Best of luck, MissKairi! Still remember that day like it was yesterday. Soon you'll feel the mighty power of girl's juice and one day you'll wake up thinking "MissKairi, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!"

Big hugs, Sarah

Congratulations and good luck!

The first thing you'll notice is your skin becoming a bit softer and your smile a bit wider.  Then as the dosage is increased breast buds form and you'll begin to pay attention to anything that might bump them, and you will be intensely aware if they get bumped.  I call that painful magic. 

Enjoy,
Julie

What a great day in the neighborhood for you, Kairi. I remember my first HRT meds. it's signified the start of a new life.

You may want to remove the dosage info though before a moderator does it for you.

Congratulations girl.

Hugs,

[JinnieY]

Fantastic! I still remember the first day I got my mones and I was so excited and couldn't fall asleep for the night!

[Dan]

Awesome!

I didn't notice anything in the first 24 hours ( apart from a very sore butt), but after 31 hours I did notice that my skin tasted more alkaline , and my hands were less dry than before.

It's now 5 days and I did discover a lot of fluff around my side burn areas. Not sure if that was there before since I didn't spend much time looking at my face until now. I decided to shave it off to give myself a baseline to measure against any new growth.

I also noticed a thin dark streak of hairs along the top of my eyebrows. I have fair, almost ruddy skin, and not much in the eyebrow department, so this did catch my attention.

You too might discover a few subtle things in the next week or so, or maybe not. It will take time, but that's the fun part: the anticipation.

Happy Rebirth!

Thanks Dan .
Actually thank you all

So far I feel no different...at all.
But got to give it time.

I felt a minor euphoria for like the first week that I started.  It was probably psychosomatic but I still enjoyed it. I am approaching my 2-year mark on HRT and I can say that the changes have been amazing but physical changes have been minor which has left me confused.  Like you I began HRT with pills.

The changes I have experienced so far are the following: lessening of body hair, softer skin, a little fat redistribution.  I would say my breasts got to an a cup.  Unfortunately one breast was more Fuller than the other.  Both of them are still very cone shaped and have no roundness to them.  After a year-and-a-half these results frustrated me because I expected just a little bit different.

I switched injections about 2 months ago.  Now I'm probably a small b cup. Still cone shaped but I noticed that I'm starting to equalize and I hope to get a little Fuller.  I noticed a definite difference between pills and injections. I have also begin to lose weight instead of gaining it.

I wish you a ton of luck and hope that your changes swiftly and abundantly.

Congratulations, this is indeed a big step.  For me within the first week or so I noticed a change in the odor of my sweat (it all but disappeared).  I also noticed I got a little more moody.  Beyond that I didn't notice much for the first 2.5 months.  However, my therapist assured me at each bi-weekly session that she could see subtle differences in my face.  At 2.5 months it was like someone flipped a switch, my nipples got sore, my skin got much softer and I started to notice some gradual changes in my face. 

I'd say taking a picture everyday is probably overkill, even weekly might be discouraging because the differences from week to week are pretty hard to detect.  However, monthly is what I've been doing and has been good so far.  I can see definitive changes in each subsequent month.

Good luck girl and keep us up to date on how things go.
