I read Megan's posting about being on BO for 10 months and then going to pharma.  On Friday, I will have been on BO (2000/mg) per day also for 10 months, and I have been wondering whether to go on estradiol.  I am 66 years old and I was not sure what I expected when I started taking BO.  I knew that I was testing the water and have learned that BO is very subtle how changes take place. Candidly, I thought that there was a little puffiness and sensitivity when I started, but that is really phantom feelings.  After 10 months, nodules have started to form in my breasts; my areola has become a little larger; and I only shave twice a week at most.  My clothes (shirts and pants) do not fit me very well.  My testicles have shrunk noticeably, and I really do not have many sexual urges.  I have discovered that bras were torture devices invented by men who have no conception how to use them, but even with my small breasts, they do provide needed support.

Most would say that my changes are amazing after 10 months.  However, the biggest changes have been to my mind.  This is not a pink fog.  I have come to realization that I have and have always been a woman.  It has taken awhile, but I can honestly say that I am trans.
