Just had my first check up with my Endo yesterday. Been on HRT for 3 months and my E levels are almost where I want them at 97.1 pg/ml. Trying to get to the 150 range.

Haven't gotten my testosterone test back yet but hoping it's low as the 100mg of Spiro a day is already kicking my ass.

Also through these blood tests I found out I probably have hyperthyroidism so gonna have to figure that all out. And maybe Celiacs Disease. Lol

But otherwise, I'm super happy with my results so far and just learned my daily ibuprofen intake can stunt boob growth so I'm coming off that as fast as possible.

Currently my biggest hurdle is finally coming out at work ... Then everyone in my life will finally know and I don't have to keep going by my deadname
