Ever since I started on a normal dose of E about a week and a half ago my appetite has just been insane. Within 30-60 minutes of eating it feels like my stomach is trying to gnaw through my spine! I expected an increase in my appetite, but not to this degree lol!

I'm hoping it'll calm down eventually, and I've heard that progesterone can help though that is still about a month away.

Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.

I think I gained weight for the 1st couple of weeks of HRT, whereas when I first started on Spiro I lost alot of weight(I think I kinda you know pee'd off like 3 or 4kilos lol), but then thats started to change alot. I'm starting to lose weight pretty fast again(mixed with a diet and alot of walking/riding/running) but wow cravings.....I can only imagine what a cis girl goes through with her cravings but mine are pretty intense and wierd.....I think currently its pickles :P dont ask me why but it is lol :)
Without change, something sleeps inside us
And seldom awakens....

I lost about 50-60lbs before I started on HRT, at the rate I'm going I just might get a lot of it back! :o

When my E levels really increased on injectables and I added progesterone, my appetite normalized. On oral E alone, my appetite was insane and I was very bloated. On very little E, I was also bloated although skinny in general and strong cravings for salt and sugar, especially dark chocolate.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
