Hello friends, my name is Aria, I'm new here to Susan's, and I thought I'd make a post talking about my experiences with HRT.
Currently, I'm 21 years old, my birthday is slowly creeping up on me
I'm mixed race, about 5'5", always been super girly and loves makeup and all that jazz.
I transitioned when I was about 14 and had been taking stupid things like saw palmetto and phyto estrogens at age 15 and eventually taking real hormones illegally at age 16 via the web.
The phyto estrogens made my skin softer and made me fill out more on my arms and my chest and my pockets on the side of my butt fill out.
The hormones I obtains illegally at 16, which I don't recommend btw, it made my breast form and start the whole budding process. I had those big nipples for a while actually, for about 6 months. I graduated high school at 17. My breast then started to fill out and gave me an A cup. My favorite thing the hormones did was make the skin on my face super soft and clear and acne free. I loved having flawless skin way more than having boobs lol.
When I was 18, I met my first trans girl friend, and she introduced me to this hospital that helped trans patients and I met my now primary care physician and he prescribed hormones for me. I've been pretty much on the same does since then, so 4 years. The changes I noticed while looking at old pictures of me, proved to be that my upper lip filled out a lot and my lips are a lot more feminine even though they were pretty feminine to begin with, they were just small. Now they even out. Next, my nose has gotten smaller through HRT I've noticed. The shape of my nose is still the same, but the width and upturn on it is smaller and more feminine. My eyebrows seem more closer together making my forehead appear narrower. My boobs are still small, about a B cup now. MY BUTT!!!! That's the biggest change I've noticed. When I was 14-18 I was really petite and skinny. Now that I'm 21, I'm a lot curvier and have much wider hips and much bigger butt and fatter arms
my waist is still tiny though.
When I was 15 I was 5'4" 115 lbs. now 7 years later, I'm 5'5" 148 lbs
My favorite thing HRT has done for me: clear skin, boobs.
I think because I was always a late bloomer and I started taking hormones early, I didn't develope an Adam's apple and I'm thankful for that. I do want to have chin and brow bone shave though.
I'm thankful to have met my physician because taking hormones from the web is pretty dangerous.
Anyone else want to share their HRT experience?
