Your biggest body change on hormones?

[PurpleWolf]

What is the biggest change you've had in your body since starting HRT?

You can list as many things as you like, as always!

Has HRT had a dramatic effect on your body?

Are there some things that were a pleasant surprise you didn't expect to happen so much?

Are there things (even small ones) that you especially like?

Did your body shape and/or face change a lot?

The gross stomach hair; my god! Came from nowhere within just a few months of starting T and now it grows back just a day after shaving it off. WTF

And then there's how stocky/muscular I'm getting! Like I never imagined I'd get this broad 

And don't get me started on the change to my hairline  or finding the odd dark hair in my back

I thought it was sexy,  . Always wanted a string of hair beneath my navel.
Not a fan of bushy chest though

But isn't that a good thing  !

!!! (Back hair would be the worst......!!!)

1) Skin, dry and soft with a layer of fat under it. It looks and feels younger.
2) Body shape - a work in progress but curvier and definitely feminine
3) Breasts!
4) Muscle tone and strength - much reduced even after just three months
5) Scalp - no more dandruff
6) I look younger by 5-10 years.
7) Weight is falling off and my appetite is so small I have to make myself eat.

Feel free to have it then 

Some days I really like how manly my body looks other days I think god I look so big can't I be slimmer; no winning   

And I will be getting laser hair removal if I start getting proper back hair; it isn't happening to me

Boobs.  The biggest psychologically.  Also the biggest in terms of volume, though they are actually pretty small.
Fuller lips.
Something about my eyes, though I'm not quite sure what.
Softer skin.
Even less body hair.  I didn't start with much.
Rate of hair loss on my head is about half what it was.
Hair is curlier and has more body.
Reduction in upper body strength.  Like body hair, I didn't start with that much.
Some redistribution of fat to my hips and thighs.

Strange you mentioned about the hair. My barber said my hair has gotten wavier/curlier since starting T. Also noticed it's a bit thicker although my hair type has remained unchanged

Oh wow. There have been a lot of changes. Some of them I didn't expect and hadn't even thought of.

The biggest change is my orgasms and the route to getting there. Both are much different than before HRT. And my sex drive has really changed. I don't get turned on nearly as easy. It takes kissing and petting to get me to the point I start to get intetested in actual sex. Even being turned on is different. Before hrt when I got turned on it was only in one spot. Now I feel it equally in my boobs. HRT also totally stopped hard ons and shrunk things. Thank god!

Another obvious change is that I developed boobs. One surprise with that is how sensitive my nipples became.

My body odors have changed. I mentioned that in another thread. I'm also much more sensitive to smells. The smell of male sweat is arousing to me now.

I have to be careful about gaining weight. Since HRT I gain weight much easier. I do get a little bitter because my dad, brother and boyfriend can eat anything they want and they all still have a six pack. Totally not fair!

My hair has gotten thicker and softer. My pubic hair changed too. It's much softer and it's not curly anymore. That was a big surprise.  I had no idea male and female pubes were different.  I never had much body hair but the hair on my legs has become softer and lighter. Oh, and that little trail of hair guys have on their stomach,  totally hot!

My skin has become softer but I also bruise much easier now. Once I got bruises on my wrists from Tristan holding my arms over my head while we were fooling around. It didn't hurt but it did bruise. Of course my dad and Tyler noticed it and I had to make them understand it was accidental before they killed Tristan. My skin has also become much more sensitive which is good and bad. I'm much more sensitive to being touched which is nice but also have become even more ticklish than I was which sucks. But certain things annoy the crap out of me now like tags in clothes, undergarments with stiff lace and even the way some blankets feel. I have an Afghan my grandma knitted and I always used it when it was cold. Now I can't stand the way it feels. It feels all itchy and course and annoys the crap out of me.

I've never liked the cold but I'm much less tolerant to cold than I used to be. I get cold much easier than I used to.

I can't really say if HRT has made me weaker.  I have never been very strong to begin with.

And finally my hips and but have filled out. I am more comfortable sitting in certain chairs. Before HRT my butt was flat as a ironing board. I had no padding at all and sitting in a hard chair or a hard surface hurt. I don't have a really big butt or anything but I at least have some padding back there.

What an awesome post again, Julia  !
I love the way you give so detailed anwers, yet funny/entertaining!
Actually I wanted to comment on that 'what being a woman feels like' thread (your post, I mean).... It was so damn awesome! Especially the dog collar part made me laugh so bad,  ! I'm like - what have I been missing out on for not having guy friends??! Not to mention a few other things..... 

You know what - through you I start to understand my SO a little better,  !

Omg - I just have to comment on this one!

It takes kissing and petting to get me to the point I start to get intetested in actual sex. Even being turned on is different. Before hrt when I got turned on it was only in one spot. Now I feel it equally in my boobs. HRT also totally stopped hard ons and shrunk things. Thank god!

You know what, it's funny you know I'm not on T, right? Yet... All I need to get turned on is to see a pretty girl or someone mentioning the word sex  ! And that pulling my junk would totally work too  ! I'm like really blunt in a way like 'do you wanna have sex? or not?' - Each time someone brings it up to me, I'm ready for it, day or night! I also just mainly feel it in one spot... my junk I mean Definitely not anywhere else (like in my chest)!!

Actually I'm waiting for T to make me more horny  ! I feel somewhat lethargic as if I was lacking energy... or some essence  ! I feel I should be much more energetic in general & have stronger sexual urges or something. It's very interesting to see what will happen to me on T,  .

My body odors have changed. I mentioned that in another thread. I'm also much more sensitive to smells. The smell of male sweat is arousing to me now.

Interesting...! Totally cannot relate  !

Wow. For real! My SO is sensitive to everything, like fabric!!! I just don't get it! Once she had slipped a book under my pillow for some reason. I slept on it & didn't notice. In the morning she was asking me where I put that book, and I was like 'what book? what are you talking about?!' And she was like - the book that I put under your pillow yesterday!!! And I was like - whatta ****ing book - there was no book! - And there it was.... under that pillow,  !!! So there. I'm not ehm... very sensitive to touch! (btw it was a harry potter - so a big one,  ! might have been no 5.... ) - Oh, did I mention that I started the morning by acknowledging out loud how peacefully & well I had slept  ?!

Really, really interesting...

I'd say the increase in musculature. I was always fairly strong for size but within a month of HRT you could see the difference, and I wasn't working out at the time at all. For comparison, I live with a cis dude the exact same height as me - I could absolutely smash him at arm wrestling or any other kind of wrestling or strength contest before, and now it's even easier. I suddenly had a lot of muscle growth and with the added weight behind it it's pretty shocking the difference. He tends to avoid playfighting because he knows I'll win with embarrassing ease, lol. So now he just likes to rib about my "hairy beastness".

Yeah, the hair. I grew plenty of that too. It takes a little getting used to, being a satyr.
