first day one HRT...

[chloeD33]

Hey everyone! So today was my first day one spiro! Needless to say a very good day. My doctor has put me on it for now and in a few months will be allowed estrogen! My question to all of you guys is while on Spiro what did you notice and when for: low sex drive, erection loss, facail hair growing slower and well anything else that you had gone through. Thanks xox

[chloeD33]

How fast. To be truthful I am already slot feeling that now...

[chloeD33]

[chloeD33]

Congrats Chloe. Enjoy the ride. It gets much better eventually. Mellowness was the first thing I noticed. Mood swings and slowing down of hair growth were next since I started on low dose to start with. I don't recall when things basically died off down below but it was probably around the 3 to 4 month point since I was on low dose for 6 weeks to start with.

Congrats!

I think you're supposed to get cookies or something.

[chloeD33]

Thanks y'all. I just can't wait to get ball rolling! How bad are mood swings?

[Mariah]

They haven't seemed bad to me, but my mom who I take care of might beg to differ on that point. Hugs

[Rachel]

I do not have mood swings.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with emotions and cry very hard. When done I feel much better and generally find the answer to my issue.   

[chloeD33]

Omg I need that. I just get worked up and give up. In would much rather cry and move forth

[chloeD33]

However, when I do get E what should in expect from that... The t blockers are already working, slightly but I feel it!!

So how do you feel?  The one thing I have noticed that since taking Spiro, things are starting to..um..seem smaller.  That and I have to go to the bathroom.

I have been on both E and Spiro for two weeks now and quite honestly, I don't think I feel much of anything. I did have itchy nipples for a little bit. 

[MugwortPsychonaut]

Fewer erections will probably be the first thing you notice. You'll probably lose the perpetual urge to masturbate. Spironolactone is a diuretic, so be sure to drink lots and lots of water. For me, the first week was a battle to stave off headaches from dehydration. This will pass, but keep drinking water! Also, be sure to masturbate regularly, at least twice a week. Keep those kiegel muscles in good shape, and your orgasms will get really good.

After a month on spiro, I had girl nipples. I don't think this is the norm, though.

Edit: Congratulations on taking this big step!

Thanks ladies! I'm just so glad my sex drive has gone down! And I feel so much more mellow... Already on day two
