Omg.. Already three months. :D. What can I expect????

[wannalivethetruth]

I've heard that the third month is when stuff begins to really happen! So I want to know... what have u experienced?

[AbraCadabra]

Itchy boobies, hair (on head) growing out, body hair much reduced and thinner.
Constantly wanting to sing like a birdie :-) or make this C. Aguilera and her girls.

Hoping you're well and coping,

For me it's the opposite, the first months I've experienced the most changes and fastest breast growth, kinda slowed down after that, but still the mones continue to grow my bewbs and give me a mire feminine appeareance, while I didn't notice much change in my libido, I failed to have any semen coming out when I ejaculate (basicly all dry) past the 1 year mark

Four months now, and sore and itchy breasts, which have grown noticeably although the left a fair bit more than the right.

Definite scalp hair regrowth in areas where there was none to speak of  , and body and facial  hair has become sparser and finer. I can no longer use an epilator on my legs as the hair breaks off below the surface. When it was cold and the hair tried to stand up it was unbearably itchy, so I now wax only.

I have had a very small amount of fat redistribution from the upper abdomen to the hips, buttocks and thighs.I have lost some upper body strength and a fair bit of endurance too.

I am a lot more emotionally responsive to things that did not affect me much pre-HRT, and a lot more empathic as well.  I seem to be less interested in the 'Big Picture', and more attuned to personal interest matters.

Total loss of male sex drive , as expected with the end of testosterone production, , and it's replacement by what I can only assume is a female libido.

Hey Karen,

With the scalp hair regrowth where there was none before, is it substantial or negligible? My hair line is receding particularly on one side, there's still hair there, but it's thinned noticeably. Has your regrowth made a noticable difference in your appearance or is it only under close scrutiny that you can see the new hair?

I figure it has to be actual regrowth, rather than regular replacement of naturally shed hairs, as the hair length is right for about 3-4 months of growth.( 3-4 cm.),  and it is thicker compared to photo's from a couple of years ago.  The main thinning was on the top, in two areas between the part  either side and a slightly thicker area in the middle.
It's not a huge amount, but it does seem to be happening.  It could be that HRT has resurrected follicles that were in the process of failing and restarted them,  but either way it means fewer transplants if I decide to try that. 
I am still using my sides and fringe hairpiece (bangs in the US I understand) as there is not enough to do away with that at this stage.
I will be keeping an eye on it to see what the final result is.
If I can get photo's to upload I will try and post some.

Karen.
