Day 72 – Hair and Hormones
Yesterday was a busy day, I went to see my endocrinologist to adjust my hormones and got a haircut afterwards! My endo appointment went okay and he doubled my dose up from 50mg spiro but my prolactin is high so he is making me take it easy on the estrogen so I am sad about that 😦
My haircut went fabulous though! I uploaded an entire album showcasing it and some of the new makeup I got, including some eyeshadow from a Manly 120 color pallet I just got. I got my hair trimmed with a fringe and got blonde highlights on the top and some deep red highlights on the bottom and in the back. I love how it turned out and if anyone is looking for a good salon in Boston, checkout Revive Hair Studio, they are great. I have been seeing my stylist Sara for 2 or 3 years and I love every cut. They are all very friendly and open minded, they had a car in the last Boston pride parade. Here is their website:Â http://www.reviveboston.com/Home.html
So far  I’ve felt a fair amount of change from just over two months of hormones on a relatively low dose. I’ve seen softer skin, change in libido, decrease in sperm, breast development, softer features, fat redistribution and a slew of emotional changes. My left nipple has nearly caught up to my right and both have solid cores formed underneath that hurt. Tomorrow I am going to try and take measurements again and get a few development pictures together for my timeline.

Day 66 – Black Friday
Today has been one crazy day and I hope everyone made it through the day safe. I myself didn’t go out into the shopping craze until around 10am but the malls were still packed. I was able to pick up this furry winter coat for $87 and this scarf for $10 plus a cool blue shirt. 🙂
I was shopping with some cousins and my girlfriend which was a bunch of fun, after I got home my new makeup came which I was super excited about. I think later after I’ve used it more I will review some of the things I bought.
I gained like 5 pounds on thanksgiving which isn’t surprising. I’m getting a little more fat on my tummy but I am still getting more on my chest and hips. My chest is almost always tender so I have to be careful how I lay in bed and try not to bump into things. As odd as that may sound, it happens. I’ve been more stable recently, partially due to my new meds and the hormones but I feel more at ease with myself and my body. My girlfriend says I am soft and cuddly so the hormones must be working!

Happy Thanksgiving!
I just wanted to say happy Thanksgiving to everyone and that I am thankful for everyone who comes to my site! I am off to go eat copious amounts of delicious turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. Those boobs and hips got to come from somewhere!

Day 61 – Raving Mad
I’ve been having so much fun this weekend I totally forgot to post an update! I spent the past few days hanging out with a friend of mine and we’ve been having a good time. We actually went to the Alternative Prom I was talking about together. The Alt-Prom was a pretty fun event put on by my schools GLBT alliance, it is GLBT month so there are a lot of events going on.  We had a good time and she stayed over a few nights this weekend. :3
My nipples are still hurting, the right side has a solid core under it and the left side is on it’s way. One thing I haven’t talked much about is sex drive, thats right SEX. My sex drive has dropped considerably since I started taking hormones. Also, sperm production seems to be lowering and becoming more intermittent. I’m feeling good about where I am and I get to see my endo again on December 1st to see about upping my dose, woot. Also, tomorrow marks my second full month of being on HRT!!

Exhaustion strikes
I am exhausted! I had a long day today and between an alternative prom my GLBT group was holding for everyone who couldn’t go to their prom and watching Rocky Horror Picture with my friend Sam last night I didn’t get much sleep. Tomorrow I will make a more substantial post about it but for tonight I uploaded some pictures my mom took before the prom.

Yay! time to drift off into never never land.
