I'll have a little tranny dinner where my friends and loved ones can suffer a couple of hours enduring talking about me and my stubble and stench. So, really not all that different from any other day.
Wait, there is a difference! My friend, Amboo, is on his way over and offered to purchase me a drink. So, one gift thus far. Cha-ching! Perk!
My hormone doctor gave me a call about an hour ago and, after reviewing the results from my blood work, has upped my dose from 0.5 mL to 0.7 mL. (so just two marks past the 1/2 mark, which I've been injecting for 1 year now). She said that my body has been metabolizing the testosterone pretty quickly, hence upping the dose a bit.And since I injected 0.5 mL yesterday and received the call today, I figure it's close enough to my injection time to safely inject the remaining 0.2 mL today and then to start on the 0.7 mL regiment on my next injection day.
Oh good times. I'm happy that my dosage changed. The 0.5 mL was a shot in the dark from my very first meeting with her a year ago - kind of like a blanket beginner dose for all new FTMs - with the plan to adjust the dosage 4 months later when comparing blood work. For some reason or another, I ended up seeing a different doctor who wasn't quite sure if or how to alter my dosage, so he err'ed on keeping it at 0.5 mL. And now, a year later, SHE looked at my blood work and decided to up my dose. Which makes me feel more confident that I'll get more of those secondary sex characteristics I'm aiming for at the rate I'm 'sposed to.
