10 Months

Today marks 10 months on hormones.  I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by.  I am happy with the progress I'm making.  I do get a bit discouraged sometimes though.  I see so many woman post before and after pictures at less time than I've been on hormones and they have progressed so much further.  But even with being a bit discouraged, I'm happy with how slow it's going.  It definitely makes it easy at work.  Still haven't had to worry about coming out yet.  I know I have changed a lot in the past 10 months.  I am getting read more as female.  I would say I get read female 30% of the time.  That's better than nothing.  I have such a hard time seeing the results though.  And I hate hate hate how I look when my picture is taken so I still haven't taken any pictures of my progress.  As for other physical changes, my boobs are sitting at just about a "B" cup.  Getting harder to hide them.  Hair growth is still sporadic.  Sometimes I feel like I can go a day without shaving and others I feel like I need to shave twice a day.  Weird.  Other body hair has slowed in growing.  I don't have to shave my chest as much or my arms.  

The biggest change in my has been psychological.  I am more comfortable being my "authentic self" (as my therapist puts it).  I'm more talkative, outgoing, and happy.  I have really broken out of my shell.  It's scary but I like it.  

I'm so glad I finally gathered the courage to transition.  Can't wait to see what happens next month.
