Almost 3 months now on estrogel with interesting result. I have gained quite a bit of fat but at the same time lost a lot of muscle and it's about tit for tat so actual weight has stayed the same.  Breast growth is crazy.  Trouble is I had no muscle to start with so lifting things and just doing normal everyday tasks has become difficult.

That's great news!!! :)
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

Seems quick, but very welcomed ;-)
You didn't mention a blocker so if this is estrogen alone I think you are going to be very happy over time

Glad things are moving quickly for you :)

When I started HRT I welcomed losing muscles in my hands but now that it's become really difficult to get certain things done I've decided to do some push ups every day to get a bit of upper strength back. Can always stop them if it gets too much.

I tried lifting something the other day that before I had never had a problem but this time I had to get help.  At first I thought it was stuck but then my boss came over and picked right up.

I used to be able to do normal push-ups no problem, like 10-20 in a row. Now even one is hard to do! I have to do them "female-style" with knees touching the floor.

I know the feeling.  I developed the bingo wing effect and lost 1/2 ish of my upper body strength,  and my boyfriend HATES it since he has to help me all the time :p
