Carys! What nice name, hon. I shall call you by that name from now on.

Wow! The progress you are making towards coming to grips with your transgender identity is truly wonderful.

I've read that most gender therapists put their patients on HRT fairly quickly these days compared to a few years ago. It's a great diagnostic tool to verify the your gender identity is real. Does the endo start you on Spiro alone? What about estrogen?

They are only starting with Spiro alone until they get a letter of recommendation from my therapist that I have been seeing about it (which shouldn't be a problem.) Once they have that, they will start me on the estrogen. I guess they also want to check to see how I do on the Spiro first. I was pleased to hear that I can treat my high blood pressure at the same time with it. Thankfully I stopped smoking 3 weeks ago.
