Well normally, your Dr. prescribes hormones for you. Now, you may need a Psychiatric referral sent from your Psyc. dr.
to your MD who will then prescribe the hormones for you. (S)He will generally, start you at a low dosage of Estrogen and some Spironolactone which is a Testosterone blocker. And then your MD will probably have your blood checked every so often just to make sure that the pills are helping you.

I hope that helps.

There are some girls here who have gone through the VA, so maybe they can clue you in on the procedures you need to be aware of. They nay have their own way of advancing through the process.

I know two Bay Area girls going to the VA for transitioning and they are very pleased with the VA's gender awareness and willingness to treat in an excellent fashion.
