Title: One year!
Post by: JulieC. on March 03, 2013, 11:25:57 AM
Today it's one year since I started hrt.  I can't believe it's gone so fast. 
Results so far:
Breasts have grown to an A cup.  I hope they are going to grow more but the women in my family are small so they may not get much bigger.  Still happy for what I now have.
I used to have these horrible veins sticking out of my arms and they have almost totally disappeared.
My skin feels softer. 
The hair on my arms and chest is growing slower and seems lighter.
I still have fairly muscular arms but I have definitely lost some strength.

I'm not really sure but I think my facial hair is also growing slower.
I think my butt and hips are gaining fat but it's hard to tell if it's just wishful thinking

That's where I'm at and happy.

Congratulations Julie!

I have just passed the 18 month mark and still enjoy every moment and the small, almost imperceptible changes that come with time.

Enjoy becoming a woman.
