Hi Aria,
thank you for sharing your experiences! And I am happy that you are happy.
I understand that you are a little bit worried about possible negative consequences of HRT due to your health issue and therefore I completely understand that your doctor decided for "start low go slow" approach. However, to my knowledge, there is not many really major interactions between HRT and heart medication. I suppose that after heart attack you are taking some kind of antiaggregation pils, ACE inhibitor and maybe diuretic and beta-blocker. I think the biggest concern is higher risk of blood clots, but if you are taking antiaggregation therapy and you are not smoking I think you don't have to worry too much.
Anyway, I am interested in what your doctor told you: that "you wouldn't know yourself in 6 months and that in 18 months you would look totally different." How do you feel about it? And what is your "final destination"? I mean, did you think what would you like to accomplish? How much would you like to feminize yourself?
