tsprincessdayna.livejournal.comHi! My name is Dayna, I'm 29 yr old pre op mtf. I used to have a journal but lost the password to my old email, so cannot retrieve it :( So, Alot has went on. see deadjournal.com/users/tsprincessdana (for my ld entries that maybe arent private >.<).....sooo, I decided after some deliberation to make a new journal to document my transition. For those not in the know, I plan on keeping this a little private, but am open to new friends. Alot has changed from the age of 26 to 30- and alot hasnt. This gender dysphoria never went away and was always rearing its ugly head as I tried to.
My fiancee of five years has always known since we were kids (since 13, we turn 30 this year), and she says its been obvious I've been suppressing myself. (apparently my feminine nature rears her head alot when im not trying to act male). After a long talk with an old old friend, and then the wife, I just decided "fuck it, I gotta be me before its too late to", and sometimes, I feel like its too late to do so :(
Ya, I'd have years where I'd live female/ the try (ya try) to live male. and I cant pretend the woman I am isnt real, isnt me. And its just time to tackle my insecurities and realize I should have done this a long long long time ago. So, I talked with my Primary Care Dr. on how I've been diagnosed Gender Dysphoric by multiple counsilors/therapists growing up and he wrote me a letter for "hormone therapy" to an Endo. My question is, in Michigan, is that the document I need for full time HRT?
Further more I've been self medicating with Estradiol Valerate daily (pill form). I know its dangers, and I wont post the dosage, but its not high at all. I've self medicated on and off in the past, so i know the risks, and what to look for, and as it stands, I have one month till my appt with the Endo. If anyone lives downriver in michigan and knows any trans-friendly Endos, speak up! This guy was listed on the transgendered yellow pages but other then that, I know nothing about them :/ I just want to be fully under the care of somone, so I know I'm doing the right thing in those regards.
Anyhow, jsut wanted to say hi :)
