[GoneGirl]

It's fascinating to have been a part of this community of people for the past 6 months. My ignorance of transgenderism and endocrinology was also staggering less than a year ago, Sammie. (I'm still pretty ignorant of the latter subject, despite all Lotus' wonderful efforts.) The willingness of members of this board to be open about their experiences with feminization, their motivations, their struggles, etc. has been priceless for me. Today, I find myself in a much better place psychologically and emotionally. I don't know when my transformation will be complete, or exactly where I'll end up. It seems that once the journey begins, it must continue for as long as necessary to satisfy some very personal inner calling.

Sammie, I hope you will always be a contributor to Breast Nexus, even if you graduate from herbs to synthetics; even if your journey takes you well beyond the limited scope of this forum. And that wish goes out to everyone. I know it's too much to expect, but don't we all miss Abi Drew's regular contributions to this forum?

Sammie, since you are now under the care of an endo, who, as you mentioned, is not interested in herbals, I would drop the herbs, at least for now and follow your doctor's guidance. It's very important not to be too cavalier about the risks these synthetic hormones pose to your health. Don't you agree?

Just my two bucks worth (inflation, you know )

A big sisterly hug,

Clara
