Update on me

[Alexa Lynne]

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in a while. I just wanted to give everyone a brief update.

I just finished my 7th week on HRT. Got my E and T levels checked for the first time. My Testosterone is virtually non-existant (15), and my Estrogen is at 801.3. I am told yes, it is high, but my doctor says i am ok, and not to worry. I feel fine overall. My gender dysphoria is at an all time high, and i've had a rough past couple of weeks with my SO. She's still not accepting of any of this, but we are fighting for our marriage. I still am hiding from her co-workers and music students, but i'm pretty much out to everyone else. The only time I go out in public with girl clothes on is when I go visit my friends, attend Support group meetings and go see my doctor. I also wear them around the house as well.

I'm not shaving as much anymore (legs/arms once a week, face once a week, other places every 2 weeks or so. My face is starting to thin out a bit. My boobs HURT like hell. I'm moody, irritable, and i cry on occasions.

I'm doing quite well, and will post again sometime. Take care!

Glad you're doing well in yourself Alex... sorry to hear about the ongoing struggles with your SO but this has to be the toughest thing to grasp - at least it sounds like she's fighting for you both rather than against you... :)

It's a 'long game' this one (yes - I know it's not a game, just figuratively...) - so be patient and pace yourself...

Just an amazing story. You have gone to shaving your legs for the first time (and that being quite the difficult milestone as you described) to completing 7 weeks of HRT in less than three months (going out in public for the first time in this midst of all this, among other thing). All while having a SO who is completely against the notion of transgender being real, let alone the transition of her husband. Simply amazing.

The thinning of body hair, and facial hair after 7 weeks of HRT. Is miraculous. Keep up the good work. You go girl.

I'm not keeping up with pictures or anything. I want to forget how i looked before transition. The only time i look in the mirror is when i shave. That's when i notice facial changes. I'm starting to work on voice training, but i'm not so sure I will be able to accomplish that. I may just have to deal with my deep male voice. Not all mtf transgenders do voice training. Although I would like to have a girly voice, i'm not sure it's possible.

damn girl, sounds like you're going through a rough patch, but will be worth it when you've finished you'll be who you want to be :) stay strong Alexandria

I understand that you are going through a rough time, however, how did you expect your wife to react!??? She married a man - now, through no fault of her own, is married to a "woman". It is difficult. While you are celebrating, she is dying inside.
