Notes

I got these after I'd already been self-medding with birth control pills for almsot 2 years. After finally getting a prescription for progynova I was surprised to find that they actually made me very emotionally unstable and really depressed for the first time in my life. This has almost completely disapeared now but it was a reminder that not all steps in transition are simple.
