Observations of my first two weeks HRT.

[DawnOday]

 I am beginning to feel positive effects like my nipples being more sensitive to touch, in fact this morning I was touching them and I had an orgasm. It was incredible. Much more pleasurable than masterbating. Mostly because it was repeatable after a few minutes.  I am nicer more considerate to others instead of flying off the handle over the silliest stuff. I feel super sexy when walking down the stairs in bra and panties. I am beginning to see my tall, slim, body as an asset rather than looking at 300 lbs of disgust. I have worked very hard having lost 80 lbs. so far. This is not due to hormones but it sure makes me aware. For the first time in my life I feel I have a future and want to live until I[m 85. I'm tending to look past the wrinkles of which I am fortunate I don't have many. However the slumping jowls are a problem. I wish I were young enough for ffs and grs. But reincarnation baby. So far the hormones  have mostly altered my mind and has taken to female hormones like life is picking up where it left off in utero. Any similar experience for you?

No one will be exactly the same, but its amazing how similar the initial experience of MTF hrt is.  It actually frightened me to the extent that I stopped the first time; thought something had to be wrong.    Once the noise came back, I acknowledged that continuing to try to live that way was idiotic, and resumed the hrt, having to put up with an extra two weeks of obnoxious noise I think of it as penance for being a coward.

Where ever it leads in the future, the feminine brain that is in my skull will not be getting dunked in T ever again.

This sounds familiar.  Stepping out of the darkness and into the light is an amazing experience.

What blows my mind is that this is how most people normally are, compared to the state I lived in for decades.  I rather like it here, and really don't want to go back. (So, I won't!). The mind and body eventually start to calm down as this become the 'new normal', but it is a really nice normal.

And yeah, orgasm is amazing.  I had my first on HRT during a really good steak dinner, triggered by how good everything tasted, the textures of the food, and my newly fired up endocrine system.

Heck, I feel like my senses are turned up to 11 now.  The wife and I were out at dinner at a Ruth's Chris steak house last night.  Now, I've been on a severely restricted sodium diet until I started spironolactone.  Now, I can eat anything.  I was happy and posted the other day about eating a spinach salad and bagels, which I though was wonderful.  Last night I had a strawberry salad, filet mignon, and their 'Thanksgiving pie" sweet potato with pecan crust side.  Oh... My... Goddess...  I thought that was so good, and kept tasting the steak and the sweet potatoes, while trying to explain to my wife why I felt so very good, and was enjoying the meal.  I'm pretty sure the patch was still delivering E.  My nipples got hard, my tiny breastlets were aching, and I thought I was going to explode, from a darn steak and side dish!

Well, I THINK that was what it was...

Whew that's good. I was thinking a lot of it was wishful thinking on my part. I have a Ruth's Chris in Seattle, If it does that to you, I think i'll go there,

Hi, 
I wondered if you are gradually increasing dosage or are you starting with a higher dose? I gradually increased my dose so I did not see anything as dramatic as you state. I had breast soreness for 7 months until it suddenly stopped. I had to get off of them for 6 weeks for surgery. Since restarting, I am pleased to see they are somewhat sore again. I am on hormones for 14 months now. I returned to work recently as Moni. I had  two people talk to me and tell others that they no longer saw my male incarnation in me any more, at all. I tell you this because it might be something that you will experience as you are on them for a while. I am a completely transformed person, mentally. I never thought it was possible. I think you only have good things to look forward to.

I am following your progress with interest and am glad you're now on the road to fulfillment.

One question - I love the new avatar - is it the real you or more of the fruits of your computer wizardry?
