Can Hormones Stop Working?

Well with T and lots of food and sleep; you can continue to build muscle mass well into your 50's; so you got some good, long term options for FTM's if you don't mind lifting weights.    Nothing says "guy" quite like a 17"+ muscular neck.

nb... your avatar pick is pretty darn masculine as is though,  tat sleeve's a good touch.

Sure, of course. I still see changes to my face and other subtle things though, 7 years on. Body hair and such.

And thanks--been getting tattooed since 1991

Traditionally, women would have much less cycles during their lifetimes, being pregnant and breastfeeding most their lives. It's even been suggested that the high number of cycles in women these days are one of the reasons there is an increase in breast cancer incidence. In the old days, breast cancer was rare in women, while most frequent in nuns who had many more cycles.

Understood, KayXo.  What I am referring to is the growth phase of life and the first few years of adulthood that determine how your body will turn out as a natal woman.

Something doesn't feel right. For the past week I have seemed to be very calm.  Today I took my Spiro earlier earlier than usual.  But after work 8 hours later.  I didn't feel like the calm me, I couldn't even think properly.  (so many chitter chatter in my mind and always thinking).  I felt like my pre hrt self.  Why did I all of the sudden have this boost of energy? why couldn't I just clearly think.  Is it possible stress??  I do have a lot going on in the next 3 days trying to plan and work out a few things with my 2 jobs with secdueling.  Will stress affect us, and change everything?

During that phase of life, growth hormone levels are also higher and the body is much more sensitive to hormones.
