Well Im really really really liking this doc and his nurse

He had no problem with prescribing my request for 200 mg daily progesterone Ive been doing fine on it for a week now and plan to just keep taking it.... It does relax me and I just feel calmer so hopefully that keeps up

AND of course the "agreeable" guy he his he had no problem with upping my shots to 6.5mg weekly

I feel like Im really close now but I do feel better with just one 3mg gel dose or 4mg buccal E most days.... I hope the slight bump up will eliminate that need....

Unlike my last doc he had no problem with prescribing EMLA cream for my electrolysis... I just couldnt understand why my last one wouldnt do that BUT Ive made enough progress with the electro we both agreed she's run out hairs for now and we should wait 2-3 weeks, get the laser done and see what comes in Im about two weeks away from my forth laser treatment and there really isnt much dark hair coming in to zap either I know I cant be done yet but it is NICE to be able to go with minimal make up and when I do wear makeup it looks WAY better now because I dont need much at all anymore

Ive also decided to start seeing a psych and getting a surgery recommendation letter, I'll need two independent evaluations and letters eventually... He wasnt my first choice, the one I wanted has a long waiting list I got on... She has a lot of experience with TG... This guy has some and has given referal letters so we'll see how that goes... It would be nice to be able to just have him agree with me and write a letter but Id also hope he will actually do some work for my money... At any rate it is documentation that I am full time for the surgeon

I know my doc will be happy to hear about this, he seemed kinda disappointed when I first saw him and told him I really had no need for a shrink.... Id think this will be only a once or twice a month deal...

Eve,
I have followed all your posts with keen interest. I am still amazed at how you have developed and so quickly. As I have said before, I wish I knew just half of what you know.
I am so delighted for you and whilst your circumstances are so much more agreeable to your transition than mine are for me I am nevertheless very impressed.

I am very much older than you and with a helping of MPB like Clara has recently announced, I am very grey (gray) to boot. Whilst this does have some benefit in not creating a 5 o'clock shadow I am nevertheless wanting to rid myself of facial hair altogether for the very same reasons you have described above.

Am I right in thinking that Laser will not work for me but I will have to opt for electrolysis instead? I am seriously thinking that when I come back from holiday next month I will look into this very seriously. Any advice will be gratefully accepted.

Keep up the posts, please !

Hugs as always
