Hello all. I've been thinking about starting my hrt journey soon. Of course I'm afraid of things like my families reaction, praying my other half will still be with me/accept me during/after the process. I'm here looking for a few things.

1. Advise on where to start, I'm lost in it all. Watching videos on what's best medication wise, time it takes to develop breast's (and hope they will be beautiful) injections or pills? Do I need to be taking progestin and estrogen together? I hear creams suck

2. I know the answer to this one, my fears of social acceptance and acceptance from my family will most likely need therapy.

3. What have you done to get that slim feminine figure? Hitting the gym? Diets? What worked for you.

4. I am extremely fearful I won't be passable and end up needing rhino plasticity. I have a larger nose I guess and I Def won't have the money for that for a long time. Also it was broken at a young age in a fight, I was always the quiet shy kid so I got picked on. I'd like to post a photo and get your opinions on if I would be passable.

5. How does hrt impact one financially? It's a major scare/concern of mine. The more I look into it the more I believe I am over thinking cost (minus surgeries) do lab tests cost an arm and a leg? What did you pay for top surgery if needed?

6. I want the slender look and everything feminine but I just don't know if I could go through with bottom surgery. I know that's a decision that takes time and can come later

7. How to find a good dr....
