So, last week as the week I have been on HRT for 3 months. As I stated before here is my monthly update. I have had my 3 month blood tests done (Did then 2 months in so give time to get my next 3 months of HRT sorted before I ran out). My testosterone level dropped by half (yippee) and my Estrogen level went up by a quarter. I was expecting my Estrogen level to go up by that much but not my testosterone level to drop by half in 2 months, so really happy with the results. As a result of the blood tests, GenderGP recommended my Estrogen tablets get doubled to 2mg per day and my testosterone blockers to remain at the level they are, 5mg per day. This is what I am now on. As for do I feel any different. Mentally I feel a lot more comfortable in myself as I know things are on the way. Physically there have been some changes:-Skin. My skin feels a bit softer, not by much but I can tell it is getting softer and more sensitive. Smell. I think my smell is starting to change, and I don’t sweat

The BMA posted a statement on there website calling for a suspension of the Cass review while they do a full review on how it was done.  The most important paragraph is as follows: - “The BMA is calling for a pause to the implementation of the Cass Review’s recommendations whilst the task and finish group carries out its work. It is expected to be completed towards the end of this year. In the meantime, the BMA believes transgender and gender-diverse patients should continue to receive specialist healthcare, regardless of their age.” I really hope that the Labour government, and especially Wes Streeting, does follow what the BMA recommends.  The British Medical Association (BMA) is the trade union and professional body for doctors in the UK, so it has the backing of the medical professionals of the UK.
