I am on HRT!!
I started my first dose on Tuesday the 11th (June). I went to SOFT (Southern Ontario Fertility Clinic) in London, ON. Accompanied by Michelle Boyce from Alphabet Community Centre (London's Trans support group, acclondon.com).
The appointment was NOT stressful, very accepting and extremely supportive! Michelle is a fierce advocate and an incredible friend.
ok ... back to what happened ...
LOL ... ok, back to ACC first ...
Our health care teams have developed new hormone products and techniques that aid in faster more complete medical hormonal transition. Only developed in London these techniques have been in place since 2007 providing medical transition in 8-15months on average instead of the 3 years on former methods of hormone replacement. Fundamental to the HRT process here is the nasal spray which virtually stops the body from producing any natural hormones. This is used in both the M-F and F-M spectrums of transition. At this point the body is a clean hormonal slate where traditional Testosterone or Estrogen/Progesterone can be introduced without competing hormones.-- http://acclondon.com/transhealth.php
So essentially I am on HRT ... accelerated? time will tell ...
So I am on Estrace - no big surprise, and will be on Prometrium in a few weeks (no effective during first dozen or more doses of blocker anyways). The controversial part is SupreFact (Buserlin Acetate), a nasal spray that is the blocker. What does it block? Everything! Estrogen, Testesterone, the hormones
