<p>I don't appear to have much effort to write here in my blog, but since
I was passing by I thought I'd write an update on my transition; for
posterity if nothing else.</p>
<p>Over the summer I've had my EV dose doubled; it looks as if 4mg might
be sufficient to maintain a reasonable Oestradiol level (but we'll
have to wait for my most recent bloods to be sure); and started on
decapeptyl - a GnRH antagonist (which causes the body to stop
producing testosterone).</p>
<p>I have also somehow caused my brain to naturally sing in the upper
part of my vocal range, at which point all the latent singing skills I
had from before puberty started have kicked in and produced a singing
voice I'm actually happy with (even if my ability to stay on pitch is
still a bit lacking). Speaking voice will require actual work; and
I've started watching Z's transvoice videos with an aim of working on
that.</p>
<p>I now have breasts that are visible to even me, about a 38C bra size;
and I'm told that some of the fat from my tummy has migrated to my
bum - although I'm incapable of seeing either of those things.</p>
<p>I spent some time last year with pink hair, but haven't been able to
leave the house this year to get it redone.</p>
<p>I'm thinking more clearly, more often, and in more convoluted
sentences. I cry sometimes and have a mood range that my pre-HRT self
would have regarded as impossible. I am happier all the time, even
when I spend 5 hours crying.</p>
<p>I have also, very cautiously, started drinking alcohol - the reasons
why I never did don't exist any more, and I actually feel like I'm
growing up now.</p>
<p>I need to ask my GP to confirm with the GIC that they've even received
my referal since I've not heard even a squeek out of them.</p>
