Here are some the changes I've experienced with estrogen and spiro... Your mileage will vary, as they say, according to your genetics:
First of all, I want to say that I'm much happier than before HRT!! (My husband even agrees!) Luckily, I haven't had any mood swings or depression!
Hair is growing back along my hairline! (It's not advancing my hairline, unfortunately, but more hair is better than less!)
My lips have become fuller, more plump! Specially my upper lip, which pretty much used to be none existent!
My breasts are already halfway to an A cup! They're always sore! (Growing Pains! LOL)
My physical strength has decreased dramatically! I can't lift the same weight I used to! Hopefully, that means my muscle mass has diminished. Yay!
My eyesight has gotten better?? Is this possible? (I'm not having to use my reading glasses anymore!)
My armpits aren't sweaty and smelly anymore! (I can use women's deodorant and not be sweaty, at all!)
Hair on my legs grow back slower after I shave them!
Exciting!! So far, so good!! :D
What changes did you notice in your first six months of HRT?

Hi Tina. I'm very happy for your progress. I'm not on HRT yet, but I turned 41 in September and hope to be on it by my Bday next year.
I will follow your progress closely. Thank you for sharing.

Good for you Tina. Thanks for sharing your progress. I have been on spiro for 14 months and 3 months on E. I am a tanner stage 2 (A cup). I a little bit "emotional," more than usual. But happy indeed. Passing with no problem until I open my mouth :laugh:
All the best,
