Once I made the decision that I wasn’t going to wait for the NHS any longer, I also decided that as I wouldn’t be having any medical supervision for the short to medium term it would be best to take things slowly.

The two weeks it took for my package to arrive was hell, and when it finally arrived I spent ages just looking at what I had bought, deciding “no time like the present” I started my daily 100mg of spironolactone (anti androgen).

The plan was to give that a month and just be sure everything was going ok, then start on 2mg of estrofem (dissolved under the tongue).

So much for the plan, the speed at which I caved and decided to start the estrogens as well was frightening! I lasted a whole day!

Ah well :P
