Hi all,
I've been busy at work lately, not being able to log on much. Anyway I just wanted to say a big thanks to all the kind people here at Susan's who have supported me through this whole process. Today is day 21 and am really, really happy about it, thanks to all of you. For the curious ones, here are the changes:
- Softer face, my GF, mom and a friend said I have a softer looking face, something around the eyes and cheeks. I see them puffier and way softer. Wee!
- Tummy/hips. Starting from day 10, I started taking on weight and it's been going to my face, butt, and hips area in a femenine pattern. While am still slim, the fat around the belly and hips look more femenine, in a different, girlier shape. My GF noticed that too.
- Breasts. They are not noticeable to the naked eye but since day 3 I started feeling weird things around the nipples and it gets painful ocassionally. Quite a bit but not as much as other people here describe. In bed, it's really mind-healing to feel them, and cool!
- I feel more confident and in control of my affairs, I've also got more of a backbone in discussions I've spoken out my mind more often and firmer than usual, and I like the results at home and at work, things roll a lil smoother.
- Avoided a lot of potential fights with my GF, we used to argue a lot and now somehow at moments where I'd go raging mad I'd just get kind of angry, shut up for a couple mins, take some deep breaths, and settle things in a calm, civilized way. That's kind of soothing to not go through those arguments and feel like you settled them in a mature way and avoided hurting yourself and others. Cool!
- Am less dysphoric, despite having a lower sex drive, somehow I find myself having sex with my GF a few times a week up from a couple times a month, that's a x5 increase! She's happy about it. So am I, I never got to really enjoy sex before and always felt weird with it, not so much now.
All in all, I think it's been going great and since am already seeing changes, I am going to start doing lots of exercice, cardio and resistance for legs/waist area and doing a healthy yo-yo process with my weight and see what happens. Ideally it should help enhance the hormones effect. Hopefully in the end I can kind of balance out the wide shoulders with not so modest waist or breasts...!
