As the post title indicates, I have been on the E for one full month. With the help of my friend, I self-administered my fifth shot, and even though I had a couple of bumps, the process was smoother. I am confident that I can inject myself without help if necessary. I plan to do […]
Anxiety
I don’t want to go into too many details; however, I want to document my feelings. It is incredible how a person can put on a brave face, come out to the word and say, this is who I am. I hope you can appreciate the real me. What baffles me is when that same […]
Week 4 Update
As anyone following me can see, I am not doing better with my posting. The one good thing I have going for me is that I am at least posting every week after my injections. This week was a bit different for me. I have been fortunate that a person at work who gives injections […]
Week 3
I am ashamed to say it, but I am falling into old patterns. My last post was last Wednesday, when I received my second shot. I must do better. As the title suggests, today I received my third shot of Estrogen. I mentioned my mood right after the shot in the last post, and today […]
Change Change Change
I have been so fortunate with my “coming out”; almost everyone has been accepting, and I have not had to deal with too much negativity. Most friends are excited for me, but I do have that one friend who is having a rough time. She keeps telling me how she keeps grieving the loss of […]
Week Two
Yesterday I received my second injection. As mentioned previously, noticeable changes don’t appear for at least a month but that is the physical. I can tell you, I did notice a change, my mood after the shot was immediately improved. I am so excited to see what continues to happen. I know I mentioned above […]
Quick Update
As mentioned, I met with the doctor, who prescribed me estradiol valerate. I received my first injection this past Thursday, and nothing magical happened(of course). Changes will take a while, but I am amazed that any little thing that happens to me, I immediately think, “Oh my God, the drug is having an effect.” On […]
FaceApp
I found an app called FaceApp this past week. FaceApp is an AI photo generator. There is a monthly service fee with a 7-day free trial. I signed up and canceled immediately. The featured image and the after picture are examples of what the app can do.
Dr. Visit
Yesterday, I had my first visit with my doctor. The visit was great, he was helpful and a pleasure to meet. We agreed end on Estradiol valerant 20 mg. The medicine should be here today. I am excited.
Why That Name?
Since coming out, one of the most common questions is: “How did you choose that name?”. That name, of course, is Alla. Back in 2006, I started playing the MMORPG game World of Warcraft(WOW). When creating your character for the first time, you can choose between several races and two genders. I initially chose a […]
