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

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
RION in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns
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
