Day 190 – Update
Hello,
Things have been going pretty good for me right now. my depression is starting to lessen and I am enjoying life more. Though I am still having trouble in school. Tomorrow I go back to see my psychiatrist to see how my meds are working and on Friday I have another appointment with my endocrinologist. Hopefully I will be able to go back on estrogen but we will see.
Until next time,
Abbey
Day 156 – Update
Hi there, it’s been a few weeks since my last post so I thought I’d give a little update. I’ve been feeling a little better than I have been recently. I’m not sure if it’s because I stopped the estrogen or if it is just a coincidence. At this very moment I am feeling a little anxious, I’m not really sure what to do with myself. Anyways I just wanted to update you, talk to you later.

Day 134 – Letdown
Well I had an appointment with my endo again today. I thought things would be okay but in my lab work my prolactin was still high and there is some suspicion that the estrogen could be causing my depression so I have been taken off estrogen. I am pretty devastated; it’s like a step in the wrong direction. The only good news is that my endo upped my spiro from 100mg to 150mg, but thats no substitute for the lack of estrogen. I’m not sure what I am going to do now, probably eat a bag of chocolates.
Until next time,

Day 78 – Weight Talkin’
I put together a little chart to show my change in weight since starting hormones. There is a lull in the center fir the time I spent in the hospital and dealing with my emotional issues during which time I did not measure myself. I have definitely gained some substantial weight, going from high 160’s all the way to low 180’s. Part of it is due to my choice to stop watching my calories and to allow myself to gain a bit of extra weight to help in redistribution, but also I definitely have more food cravings than before. Yum chocolate! My plan now is to lose some of the weight I put on or stay around this weight.
Weight: 182
I guess I will see how hard it is to lose weight on hormones!
