So I started out a month on estrogen mid november before being given spiro and as a result I really only counted my timeline since the date I started both together. So right now I was only thinking I am a month into hrt.. As a result I was very surprised to notice boobs in the mirror! I had man tits before but they had disappeared almost once I worked out and went from 200 to 145 lbs... But these are definitely buds! Slight movement when bounced that I definitely feel when I never did with man boobs. Then while shaving bent over they were hanging there lol. Still very small but definitely more cone shaped and I can feel new tissue now.
Is it normal to start a month just estrogen? From what I read I felt it was basically being wasted without the spiro but now I'm unsure because this seems fast. I didn't feel any pain or warning either.
Thoughts?
On a mental note I considered myself bi before but never physically "attracted" to men like women.. Now I'm actually finding attraction I never felt before. I am still highly attracted to women though but when I see a couple together in "any" way I'm wishing I was her and never him.
Exciting!

It was probably closer to 2 or 3 months when I first had noticeable booblettes. But it was probably at about 4-6 weeks when I started to get very tender nipples.
With regards to orientation and sex drive, my drive did indeed dip a bit after starting HRT (I'm at 19 months now). I've always been bi, but it seems like what I find attractive fluctuates. I was VERY bi shortly after starting HRT and these days I'm leaning more towards finding women more attractive these days.

I haven't had too much sensitivity yet but they definitely get aroused pretty easily with manual stimulation lol.
I felt weird starting hrt because to me it seemed like my sex drive shot up rather than down. I missed a couple days once and in that time I felt like my libido dropped and then jumped back up when I started. Seemed out of the norm to me but I dunno

Alexis, it is good to remember the old Tgirl adage, "your mileage may vary."
