I was really sleepy for a week or so starting really soon after the patch.

[stephaniec]

yea, deep sleep

[EllieM]

For me, it was a feeling of calm. I felt a lot less agitated.

No more random erections, that's about all I've noticed in the couple weeks I've been on HRT. I still feel pretty much the same otherwise.

Relief.  Deeply felt relief, and a great calm.

[Jenna Marie]

Congrats! I started with patches, too. Aside from the deep sense of relief to finally be *doing* this - the first thing I noticed was major breast tenderness and some slight but visible growth in the first week.

[E-Brennan]

You all make it sound rather dull!  Sleep?

I'll soon be joining you all on the hormone journey, and I hope more than anything else it brings a sense of calm.  But sleep works too.  I love me some good sleep.

[TaoRaven]

Congrats

Yeah...I sleep like a baby...until I roll over onto my belly, or otherwise mash my poor tender chest. At about 5 weeks they started growing....and are growing FAST.

First changes though...calm...and a feeling that finally, everything was as it should be. I wasn't fighting with myself to be myself...I felt "correct". It's hard to explain.

Since then I have gained an amazing youthful energy, and a nearly perpetual happiness that borders on bliss.

I wish so much that I had never been cursed with the touch of testosterone.
