Allyda, That is so nice to read. Great for you GF.
HRT feels just great as you know, it's so much more normal. I'm sure glad for you that there was not too much bad t stuff.
For me I'm trying my best however that's all I can do. I have some nice feminine features, small feet, small hands, 5' 9", nice face, voice is feminine & always has been/passable. But several others like hair in the wrong places & not enough on the top of my head just gives me fits!! All I can do is take my HRT & relax, work in my garden, enjoy life as best I can. 
Francis I had what the Dermatologist called a "feminine hair loss pattern" (I still have my hairline, but lost hair in patches on the top left side of my head), while I never went completely bald in those places I was down to about 25% of hair left. But hrt?, hrt has began to rethicken those areas plus the hair on my entire head, and I have new growth in those areas. While I don't suspect I'll get all 100% back as this had been happening for some time (10 years) and I can't tell you how many times I cried myself to sleep over it. The Doctor I had at the time wouldn't help me -not even with finasteride. He just kept ordering blood test after blood test until I felt like a pin cushion trying to find a cause. I finally got fed up and got another Doctor and started my hrt and within 3 days the hair loss stopped dead in it's tracks. I knew then that my body had been starving for estrogen and such for all it's life, and as I got older the evil DHT got the upper hand a little. The Avodart stopped it though, and I'm now getting my hair back and also, it's growing longer again like it used to -very fast mind you too. My hrt has done wonders for me in the short time I've been on it and I have more energy, my mind's at rest, I look forward to each day, and I feel like I'm 30 again (20 years younger!).
So just hang in there girl, your hrt just might hold a few suprises for you in the hair department yet. I've even known a few girls who were worse off than I ever was who regained alot of lost hair after starting hrt. It did take a little time though, but it can happen. And you have all my prayers that it will.
Me I hate my nose -it's too big for my small face, lol!, and the scars on my face from an aircraft accident I suffered in 91. I have hope though for I've saw more than a few noses shrink from hrt in the before and after threads.
