For about the first week I got an almost euphoric feeling taking my estradiol each time. I decided it was more in my head than anything else. Now I just get that bad taste in my mouth with the spiro.
I had about an A-ish cup that stuck with me after I turned 13, I blame the hormones in beef & chicken. Obviously nothing that was properly shaped, but it was something. I'm now about 4 months on HRT and OMG ACHING!

I thought I was feeling something after the first month, but last week I realized I knew
exactly what this new aching was. What I felt the first week was nothing but my own wishful thinking. Keep in mind it takes GGs all of puberty to fully develop - my first puberty may have been terribly wrong, but it lasted more than a few months so don't judge too quickly.
The most evident effect may be all in my head, but it doesn't matter. There is definitely a stabilizing effect from being on the right hormones. Whether the mental and emotional stuff is just a placebo effect or not - I don't care, I just feel better.
