Title: Hormones only affecting one side of your body?

So I wanted to ask y'all if anyone is experiencing the same thing I am.
Only the right side of my body has been affected by hormones.
I mean I can see, my mom can see it, and so can my best friend.
It's ridiculous D:
I'm getting an inward curve on the right side of my waist and getting nice fat redistribution to my right hip.
But there's nothing going on on my left side!
I also have this dumb little evil pudge of fat on my left side too that won't go away >_>
My mom said it was a love handle but I told her if it was then isn't there supposed to be another one on my right side too.
And she said yes and laughed at me >_>
I mean I'm getting breast development on both sides and stuff.
But everything else is being half assed.
Is this a hormone problem? Should I talk to my endo about it? Or will my left side catch up eventually?
I'm 11 months on HRT.
I'll be a year old in 25 days (:

It is kind of odd but I am in the same boat. I started to notice this a month ago and its pretty annoying :S.
I have however not been on hormones for very long. I really hope that this is a short phase because it looks silly.
I hope that someone will shed some light on this.

Lol I saw this when I looked in the mirror the other day and thought I must be imagining it. Its my right side is a little ahead to, both in boobage and the hip/waist thing.
Weird.
Weird.

No one is perfectly symmetrical - bodybuilders find that maintaining perfect symmetry in their development the most difficult thing to manage.
I would suspect that the muscle on the side that's not nice and curvy is somewhat more developed than the other side - try tensing your stomach muscles and feel the size and position of the muscles - it wouldn't be surprising if one side was more developed than the other. That could cause the fat on that side to bulge out a bit more.

I had a similar situation a few months ago, and my Endo said that's nothing unusual. Usually some time down the track, both sides tend to even up, but that's entirely up to your body to work out.
Here's a little trick for you to try, just to show you how each side of the body is different. Take a photo of your face. use any reasonable photo editer to cut it in two down the middle and mirror image each side separately and look at the difference between the two photos. Ask someone to identify them and see the results you get. Bit of fun.
Be safe. well and happy.
Lotsa huggs

When i started getting some boobs the right one sprinted out way ahead of the left one. Here lately the left one is staging a come back effort, but the right one is still ahead. I've heard that it has to do with muscle development; i'm mostly right handed and i guess that i have more muscle development on that side.

My natural (pre-hormone therapy) breast development was asymmetrical.

This was a valuable thread to ensure I was not going crazy. I am on day 44 of just E and started to notice over a week ago that my right nipple is much more sensitive than the left. Also, my right hip seems to be developing differently than the left. However, my left lateral and medial has started to look more "feminine" compared to the right.
I am naturally right handed, so I guess the muscles are more developed mostly on the right. But, the left is explained as when doing certain sporting activities, I lead with the left.
Glad this all sort of seems normal.
