I'm back after an absence where a lot of things happened. My wife has agreed to let me start taking hormones, as long as I don't immediately start living as a woman (which I didn't plan do right now anyway). I'm still looking for a therapist who will understand my situation and prescribe the proper medications. So to tell you about my current situation:
-I'm 5'7", 250 pounds, and OK with being a "BBW," so I've decided I don't want to wait until I lose weight to start hormones. I resemble Jack Black, but I have been told that I would make a pretty girl more than once... I have pretty eyes and soft facial features. Given my weight, how would that affect the effectiveness of HRT? Would it give the medications "more to work with," so to speak?
-I have a beard, and plan to keep it for now. Does anyone know A) what effect HRT will have on my facial hair and/or B) will it help conceal facial changes for now?
-How much time would I have before changes from HRT were REALLY noticeable (to co-workers and family)?
-My wife is particularly interested in this: How long would it be until I was sterile, and will I still be able to get erections? Would viagra help a guy on HRT?
I'm very glad to be back. I'm sorry for my long absence.
