Wow, Eve, you are so into this stuff. I just take my meds everyday and wait for things to happen. I'll probably be switching to patches when I see my doc next month. Spiro gives me leg cramps if I don't consume copious amounts of water during the day. I've switched to 0.5 mg dutasteride which is slowly restoring my head hair. Yay! I'm told that it will restore my scalp hair to where I was 5 years ago. That's not very much though. I hope it does more. This fall I'm going to have my first hair restoration procedure performed. I'll ask for a woman's hairline. Yes, it's worth it to me. Electro will have to wait. I'll have to carry a razor in my purse...LOL.

Hi Clara yes Im into it DEEP now
Going to court August 1st in front of a judge to hopefully get my name AND gender changed with a court order
I also have jury duty for the entire month of August
I called them and told them about my hearing and asked how this will work
Apparently they dont know because this kind of thing is very uncommon around here
Hoping I can get out of it somehow
Then I plan to get a JOB, hopefully something with some good insurance but Im ready to take whatever I can find to start...
RE hair restoration, I have noticed some definite regrowth on my regime
MORE than I had 5 years ago for sure
Im just going to let it grow, I gave it a very short cut about 6 months ago with the electric clipper.... Wish I wouldnt have now, it would be much longer
Im at least a year out from hair transplants but its definitely something Im interested in
Unfortunately Im not sure there is enough left to fully restore my hair so any regrowth is a VERY welcome development
Beard removal via electrolysis is a LONG tedious expensive process but combined with laser really makes a difference.... Im also hoping to be DONE with shaving in about a year
Id say get started with that as soon as you can
I just want the best HRT I can get and knowledge is power
I need to start looking into electrolosis, I suppose. Its time. Lol...never thought I would.Sigh...
Eve, how costly is electrolosis? Laser is a ship that sailed many years ago, I am sorry to say.
On the other topic, I have never had a problem getting jury service deferred, any where that I have lived. I dont think that will be a problem for you.
Hi Sammie, Im paying $111.00 for each 2 hour session plus gas to get to her.... She's an hour away from me and I go twice a week.... More than $900.00 a month
It sometimes seems to be a futile effort theres just so many damn hairs
But Ive been keeping at it and there is definite progress
As far as jury duty goes... From what Ive heard from long time residents its very hard to get out of around here anyway
Whatever though, might be fun to go to court as Eve
Eva, how many treatments to essentialy strip the face and neck? Do I really want to know....lol
I donno If I had to guess Id say for me anyway Im gonna need 150 hours
Im about 55-60 hours in now... Im lucky though because the laser takes out at least 60-70% of my hair and almost all of it on the upper lip, chin and jawline
Ive had three laser sessions now and hopefully even less dark hair will come in this time... Right now Im in the sweet spot about 2 weeks after the laser where its all finally fallen out... Only the white/grey hairs will grow for at least the next month then the darkies that aint dead yet will come back again.... Real nice though now because I can finally really see the progress from the electro
I guess it depends on how much beard you have and the skill level of the electrologist
Mines been at it for 25 years and she has done at least three MtF women
Ive heard it can take up to 400 hours though and 15-20K

Hi Eva,
I like Sammie (maybe for the same reason) quote that the Laser ship sailed many years ago, about 98% of my facial hair is grey (or is it ' Gray' in good old US) I have just a little dark hair that shows on my chin and upper lip. The rest is grey and thankfully slow growing, usually 3 days between shaves. It can be felt after 1 day but not noticeable until the third day.
I would dearly love to be rid of it all. Can grey hair be eradicated ? Anyone know the answer?
Hugs Heather
