I lost the measurements that I had taken for this month, reason being that it’s August when I made this post. The photos however, are from June/July.
The dark hair re-growth on my face is reduced considerably after 3 laser sessions. I am impressed but I will still have to start electrolysis after to zap the blond hairs the laser is not affecting.
My chest isn’t really worth noting much about. Possibly it has increased in volume on my chest but not in a outward projection as to increase the measurement.
I’ve gained more weight, but it’s most likely due to my inactivity and eating a few foods that I really shouldn’t, ie. Wendys and Dominoe’s.

Not much to report except that obviously I have gained a few extra pounds. Seems my butt and thighs are to blame for that My thighs measure in at 20 inches in circumfrance but I don’t have any previous measurements to compare against. All I can say is that they are larger then before.
My nipples have started to develope that secondary plateau as they call it, just in the areola region. It also appears that the injectibles I am on have helped with strengthening my brittle nails some. I have read and heard this before.
It has really started setting in that I just don’t wanna live as a boy anymore. I can’t stand being called by my boy name or referred to as “him” or “he”. It just sets this emotion of disgust in me. I have also decided I want SRS and have already been saving money for it. I figure, in about 4 years if I keep up the rate I am saving money, I’ll have enough for SRS and breast augmentation by Dr. Brassard in Montreal. Currently a $18,000 price tag.

Not much really to report. I have had 1 Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate injection and two Estradiol Valerate injections so far. I had laser hair removal done in December and my next session is scheduled for March. I think the injections are working a tad bit better or maybe it is just because of the higher concentration or dose I am getting but my breasts have been a lot more sore then usual.
My butt was so sore after the first two injections in one day. It was sore for about 4 days where it even hurt to sit. The second injection I got last weekend only made my butt slightly a little sore for one day, yipee!
I think my waist has slimmed out a little bit as well. I have noticed it but one of my best friends also had mentioned it recently. My chest isn’t to the point where it’s hard to hide them, it really isn’t. They aren’t that large at all but on the good side, they are large enough to just wear a bra without extra padding and show some chest. It feels good to not have to wear a wig or stuff my bra (even though I want larger breasts, I am happy with what I have so far).
So, I had my first laser session today. As some of you know, I been looking forward to this for a long time. I was actually pretty nervous since I knew it was gonna be painful and it was my first time so I really didn’t know what to expect. It didn’t really hurt that much but being zapped a few dozen times starts to get a little sore. The laser feels more painful the more concentrated the hairs are in the area thus, the chin area and upper lip were little more ouchie.
I also had my tummy done while I was there. Since I don’t wanna wait till after my face is done, that would be 2 years from now before I got my tummy finished. It only cost me another $200 on top of the $450 for my face lol. OUCH.
So you are wondering, what does it feel like? Well its a GentleLASE brand laser just so you know. When she zaps my face it feels really cold and like a hundred little needle pricks. It’s cold cause its like a kryogenic blast or something, that is what she said. The more hairs in concentration, the more you can feel it since the laser hits more hairs and the hairs stimulate the nerve endings. The area around my upper lip and edge of my chin made my eyes tear lol. My tummy wasn’t no walk in the park either lol. You’ll just have to experince laser hair removal for yourself.

I really don’t know what to say. It seems like the pictures explain it enough but I guess I can re-iterate a couple things.
I switched to Duphaston for my progesterone and started seeing a therapist so I can try and get HRT covered with my medical insurance. I have a doctors appointment on the 8th of December so I am really looking forward to that.
Body wise, my waist seems to be getting defined more. As in, skinnier appearing waist and wider hips. I like that, I’m starting to see “me” a little more.
Transitioning at this point is getting hard emotionally and mentally. Those of you who read my blog know what I’m talking about. I am also scheduled for my first laser session on the 30th of this month. I’ll write about how that goes at that time.
I swear that my Adam’s Apple has gotten smaller over the months. Not that it has affected my voice at all but just appearance wise it is smaller. My ex-girlfriend pointed this out to me, this is when I gave it a good look and she was right. I never paid attention to it before really because I know that HRT does not effect your voice or Adam’s Apple but maybe it does with size in some people? Well maybe I noticed it before but just blew it off as just my imagination.

I think my body is actually starting to change shape. It is such a subtle change that I only slightly notice when I look at myself in the mirror. Changes such as just more wider looking hips, smaller waist and larger butt. I know my hips won’t get bigger but it just looks that way, not sure why, I don’t feel more fat on them, just my thighs and butt. My hair is still growing. It’s about at my chin now. Been growing it out since November 2003. I wish it would grow faster!!
My name is Erin. I was not always named Erin and I was not always a girl. One could argue that I am not a girl, perhaps a boy or both; maybe neither.
