I think I am anemic. Strangest thing to discover about yourself ever when you really really would never expect it. But another girl in my cos class told me she's always been anemic, with high bp, and both got worse simultaneously in pregnancy. Soooo... I think I'm anemic.

I've been taking the iron twice a day and it's been making me feel intensely better.

In other things of note, I finally decided to take a look at the "tanner stages" everyone's been talking about. I believe I'm presently in stage 2. MAAAYBE early stage 3. I definitely do not have a secondary areolar mound, so definitely no stage 4 for me yet.

I believe that, from my understanding from talking to other T-girls, is that on conventional HRT, which means no progesterone, MAYBE synthetic progestins, no one ever develops past stage 3... I'm hoping that my attempts to more accurately reflect female hormonal cycles will allow me to complete the stages. I really realllllly want to be as complete as I can be.

In yet other news... My new batch of goodies minus PM and estradiol should be here tomorrow, so I'll only really be about 2 days completely without ANY T-blockers. I don't think my body has really recovered anyways. I dunno, I may have already done permanent damage. Which would be awesome.

That probably sounded completely strange, lol. Permanent damage and awesome in the same breath!

PM is coming USPS, which explains it's tardiness.

Estradiol... Well... It's a messy situation there... They apparently VERY recently just dropped the CC processor completely and are now doing wire transfers or personal or cashiers checks... So... I'm waiting for them to tell me the account to wire it to and then I'll be using Western Union to do the wire transfer. I get to stay anonymous that way... I still don't really trust them enough to take ANY chance on them getting hold of my bank account.

EDIT: AAAANND... Western Union won't work either, they don't do direct wire transfers to banks in HK. Bloody Grrrrrr.
