Thank you so much for the information as far as taste and smell goes it has changed but I also quit smoking like a couple weeks before I started estrogen so I'm trying to getting a double dose of the taste and smell differences

@Arianna Valentine As has been stated over and over here on the Forums... and by me in many of my comments on various posts, HRT will work uniquely in your unique body.
What you read about other transtioning members experiences with HRT most likely will not be your own experiences.
Some will experience more significant changes more quickly and then some will experience less significant changes more slowly.... it is all up to your genes and how your body reacts to the HRT. Your doctor will be looking at your frequent blood test results to determine if any alterations in the HRT regimen are needed.
You have probably already heard here on the forums regarding HRT and how it may work for various individuals is "YMMV" meaning that Your Mileage May Vary.
PATIENCE is absolutely required, usually not much happens very quickly with HRT, but changes will happen. Do some reading of other transitioners posts and look many of the posted HRT timelines and the before and after pictures. .... they can give you a rough idea of what you MIGHT expect.
Hang on for an amazing ride.
We are here to rejoice with you in the good times and to support you in the not so good times.
One more time.... PATIENCE is required. The attitude of many people today is "I want it all and I want it now" ... that will not apply to HRT.
Hugs and well wishes... we will be looking for your updates as you feel free to post them.
