Hello BillieA
Welcome.
There are two things to see:
Transition and be the woman you've always been.
Have breasts and remain a man.
I took PM and SP for 3 years and 6 months. I started at the beginning of 2019.
At the beginning of 2022, I sought help from my GP, who said he was incompetent. I sought and found a doctor, after discussion with this new doctor it turned out that I was transgender. This answered a lot of questions.
From what you say, you want to make a complete transition.
I myself have been in transition for 1 year and 5 months.
Transitioning involves changing your life and being feminine for the rest of your life.
Coming out, changing papers, changing gender.
At 59, you are certainly still working.
I am 60 years old this month, and in my circle, the transgender people I know and on this forum, many of us take the step between 50 and 70 years old, either NBE or HRT.
I would advise you to seek treatment from a competent doctor on the subject of transidentity.
Hormones should not be taken lightly. Perhaps you will be able to have the hormones covered by your health system.
Me in France, I don't pay a euro for hormones (Estradiol, Progesterone, Decapeptyl)
If you continue on the PM route I recommend the Ainterol brand.
NBE with PM, will allow you to have breasts but will have a slight influence on the feminization of the rest of the body.
HRT with hormones is much, much more powerful and must be monitored with regular blood tests.
It takes a long time, the hormones work internally.
For young people, puberty happens over several years, breasts, fat transfer, subtle changes, for old people, it's the same (well almost), be patient and the result will be at the end of the road.
You will find a lot of information on the excellent thread and others from Lotus
