i think i'm changing a little

[YellowDaisy]

i'm starting to notice that my increased amounts of estrogen and low testosterone is changing me a little. since i see myself all the time, it's kind of hard for me to notice changes in myself. i've noticed that when you look in pictures of yourself taken from a couple years ago, then you are like, wow, i really did change! i'm noticing that my underarn hair seems thinner. the way it feels. i'm also noticing that my breasts seem to be more defined, and that my hips are starting to look like the widest part of my body. people who don't see me regularly may notice changes even more than i do, but they won't say anything definately.

 Old pictures are a great way to track your progress. In an earlier post I posted a picture of myself  from pre hrt. My family as well as myself was surprised by the changes. Because we see each other everyday we didn't notice the changes. I was sure, because of my age I wouldn't get very good results, and I was going to be OK with that. But I am very happy. 

   I am glad your transition is going well. I don't know how far along you are . But just wait you will be  to be amazed.

Hugs, Erocse

That is good news Maylene! I remember when I started noticing little changes-I was thrilled! Keep us up to date with more changes.

  Hi there

Take lots of photos, I know that I haven't taken enough since my body has started to change and I'm already wishing that I had.

I have found that since the changes started it is almost like a snowball effect, e.g. the rate of progress increases like in cell division in bacteria, i.e. every time they divide they double. I've been on HRT for just over 9 months and it feels like my nipples are going to explode right now!

I'm loving all of the changes though and I have never felt better and more confident in who I AM in my entire life. This is definitly the the right choice for me to live as female ,as opposed to my mothers view "Just live as a sensitive male like your brother" and he certainly isn't female in any sense of the word.

Embrace the changes Honey, I was so excited when my partner noticed because I thought it was all in my imagination.

Lots of Hugs

Betty
