More HRT issues. Finally managed to get from the doctor's office that they require I have an office visit before they will refill my prescription. It's only taken a month of calling regularly to get this (previously, they only admitted that they wanted lab work, which was done two weeks ago.) I'm beginning to wonder if there are HRT doctors that don't suck.
Ah, well...it's a trip to Atlanta in a couple weeks, and they're supposed to call in a single refill so I won't run out.

I'm willing to travel; D.C. is in consideration (slightly closer distance-wise, worse for traffic.)

I agree that voice is a hurdle, but there are many natal women with deep voices, and the female voice tends to become deeper with age. I think we sometimes get a mental block about our voices. Just as some transitioners can't "see" there own changes (because their brains are used to seeing their "old" selves), so too they can't "hear" the changes in their voice.
I had a very good friend who kept a video diary each month in her early transition, and it was amazing how her voice completely changed in the course of just a couple of months of constant use.

Not seeing the changes I want fast enough definitely sucks, as well as still having to shave and having a receding hairline. I'm not balding on top, though, but it is a lot thinner than in the back. I swear, though, that I can feel the tiniest hairs where it's receding. If all I need is Finasteride to stimulate proper growth there, I'm taking it ASAP.
What also sucks is being 33 years old and watching my friends drift away into their busy lives. The person I live with seems to have traded a solid friendship with me for several "friends", because he seems to think quantity is better than quality right now. I've pointed out to him one thing after another that these "friends" do that proves how much they actually respect him, and he just dismisses it all. They leave the house messy, they don't rinse their dishes, they leave things on all the time when not using them (like his new 60" plasma TV), and they smoke cigarettes in their bedroom. But then he ends up smoking pot in his room, if not the living room, so I give up. I wish I could move out, but I have nowhere to go, and I can't afford rent anywhere else. I pay his mother $200 a month, and I can barely afford that. I wish I had a van or an Airstream that I could live in and just travel around.
I really don't know what to do anymore.

I really don't know what to do anymore. Yes that sucks, seems like you're stuck on one of life's plateaus, the only thing that will change that is to find a way to increase your monthly income so you can move up and out of there.

Arin, I understand how frustrating it can be to wait for the effects to kick in. It takes many years for cis women and men to go through the motions for puberty, it makes sense that it would be the same for us. I had heard from a transgender girl who was disappointed that the effects weren't coming in fast enough at 8 months. She told me she had heard someone got C cups after being on HRT gor six months... I found that kind of hard to believe...?
Speaking of boobs... things that suck... hairy boobs that feel like hedgehogs. You're welcome!

Where are you at? I'm going to be looking for a couple of roommates come late summer when I get my house back - Clean, Sober, Non-smoking, garden loving, and dog tolerant required. lol I even have the Airstream to borrow for adventures. Finisteride helps, but is not a panacea. There is some initial shedding and the full effect takes a year or more. Still I won't leave home without it. Julie I'm in Houston, Tx.

Unpredictable things,hrt breasts. Minds are close to but not quite a cups. And I am overjoyed to have that. We get what we get. I like what Shan says, that it can keep going too. I am at nineteen months hrt, twelve of which was higher dose, seven of those on serious injection doses. And my body has changed a lot. :-)

Every body is different and it isn't realistic to expect stunning development at the same speed that genetically born females experience it.

I know my biggest challenge is still how I see myself and the self loathing I have most of the time. I would have given you a thumbs down for this statement Jaime. But I can't. So I gave you a thumbs up. But OMFG? Really? Remember? We have seen your pictures. OMG if we could all just be so lucky as you. But we all see ourselves different than the rest of the world sees us. I think you mentioned working in the oilfield one time and I used to run the oilfield and if I ever saw you on a sight I wouldn't even give a second thought about who you are. Now I would because I know what you look like and would mention this sight and who I am. But really you should be proud.

I worked at the state port for a small import/export company for bulk materials mostly. And to me, I'm not no where near as nice looking as you all seem to think.
Anyhoo, just to show you, this is what I looked like back then in '06. It was prelaser but two years hrt and taken aboard a ship in the tally office.

Of course you aren't to yourself. If you were then tha would make you concieted. But If I saw ou on a dock you would be female to me. Nothing more and nothing less. C'mon. Give yourself some credit. OK? Don't sell yourself short. Just be proud. No matter what, there are people out there that don't have near the courage that you have that want the same thing. Whether they admit it or not. that my dear is a big win on your part. So just wallow in hte win. BTW. If this helps you are prettier than most other women I have seen working on docks or in the oilfield so win win for you.
