Should I move forward with HRT or should I pause?

Hi Friends! I'm back with some enthralling news to share with you all. I am halfway through my second month of hormone replacement therapy and am overjoyed to witness all the beautiful changes that my body has undergone. The bravery has finally come to me to switch from micro-dosing HRT pills to injections.

I have spent 21 years of my life, not being me. I lived as per expectations of my family but my inner self was highly dissatisfied. Discovering my gender dysphoria and starting this MTF journey, for which I m extremely proud, initially I started off with micro dose. Simply because a part of me wanted to explore the beauty of dream woman I always wished for and being the real me but there was other side of the coin which always kept me scared what if my family finds out and suspend all the financial support towards me. After consistent discussions with my friends about my transition journey, sharing view points with them, the opinion of my speaking coach named Eunice just simply cleared my mind. She said if you have a goal to achieve, you can’t do that by keeping one foot on accelerator and other on the brake. And she urged me to make a final decision which I should stand by. This powerful piece of advice helped me to gather enough courage to live my truth and switch to the regular dose of HRT.

My primary care physician has also made a follow up with me and told me that he can provide me with HRT dose and discussed with me the available options. One thing upon which he emphasized is the availability of good support system to be around. Although this is the crucial part of my MTF journey and one of the reasons behind my fears but I decided to move ahead with my HRT dose. I have my cousins and brothers who know about this and support me. I have good friends upon whom I can rely but my family being physically supporting, tear me apart when it comes to emotional support. But since my doctors believe that my desire to transition into my dream woman is stronger than these fears, I am ready to face the challenges that might undoubtedly come in my way. Because one thing is evident that life is so short and we all are unaware of what future holds for us. So I am just following my heart leaving the rest on God. Bidding you all goodbye till we meet again in next blog post. Love you all!
