Unfortunately it’s really difficult to quantity how medication is going to affect you, as it’s different for everyone. I have had really good results with Cyproterone for an AA, and I switched from patches to pills about 2 years into HRT because I was forgetting to change them.

Progesterone has unclear effects, so it’s hard to say you started it “too early”. I don’t think there’s harm in starting earlier, but there’s not much research into it so it’s hard to say.

What’s Orff? That sounds exciting!

That sounds… terrifying. I’m not sure I could even spectate.

That’s rough… I always find death (in all forms) really heartbreaking to witness too. You had to do it, but that doesn’t always make it easier.

I finished my honours thesis and I’ve honestly been feeling kind of… bad about it? Bit weird. Work’s been super hectic too!

BUT I also booked flights to Canada to see my sister, which is really exciting so things are looking good.
