuality (medical, but explicit)
When I was still on #OpenHRT I used #Cypro (12.5mg daily with varying doses of E, yes that’s kinda high), which was clearly enough to suppress my T, but since I’ve started official HRT, I’m now on #Triptorelin (a #GNRHagonist, in a rare Dutch healthcare W) with an injection every 12 weeks (my second one will be in 3 days on Wednesday).
My general impression is that cypro did a good job at massively reducing my sex-drive, I feel that triptorelin did a much more thorough job at flattening down most of what was left before.
Even more so with physical function. While it’s not gone completely and technically everything still kinda works, things went from “there is much less liquid” to “this almost feels like there is nothing” (there still is, but I think the consistency also went even more watery) with the change.

Just received my first #triptorelin injection, meaning that I'm now fully on #OfficialHRT. A few more days of cypro to cover the initial flare up, and , I'll hopefully be done with #OpenHRT.
I never regretted it and I will keep looking back fondly at it, but I can't deny that getting it officially is still very nice. 😊

So, I finally got an official prescription for #HRT and my pharmacy said they will have it tomorrow at 14:00.
Now the issue is that the blood-test they took last Thursday showed admittedly VERY high values of E (3324 pmol/L), though I didn’t know I would get a blood test that day and so took it shortly before (aka: this is pretty much the peak value) on the arm from which the blood was drawn (I did wash it of a bit, but this is known to cause inflated values) and so they initially suggested 2 pumps (1.5mg) with a compromise offer of 4 pumps (3mg) which is still below my compromise offer of 6 pumps (4.5mg) which is far down from my current intake of ≈12mg.
She will discuss it with the Endo again today or tomorrow since I did point out that the value is high due to me using a very high dose and will let me know if they adjust it.
Still it looks like it really is finally officially starting, a mere 8.5 months after I started #OpenHRT. 🙂

#HotTake: #Homebrewers are the modern day counterparts to Oscar #Schindler in that they take significant personal risk in order to save countless lives of a minority that is suffering from Nazi-persecution.
The grey-market sellers of prescription-medication might not quite reach there, because their stuff is so expensive that it limits who can receive it, but they are heroes too.
