At this stage in my mtf transition, I sometimes have to go out as the old male, I absolutely hate it.

My wife took two bras that had a seam in the cup and stitched the cups absolutely flat, this holds breast tight against chest, very little breast protruding.  No one can tell, bra show’s sometimes, can live with that.

I know, I need to keep reminding myself I'm 58 yrs old and only 4 months into HRT so should keep expectations realistic. It's just hard sometimes.

I think we all get in a hurry.  My wife tells me all the time just slow down and enjoy the journey.  How a cis woman can make it sound so simple.  I ask her all the time do you think this transition will make me as smart as you. LOL

*** I'll monitor bloods in the next month or so, and see if I can drop down to 4 x pumps as it'll last longer with 4 vs 6 (6x = 3 pump packs a month)
