Hello

new to this forum

on my journey to transforming. very happy about this choice. 25 yrs young lol
So next week I start on T.B's. can I get some feedback on what I should expect on a weekly basis. Also what physical changes did you notice as time passed.

Any advice I could keep in mind?

Any HRT takes time.  Don't expect miracles overnight.  Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions.

Mmmmm physical changes to expect.... Believe it or not, judging by an informal poll of other TGs in my group, taste. You start craving all things vinegar.

As for the other totally expected stuff, I never been on an AA alone without E. For me the first changes was how my very oily skin started to dry up and stopping smelling like some guy. By about month 3 was when the hormone effects really started becomming noticeable between tender nips and floppy morning wakeups, and more.

I was on spiro only for about a year. Sex drive was lowered as was body hair growth. Had a small amount of breast buds type development (I was totally flat chested) but nothing anyone else would really notice. It also got rid of male aggressiveness too. I liked all of the changes. To be honest adding E just gave me some boobs, skin refinement fat moving around etc, I really don't feel any diff from just being on AA.

  my doctor tells me I will be on T.B for at least few months.

I'm so very excited but also very weary.

Did any of you's feel the emotional affect's being on T.B? Or was more when you start on E?

Here's a lil info about me.

Samoan is my heritage. Parent's are from That country. They migrated to New Zealand in the
early 80's. Settled into the Western way of life and had/raised their children here. I'm one of three. Having two sister's. Growing up always knew what and who I was. Fa'afafine is the norm in Samoan culture, so I thought that's what I was all these years, and I'm proud to still refer to that title as it's seen as an acceptable role in my people/heritage.

Just recently I started not to enjoy just being a "very feminine girly guy" Always dressed and appeared as a female, most my life. I kinda always knew that I wanted to be more than this. Soo a few months ago I went and saw my gp explaining my situation.

I have not seen a therapist, as I think they can tell I'm the right candidate for this treatment. And
I'm very pleased about this. I just feel I didn't just wakeup one morning and goo 'heeey I want to be a woman' noo I've always lived this life pre hormones and even when I'm on my journey.

AND i'm very pleased to be on here now also.

Although I have loads of support and even know a few Trans sister's. It's always nice to get "others"
opinions and life transitioning.

Like I posted, I was on spiro only for a little over a year and it did change my "emotional" outlook. I stress less about small things, don't get pissed off nearly as easily etc. I've been on E too for a little over 6 months and really don't feel any further changes beyond I might be a little dingier/more silly about things?  That could easily just be from being happier than I have ever been too. None of it was like night and day changes in my personality, still enjoy the same things etc. Don't expect to like, take some pills and suddenly have an interest in cooking and knitting.

No kidding,  ever since starting HRT I have always had this hankering for a Blimpees Best, with extra vinegar.  I thought it was just me xD

TB feminizes more than E alone based on what I have seen with my own 2 eyes. But you need TB and E together to really see major feminization as well as major mental benefits.  But its a start! and blocking T is a good start.  Since your taking it without E, expect your libido to tank pretty hard. 

Expect hair regrowth(although not 100% for all), expect slight feminization.

I would have been happy with even 1%. Oh wait I need to qualify that. 1% which does not include in my ears
