Hormone treatment

The-red-centaurSenior Contributor08 June 2018, 7:54 pm AEST

Hormone treatment

I desperately want to start T (testosterone, I'm FtM trans) I've been waiting years to get "stable enough" to start it.

If I had made it October without self harming I may have been able to start T because that would have been over a year. Since my attempt last month I messed that up. I asked my psychiatrist about time frames again today and he couldn't give me an answer.

I really don't want to wait another year to start T. My dysphoria is sooooo bad.

Re: Hormone treatment

That brought a smile to my face @The-red-centaur.

Most of us have no clue what a person needs to go through to get the right hormones / right body - that they were denied at birth.

So it really does make me happy to see you a step closer to getting what I automatically got at birth.

I can't wait to hear your story progress all the way through.
