Thoughts on (re)starting HRT on my birthday?
Thoughts on (re)starting HRT on my birthday?
Pros:
- kind of a cool synchronicity
- Easy to remember
Cons:
- I don't get to have another "celebration" day
- I'd have to wait a week longer than I really need to

really all in how you feel about it. I didn't expect to remember my date i have a poor memory and it was a random day. Turns out i treasure that day more than my birthday and i'm definitely celebrating it when I get to 1 year. (i been celebrating it every month like a squirrelly noob tbh)
If you think it will make your birthday more special do it!!

I always go by my original start date for trans celebration stuff personally, if this is more important than your OG start date then by all means
-
My concern was that it would complicate keeping track of results from hormones over time, but I guess I can just separate it out to symbolic start vs. functional start :thonk-trans:

do it a week before your birthday, and henceforth have a week long hrt-day/birthday celebration when the anniversaries come around

Ooh I like that

Another pro is being able to use it as a reason to actually be happy about your birthday when others are celebrating it.
Kinda wished my 6 months from birthday was closer (I think it was like 5-6 weeks away), so I could have made that my HRT day but definitely wasn't gonna wait that long).

I started two days after my birthday. That's still easy to remember and you can have two celebrations if you want :3
