On Wednesday, June 1st, 2022, I was approved by my doctor to begin HRT. The pills arrived later that day, but I had to avoid taking them for the sake of the bloodwork I needed to get done yesterday. Today, at 6:08 AM, I took the first dose of both Spironolactone and Estradiol. Today, a new chapter of my life began. I will start becoming me. Years of waiting have finally paid off, and even just a little over 40 minutes later, I'm feeling happier and more confident because I know what the future holds for me.
