So, let's keep it simple to start.

How have you been? Where are you in your journey?

I've been on an emotional rollercoaster of sorts for a while but we won't get into that.

I've just hit 6mo on HRT and last week I learned...

drumroll please

I finally love myself! Something that has taken me 30 years to learn to do. And that final piece of the puzzle was to embrace myself as Olivia ❤️

So, how have you been? What's on your mind?

I'm feeling fine at almost 4 months of HRT now.

In about a week I will have my first control appointment with my endocrinologist after the first appointment got moved because my doctor was ill. I'm anxious to know how my levels are since I've been having relatively constant heart palpitations which I suspect are caused by my E levels which might be too low.

But I finally started doing some exercise again (cycling with my brother) since 2/3 weeks ago after a break of almost 2 years.
