Did you like Estrogen more than you thought you would?

[Girl Power]

When i started estrogen i guess i was hoping for some changes and clearing of my mind. Ive been estrogen now for 10 months, as of  yesterday, and I can say that Ive never felt more true to my self or more in touch with my mind and emotions. For me it was like everything suddenly made sense and any confusion i had left disappeared. I now feel like I'm discovering who the the real me is. Its kind of exciting and scary at the same time. So in short estrogen for me has been a blessing and i never thought it would be as good as it was been

PS Having breasts is great too

E may not be magical, but what it does for the mental well being of a woman seems to be enormous. It had a serious beneficial impact on my mental state, as it should!  Hormones play a huge role in your life even if they seem invisible.

I am noot addicted to hormones, there is no such thing as an addiction to hormones.  But I couldn't live without it after knowing how my body feels when its more estrogen aligned than testosterone aligned. 

All besides the wonderful breasts its made me sprout and them hips, dat booty.  The more intense "feelings" it gave me if you catch my drift also hehe.

I didn't know what to expect.  What I found was:

My work has improved in quality and quantity.
I feel waaaaay better than I have in years.
I sleep better.
Sometimes sex is better, sometimes it's not.
I feel more alive.
I was very driven, very intense.  Now, I'm more laid back but getting more done. 

I went to yet another super special urologist Monday.  He wanted to take me off E and put me back on T because he is concerned about the rather rapid physical changes.  When my wife, who was not for me taking E, heard this, she literally yelled "NO!".  Evidently I'm also quite a bit more fun.

I knew it'd be great, and I also knew it would do almost nothing for depression or other mental health issues (i.e., social anxiety disorder, etc)

I was not disappointed about either. I love, love, love the body effects of E, and the mental effects (calming, reduction of anxiety primarily) of it...however I am still "stuck" with the traumas and PTSD I had before, but it has been reduced a little bit: Before, I was trying desperately to be "one of the guys" and hoping they didn't see through my charade (which is how I saw it)...now, I don't care because, well, it's obvious that I am NOT a "guy", so they can't hold me to their standards...and if they don't want to see me as a woman, tough frikkin' titties, fellas.

I'm woman enough for me, and my friends...so yeah, I like E.

Been on HRT for 5 months... only thing I liked alot that I didn't expect is reading smut can now give me really good feelings in chest and stomache area.

Actually I felt terrible the first few months on hormones. I liked the physical effects but it amplified the anxiety and depression I had at the time. It took a few months for things to settle down. I remember talking to Dr Curtis about it and he said he felt the same on testosterone to begin with.

I've only been on low dosage HRT for about 10 days, but I can already feel the changes!  My skin is much softer all over! My mind is a bit more at ease!  And, as someone had mentioned earlier, my orgasms are a different and more intense.  How is change this fast possible?  Does this seem a lil quick to anyone else?

Like you I've been on the low dosage HRT (E+Spiro) for 1 week. The first few days I had the sensation of skin becoming softer, less of unwanted erection down there but more on the girls. But the effect seem to have subsided for now except smoother skin. Taking the suggestion from reading other posts in this forum, I don't want to get my hopes high and just let nature (+E) takes it's course.

I love it,  I felt on top of the world when I took my first dose just over 2 years ago.

I felt excited when my nipples starting getting sensitive and nipples began to swell as I knew my boobies were starting to grow. My body took to the hormones very well and I felt sensitivity in my nipples very early on.

I am really enjoying this journey, I felt very satisfied and happy when I began hormones and had a sense of well being. This was the right move.

Horomones have blessed me with feminine waist, C cup breasts and better skin.

I am more emotional and also I was a lesbian before horomones, now 2 years in, I seem to notice guys too. I am now bisexual. I am actually now kinda seeing a guy (nothing serious), but dating.

I am a girlie girl, and love all the typical girlie female appeals.. shoes, makeup, doing my nails etc.

My roommate said to me, she cant believe how much of a girl I am... (She is a g-girl).. I was so happy

I've been on estrogen for 6 months, and I've seen nothing but positive changes... More than I anticipated. I couldn't be happier

When your depressed or anxious about things in life, I find E can make it worst.  I got a serious crash course when my relationship failed.  But it was a good lesson in learning to cope with issues as a woman.

My endo appointment is now days away. Getting that script filled is literally all I can think about. Not kidding. I wake up thinking about it it!!!

[AbbyJamz]

I know it seems like that changes after only 10 days is a bit far fetched, but I'm QUITE positive it's not a placebo effect! Even if it was, I don't mind, as long as things continue to be awesome and get even better! 

[Samantha L]

Cheers to that

Just think: If it's this awesome when having a placebo effect...just wait till the real thing starts kicking in!! Enjoy it, either way!!

At the same time...have patience!

It aint placebo, nor is it wierd at all    Our brains are wired differently and have been missing that strong link since puberty probably.

Last year when taking estro and spiro, I became unable to function sexually after three days, at least like I normally did, so I know it effects us and it hits hard and fast. Visible feminization obviously takes longer, but I would say complete sexual shutdown is a major effect, especially so fast. I was astounded. So much so I stopped because of that and some other effects like a bad bad headache (prob dehydration from the spiro). But I went in kinda unsure about it all so maybe I shoulda waited. Now I'm much more sure and am going to take a lower starting dose of spiro and a slightly lower dose of estro.  I'm hoping for big changes but we'll see. I'm already pretty docile and non-aggressive so any calming effects would mainly be anxiety-related.
