Hello there! I might have to start this post by sharing a couple of things about myself: my name's April, I'm Colombian, I just turned 18 years old two weeks ago and I'm hitting my 2-month-mark on HRT in exactly 3 days.
Right off the bat, I really wish I would've known that anyone could post here a couple of months ago. Anyway, I guess I am being a little bit dramatic, and I need you guys to tell me if I am, or perhaps the reasons behind are worth-worrying.
So, I finished a 1 year treatment with Roaccutane around 5 months ago. I did suffer from severe cystic acne throughout my male puberty. Roaccutane indeed helped me heaps, though I couldn't say that I didn't get any breakout after quitting; however, I'd say that the breakouts were more associated with small red zits that lasted no more than 3 days.
3 months after, I found myself being very frustrated and miserable for non being able to start my HRT due to the terrible medical insurance I have got here in Colombia. That's how I decided to reach some trans friends and acquaintances, and asked them to guide me until I could see a private endo. <Dosages are not allowed> The first month was a complete nightmare in terms of my acne that was supposed to be already cured. After the first 2 weeks of being on hormones my face literally exploded. I then was having the same self-esteem issues I dealed with back in the days. Because I didn't know what to do and none of the trans people I knew, nor the ones in the internet went through the same things through which I went, I decided to <Dosages and self-medication are not allowed>.
This second month my face has gotten so much better, I still get zits and small breakouts but nothing like the ones I got last month. Breast growth is happening quite normal though: they feel tender and sensitive so I've assumed that those are great signs based on what some of you guys have exposed over here. Haven't noticed so much fat distribution yet but then I guess that I'm on a very low dosage of estrogen.
My major concern at the moment are the "wet dreams" and "morning woods" that I've been experiencing lately. I must admit that they do not happen every night but once in a while. Are these bad signs? Should I be concerned? Is it okay if my libido hasn't decreased dramatically in two months? I'm seeing an endo in 3 weeks. So much love and light all the way from Colombia xoxo.
