After 5 weeks of being on HRT I am feeling really good about myself. I always wonder if these patches were working or am I just going nowhere fast. Well these past days I have notives noticeable pain, not severe but noticeable in my nipples. Now I know that the HRT is working. I thought maybe the low dosage was too low and doubted its ability to do anything.  I know my well being has improved but I can contribute that to the fact that I am acknowledging who I really am and am taking action on this. But to see and feel physical actions really affirms that I'm on my way to who I am. And this is where I belong. I've come so far, and yrs I know I have many more miles to go in my journy, but this is my first sign that I can say I "press onward, theres no time to look back. I am so happy to feel this pain.

Now to keep with the weight loss plan. 😊

That is so affirming. at that point, all of my feelings of well-being were mental improvements. But as I continued, I began to notice more of the physical changes after 90 days. After that, it just "buckle your seat belt" and enjoy the ride!

Annaliese!

Congrats on the 5 week mark and your first concrete sign that "Hey!... Maybe this stuff really works!" Enjoy every bit of the liberation that comes from finally having your life pointed in the right direction and some wind in your sails!... I know, you know, it is a marathon not a sprint but, you will start to notice more and more changes make themselves known in the days to come! 🤗

Don't worry to much about any destination right now but, enjoy every step... There will be much that is beautiful and worthy of celebration in each day... 🌞

It's been 5+ years HRT.  A longish haul, yet I feel good pretty much every day!  I have just enough physical changes to satisfy and pass just as long dressing age appropriately.  My depression symptoms have eased off and my family has settled in just fine.

Welcome to the forums, and thanks for joining us, thinking just this morning that we need our younger crowd to discover Susan's.

I do wish I had started sooner, yet life 😪 did not permit it, but at 66 I find it is now or never, and I chose now. Too many years have gone by with with the old me. Now making way for the me I am to be. 🤗

I will turn 70 in a few weeks. A part of me wishes I'd started sooner, but I wouldn't want to change much in my life. So, I will just focus forward and make the best of what time I have to discover the true me.

Life is good, isn't it?
With much love,
