However, when I went to a clinic that specializes in transgender care, they give you a blood test. If the results come back ok you will be a half dose of hormones. Some changes may occur, but this is primarily to see how your body reacts to the newly introduced hormones. This way, if something does go wrong you won't have to suffer a major medical complication. <BR/><BR/>You then take another blood test. If all is well, the standard dose or the full dose of hormones may be prescribed if so desired.I have blood test scheduled in a month to make sure I am not undergoing any complications.<BR/><BR/>It is very important to seek a medical help for HRT. I hope I was able to address you question. ^_^<BR/><BR/>-NikkiNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055571621018171200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-521800985917728760.post-79678099144652051432008-12-09T22:41:00.000-08:002008-12-09T22:41:00.000-08:00Congrats on coming out to your mom!I was extremely...Congrats on coming out to your mom!<BR/>I was extremely nervous when i told my mom. and i still haven't told my dad. i'm scared out of my mind to tell my dad. <BR/><BR/>I feel dumb having to ask, but when you are first starting hormones, you start on a, what, half dose? Quarter dose?Daniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09931374694178697649noreply@blogger.com
