The Year 1998 (Last updated May 22nd, 1999)
July 3rd, 98
Injected another 20 mg Progynon. Added Premarin 1.25mg twice a day.
July 6th, 98
The nipples start to hurt on contact, and the breast tend to get firmer and grow out around the nipples.
July 10th, 98
Injected another 20 mg Progynon & Depotprovera 75mg.
July 15th, 98
Increased the Androcur to 3 times 25mg per day. Use now 2 times half a pill of FEMASTON (each 1mg Estradiol) instead of Premarin. The effect is much stronger and the breasts and hips swell up.
The upper hip rounded noticably more over the last weeks and the contrastline to the waist becomes more distinct.

New pic from yesterday. Was out again to a disco nearby. Got some big eyes.
Electrolysis has brought some progress now. The face and more than half of the neck are free of beard right now. About 4-5 sessions to clear the rest of the neck. But there is considerable regrowth that has to be treated as well every session. I found out that a minimum of 2 sessions per week lasting about 1 hour effective treatment time (75 mins in the chair) is necessary to achive visible progress.
These 3 pics are from Aug. 13th, taken after the 38th session.

The pic of the upper lip shows the regrowth about 18 days after a total first clearance. It is less than 50% , so a good result!! [ -- but 6 weeks after the first work over a lot more regrew ! :( ]
These 2 pics are from after session No 43. the progress can be seen.
August 1998
I am now adding Proscar to my medication.
- A injection of 10(ten) mg Progynon-Depot intramuscular into my butt every 6 days.
- In the morning 25mg Androcur, 1mg Estradiol and 5mg Dydrogesteron (= half a pill of FEMASTON / yellow)
- In the afternoon 2.5mg Proscar and 0.625 mg Premarin
- In the evening 25mg Androcur , 1mg Estradiol and 5 mg Provera (a Progesterone)
Sep 27th,98
Visited for a first time a TS friend I got to know via a chat - was VERY NICE - we had coffee and cake - chatted a lot- she made a very tasty pizza in the evening before I drove back home - sure hope to see each other again!
Oct 1st, 98
Set up a new meeting with my doc - to talk about my new medication and have my blood tested again and a first time after I am now on the new higher dosage! She told me she didn't call me back in early summer as the psychologist told her he doesn't aprove HRT and she doesn't know enough to take over responsibility.
Oct 15th, 98
Another meeting with my doc - to discuss the testresults and about a safer medication. Well , the lab messed up the Estrogene value - so I had to give another bloodsample. (grr)
But Androgens were down a factor 10 since March ( 1.3 nmol / l = 0.38 ng/ml = 0.38 mikroGramm / liter) and all but one liver value were ok - one minimal above normal - so we will test it again end of December.
We discussed I will try to reduce the number of pills I take and the frequency of injections - better to inject more Progynon but in greater intervalls- so I will use up my "Progynon 10" and then inject half of 100mg Progynon every 2 weeks then.
About Oct 22nd, 98
A short visit to my doc about the Estrogene value - very high - nearly 700 ng / l = 2.4 nmol/ Liter = 2.4 pmol / l.
Told I feel VERY WELL cause I met so many friendly people on the Internet - both TG friends and non-TG-friends.
? Oct/Nov, 98
I am now chatting in 2 German IRC channels - the #trannie.de and the #lesben.de -
in the latter thanks to the tolerance of the girls there - especially the second channel is a very friendly place to be :))
Thank U all for letting me chat there - "Knuddel" Weekend Nov 13th to 15th, 98
Took the train a long way down to Munich (6.5 hours) to visit a very dear postop friend ( my "little sister" ) that I chat now with for weeks. She took me to my first support-group-meeting (VIVA) streight from the trainstation. Very interesting to be together with so many TG folks - and I talked to 2 very friendly and nice TS after the meeting in a restaurant.
Sure hope to repeat this - if it wasn' just that far away !!
Nov 20nd, 98
Well - have had Electrolysis No 65 today - the face is finally beardfree again - if only for a short while.
Then we had a short info on a more effective and natural makeup - I don't need the heavy, greasy foundation (Kryolan - Supra Color) any more as there is no visible beard left any more !!
Nov 16th-20th, 98
Well - made a sad experience this week - A person that pretended to be a fresh PostOp TS talked to me on IRC - and we planned a meeting half way between us - but she didn't come back online and didn't confirm - but she was online just the minute when she knew that I would not be at home.
(P.S. Only saw her once online many days later - on that occasion she gave me a wrong telephone number.)
Early Dec , 98
Got in contact with a GG-psychologist ("Allison") that has specialised in TG matters - she is a very nice and helpfull person - AND her friend - a German PostOp med.doc..(B.). They are nice to talk to and it is helpful to exchange thoughts and news.
Dec 11th-13th, 98
What a NICE weekend - took the trains again down to Munich - stayed with my new friend S.Z. who is postop. We met only once the time I was in Munich before - and talked 2-3 times on the phone - but I think it was kind of deep friendship and trust at first sight. I was to the winter-party of the Munich supportgroup VIVA as Petra - and was so surprised noone that so me endrab before recognised me :))
We also visited S.Z.'s best friend S.S. in hospital twice - S.S. had had her SRS just 6 days before-and she felt great !
How nice it was to be hugged by S.Z. when I fianlly left at the trainstation :))
Dec 17th 98
Last electrolysis this year - had 75 sessions - most of them 60 effective minutes each - and spent about 8500 DM about 5100 US$ this year for it.
Dec 24th-27th, 98
What an interesting X-mas time. An ICQ-GG-friend from Ontario came to me while on her way to Sweden - nice to see her - but she had great problems here as her friend that she intended to see in Sweden seemed to have cheated her and wasn't willing to meet her at all.
Dec 29th-30th, 98
Well - I got ready as Petra on Tuesday morning and drove to Köln to meet "Allison", her daughter and B. - we had a nice afternoon and evening - and when I changed back to endrab I was told by Allison's daughter that she prefers Petra :)
Next Day I drove on to see 2 other German IRC friends - dressed at the first place - and drove on to the other one as Petra - and back home as well.
I got gas at a gasstation, asked for direction, ate in a Greek fastfoodrestaurant and had no bad comments or strange looks.
Dec 31st, 98
I was out on THIS special day as Petra for the first time - to a pub where we had a very nice party - family like with a belly-dance performance, younger kids and a buffet.
