    I've nervous and excited at the same time. I've been waiting for this for 3 months now. I finally am getting somewhere when it comes to medical transition, and that is an awesome feeling. I'm just nervous that they will find some reason for me to not be able to start on T. This probably has to do with the fact that I'm not the biggest fan of doctors to begin with..

    So, I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, other than I am going to the endo for the first time and I am nervous about it..

    Congrats! I'm sure all will work out :slight_smile:

    When you do start, prepare for the worst hunger of your entire life... and you'll get used to the needle after a while.

    Everything went really well! I am starting on a weekly shot, which surprised me, since that is uncommon when you first start T. I'll be picking up my T either today or tomorrow, depending on how much time I have :slight_smile:
