Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much
I tried Progesterone creams over the years --- in my teens and twenties. I never feel like they really did much for me other than raising my heart rate --- or so it seemed. I would rub the cream on my body and I would FEEL different, kinda like apprhensive but not really --- kinda like my heart raced but not really --- just tension in my chest.
I have thought about using it again to maintain my curves, but the recollection of the odd feel about it has kept me from doing so.
Have a great weekend!!!
Robin

Oh my gosh, you have made me well up inside and feel both pride and bashful at once
I thank you so very much for sharing and saying such a thing. It is humbling and yet, at the same time, makes me proud that I persevered and allowed me to become me. Society and pressures sure push back against anyone not fitting a mold, a form, a conformance.
I recall when I knew I was different --- it was in fifth grade and, after having finally hit the softball I ran to first base (me, the littlest boy in the class!) and as I ran, I saw my best friend Neil playing first base for the other team. I ran as fast as my skinny little body would carry me and I made it! I got to first base!! I smiled with pride at Neil, who said to me "Way to go!" I looked into his eyes and impulsively kissed him. I meant it. I just kissed him on the lips --- no thought, no thinking --- and all of a sudden the WHOLE field erupted into a riot!!!
I was like "Uh oh, OMG....run!!" and I did.
Anyway, I got suspended for three days. No fair.
But it was clear from early days who I was, and what I liked.
From then on, I just dressed androgynously, and it worked. My hair was long and my jeans always tight by 6th grade. In 7th I wore makeup, and got my ears pierced. In 8th I insisted on wearing a dress to school, only to get beaten up again. But it was also in 8th grade where I met a perfect boy, and we dated secretly, and I felt whole and loved and pretty and feminine. He was older and bigger and muscular and just a flat-out hunk. Being wrapped in his embrace, held and kissed --- I knew I was where I belonged.
The journey of life had begun.......
Being me. All of us, being us. It requires courage and hope and friendship. So thank you, for being my friend
Your words have impacted me deeply. I am grateful.
XOXOXO

I've never thought of your posts as being an online narcissistic outlet. I find your posts to be upbeat and inspirational. I think you're a friendly person who is eager to support others with your kind words and useful advice.
OMG thank you so....
Have a wonderful weekend and may you be blessed with as many Louboutins as your closet can hold!!! LOL

Ohhhh, that's really sweet Robin. At least the part when you were completely true to yourself and just kissed Neil in that purely innocent and genuine moment. Were you mortified when you realized what happened? I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you after that. I know I could hardly bear my years in school and that was even while successfully hiding my real feelings from everyone. I wish I could have gone to school with you or someone else who had the courage to blaze a path for me. I know things would be completely different for me today had I been encouraged by someone, ...anyone. And I know I would have really enjoyed doing this life as a woman - I'm sure of it. Thankfully, I've finally found peace where I'm at though. Anyway, it warmed my heart to read your story, thanks for sharing it Robin.

I am one of those who was lurking around for years. Now I am going public.
I have read all your Messages, which I find very truly.
Centuries ago I fistly have started taking hormones (up and on). Since I was aware of the side effects I did not really go for the goal. Some two years ago I found this site. Since then I am more and more getting close to where I want to be since I have started doing my expeiments with PM and SP.
In one of your posts you have stated that FG is responsible fo your hourglass figure. Having this read I have also added FG to my regimen.
1. Did you also have this haul in your waist, which could give you the impression that you are getting slimmer there?
2. Today I have realized that my bum nearly has the shape of a lady's ass. Can FG be responible for that? I have started taking FG 4 weeks ago (high doses).
I am really looking forward to reading your future Posts and ...
Hi,
Thank you so much for your supportive comments
I think the combo of all PM/SP/FG played a part. First I must say I am a very tiny person -- as a boy and as a woman. My boy waist size was 27" and I am now down to a 25" waist.
What I noticed in the "hourglass figure" showing up was two-fold. First, the curve of my waist to hips transition increased and moved higher on my body ( as in GG). Second, my hips widened and my ass grew hugely (it has really taken off lately!
In fact I am much more focused this past year on nceasing the size of my bottom relative to my waist, and less so on breast size (I like mine just fine now).Lastly, I have excercised a LOT ---StairMaster and all sorts of weights, and that has really helped me gai/maintain curves.
I hope this helps. XOXOXO
