Hips

[AndromedaVox]

Hey this is a question I have for MTFs who have been on hormones.

Okay, so I was on hormones for 3 years before surgery, then I went off of them for 3 years, and I started again in August so I've been on them for a couple of months.

I am happy with my breasts and fairly happy with my butt, but I would really like to have more fat distribution in the hip department. I think hips are really attractive, and also really help in terms of looking like a woman I think. Can any of you speak to your experiences in terms of hip development while on HRT? Since I am restarting hormones do you think it's possible that I could see some more fat distribution in that area?

Thanks!

I got some fat redistribution but not a significant amount. I think most of us don't unless you start HRT before puberty does it's damage. But I could be wrong.

What jen said

It is possible to have esthetic surgeries to improve the area, but HRT won't give ya much hips.

I've only been on HRT for three months, and while I certainly do not have the amazing curves I'd love to have, there is a noticeable hourglass shape starting to form that even others have commented on without my asking, and I have gained 1" in my overall hip size.  I'm not sure the specifics of why some get results and others don't, but perhaps body shape prior to HRT plays a part?  I am a very skinny person and was even pre-HRT, so I don't think I had much body fat to redistribute.  My theory is that since I've been on HRT, I've been attempting to gain weight so perhaps instead of HRT causing fat to redistribute (as again, there was none), it's simply going right where it's supposed to be.  But hell, I dunno.

Makes sense.

I was lucky enough to start off in a good place due to my bone structure, but I've only gained an inch on HRT. 9 1/2 months in so I could see more happen, dunno.

[Bird]

Well mine have increased and rounded up some too.

What I tried to say is it won't give you large very feminine hips.

[JadeS]

my waist went from 32" down to 24" and my hips from 31" up to 33". 1 year and 2 months on hrt. I'm pretty happy with it.

[lilacwoman]

I also got the slimmed down waist at about 3 months but I only got decent hips when I let my weight climb a bit.

[Joeyboo~ :3]

3 mos. for me so far and my hips are popping out o.o
It was a nice surprise to look at in the mirror right before shower time.

[Bird]

I decided to start working out to feminize my body further. HRT only goes so far if we don't work for our bodies as well.

Like all women, by the way.

[starbright]

^Hey, does working out help to feminize our bodies when on hormones? I have never heard of that before, would be great to know.

[Bird]

If you work your lower body muscles, they will get bigger and you will have more well rounded legs and hips.

Hormones affect everyone differently.

some people will blossom drastically.

and others wont much.

best to look at your mom or sisters. thats usually how you end up

That's not always true.
My body shape is starting to resemble the females on my dad's side of the family.
I get pretty much everything from him.

Its not always true but it is most of the time lol. i resemble my sister and mom to a t.

[Bird]

My mom and dad are shorties, I'm taller than both of them lol.

I think I look more like the females from my dad's side though, both face and body wise. That means I will be thin and will always have problems to put up muscles or fat.

It was like this before HRT too, btw. No matter how much I worked out, I -would- get strenght gains but no visible muscle.

What Bird said.

Look into the types of exercises that ice skaters/hockey players do. Than start roller bladeing.

  Hip development from HRT depends on a few factors, age, genetics, and body shape. Some people try'n and say that after puberty ends (around age 24-25 for males) that bone structure completely fuses together thus no growth bone wise after this point - not true. I've seen alot of hip growth after starting HRT and i'm 25!
