Ok about 5 years ago I started HRT for 2 years then quit. I’ve been saying I took a break. But I quit. It was what my wife wanted. I love her, so I wanted to please her. And for some reason after I had a very very painful ankle replacement surgery I wanted nothing to do with transitioning. So time went on and of course it started coming back until one day I could not take it anymore. I emailed my endo and to my surprise she welcomed me back with open arms. Talked it over with my wife and all she wants is me happy.
so now I am back on HRT for 4 months and a week. Getting my nails done as I write this.
still present male even though with a C-Cup it’s getting kind of hard.
Thingnis I am doing the same thing as last time. Not really doing anything towards my transition. Just riding the transition train. But getting my nails done is a start. It helps break my fear of being out in public with breasts and still presenting male.
next I may get micro blading On my eyebrows. And some natural eyelash extensions. And been looking to do fillers on my lips. I have no lips and I need some. Lol
Hi Nora, I totally understand your situation. I’ve had to put my transition on hold also. I’m really happy that your going to continue now. I’m will too eventually. It sounds like your wife supports your transition. I’m so happy your here Nora. Please let us know how your doing! Hugs..
I feel so much better getting my nails done. It has been on my mind for so long. Finally did it. Really helped that I was the only one there. And they did a decent job. So I am happy for now.
Hey Nora, that is fantastic. In the beginning, I think there is a lot of 'wobbling around', so to speak', and as time goes on, we get a better footing in life, and the wobbling gets less and less. And then one day, we realize, we are walking a straight line, and the next goal is insight, and soon to be in our grasp. Hugs, Michelle
Hi Nora , You know it's interesting , I've been all switched over for around 3 years documents , hormones and surgery etc. but I never took the time for facial electrolysis , you might think I would have and did have some done still somewhat presenting male and all though facial hair is not a major issue as per say for me but !? and I don't have a dark 5 O'clock shadow but just a tid bit , get rid of it when somewhat still presenting male because once switched over and presenting female you won't want to let the hair grow before each electrolysis session to get it removed walking around in public - for myself now I'd have to walk around for minimum 10 days to get some growth and you can't just get in for a 3 hour session when you want to - I think you'll find this is more important than eye lashes and nails all be it , it makes you feel your doing something about your gender dysphoria - unfortunately estradiol and at the start Spironolactone will not get rid of facial hair with long established roots from male puberty - this is a catch 22 for me now 100 % as a legal woman and funny I was D cup naturally before any SRS surgery and I increased my boob size with BA , I can go for a good 12 hours daily but is really a pain shaving to maintain what people expect socially presenting female - get rid of the damn facial hair to start with despite feeling feminine doing eye lashes and nails , it's pretty important along with the most important is voice surgery , if you sound female you are female when out and about as a woman - XO - Krystal G , BC , Canada

Hi Nora,
I mentioned something similar to my therapist a while back - before I even started estradiol. She said we all will arrive at a point when we'll just "know" it's time to embrace it and go full-time. I'm planning on being full-time as Brielle in 2023. If something should happen, I'll just reset the timer and "baste" some more (giggle). Your timing is yours - no one can take it on nor can you take on another's.
BTW, I hope I get close to C cup without augmentation (so jealous!). It's only been two months (5 on t-blockers) but I already have decent breast buds... fingers crossed!
Hugs,
Brie
Oh yes I will be restarting the electrolosis soon. Had my neck close to clear. But off the hormones a lot came back. Its ough to find someone close and that will answer in a decent amount of time. I will be contacting the next one on my list. 30 minutes away from me.
