How do you tell people and what do you tell ?????

@arpie - Thank you for your kinds words. :) :)
You may have noticed that was my first comment, I'm very new to reading the posts and had a little bit of courage to respond to someone so new to the experience. 
I've made a note of your comments regarding the hormone tablets, thanks for the advice, it's greatly appreciated.
I found myself quite weepy last night, and reading through the posts and how supportive everyone is helps to know there's a wealth of information out there,
thanks again  <3
