Feminization perspectives after 4 years of HRT

[Natalia]

You do look great. At about 2+ years i noticed a lot of change fairly early but less lately other than weight redistribution. I believe my breasts are also continuing to expand but at a slower rate.

From what i have heard, there is real advantage in increasing doses, no matter what point in transition you are at and i have heard of women getting new changes decades later with hormone adjustments.

Thanks for your insight Robyn!    I will keep up some expectations then!

Been on hormones for more than 13 yrs and I can confirm that sometimes, just making a change, like taking a new hormone (progesterone) or increasing your dose of estrogen or changing the route of administration can make a huge difference in how much fat you store, how your face/body looks, breast size, etc. At those low E2 values, I wouldn't expect that much to happen so yea, increasing the dose may help or not, also depends on genetics, your lifestyle, etc.

Also, remember, what you see is not reality but the old 'you', old impressions don't ever die and superimpose on WHAT IS. I can still see the old me, after 13 yrs and I clearly pass as cis so yea. Some days though, I see a girl in the mirror so it also depends but the more I stare in the mirror, the worst it is, LOL.

Hi Natália, good to see you're still around here. I'm Ísis, we met in another Brazilian forum. I'm seeing your post here, so you can imagine where I am at... yep, I am trans.

Per your picture, you're looking really well and I'm glad you hadn't have problems... except your previous doctor, and I hope I won't fall in bad hands too when my time comes.

As others said here, and what I have been researching (at least in a non-professional way) 3 years would be the time you would see most changes considering you're at full dose. Going low dose will probably extend this timeframe. This is why I will insist to my doctor, when I start my HRT, to keep the dose as high as healthily possible.

If you don't mind, may I PM you now and then with questions? Here in BR we have many different processes as far as requirements for treatment, documentation changes, etc. You've been through all this I am sure.

Thanks and I continue to wish you the best!

I think you look lovely, play a bit with make up, a little jewelry and even re do the eye brows and such. In my case the boobs grew more than I ever expected, and then the softening starts happening. Talk to your doctor to see if he can help you reach a 200 estrogen level. But also remember that you already look very female. Good luck, all my best to you.
