Congratulations on starting HRT, Elena.  I began on July 2, 2002.  It's a day that i won't forget.

Please keep us posted on your progress and feelings, if you desire.

Enjoy each new day!

Hello, Elena,

About two months from now, stop and take note of all of the changes you have undergone.  I call these the "Gifts of Mother Estrogen."

Take particular note of when you start to feel physical changes and what they were.  Mental and emotional changes can start in a few weeks and can be bewildering, but what a ride!

Wishing you well,

Wing Walker
Enjoying the Ride

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the progress.  I can already see just a hint of the fat repositioning on my hips, but i'm pretty skinny so when I gain weight somewhere it's really easy to notice.  Also, my chest is swelled up a bit, but nothing to the point to where I would actually say I have "breasts."  I felt really tired this week, which I hear is fairly common when starting on hormones.  I do, however, have to stop taking the hormones one week prior to my trachea shave in december, which means I'll have to stop at three weeks :-P.
