Just a quick question do your eyelashes grow while on hrt? Iv'e been on hrt for 10 days now and my eyelashes are way longer and more fuller than they were before. Is this possible or am im imagining things?

 As far as I know, they don't, and it would take longer than ten days even if they did.

If they do, then it's a very uncommon result.

Mine has gotten thicker ...looks like I am wearing liner...

Try a product called latisse

Mine have gotten a bit darker but I've always had long lashes to begin with.

I am not sure that it is testosterone that affects eyelash length as I have had long lashes since I was a tiny-little. I do feel that 10 days may be a little quick to be seeing changes in hair length.

No... mine have actually thinned out. I used to be able to curl mine quick and easily, now it takes a few tries with the eyelash curler.

I don't know, males usually have longer eyelashes in general... I think even pre-puberty boys produce testosterone, while girls don't.

Males do usually have longer lashes in general. It's one trait most cis women wish they had that men do have. However, both boys and girls, pre-puberty, have roughly the same amount of testosterone in their bodies, with males being just slightly higher.

Children, males, 1 to 5 years: 2-25 ng/dL (0.07-0.87 nmol/L) [3]
Children, females, 1 to 5 years: 2-10 ng/dL (0.07-0.35 nmol/L) [3]
Children, males, 6 to 9 years: 3-30 ng/dL (0.10-1.04 nmol/L) [3]
Children, females, 6 to 9 years: 2-20 ng/dL (0.07-0.69 nmol/L) [3]

My eyelashes are somewhat average as far as I can tell, but it's kinda difficult to really know because they don't show up unless I apply mascara

When I apply mascara they seem much longer than originally perceived   

No they don't. It's all in your mind.

Sorry luvvy, but eye lashes take much longer than ten days to grow.  Also, the class of hormones we take will generally be noticed to affect the mind first, before the external changes begin. 

Ahh yes, I remember starting hormones and getting into that, "hurry up and wait phase," when I hoped for some fast changes. I think it's something lot's of us do, a right of passage!  :P

I will say, though, to hold on tight! Soon there will be UNDENIABLE changes. I woke up one day a few weeks on hormones and thought, "Hey I feel a bit different!".  Well, the mental feeling kept increasing until I knew it wasn't my imagination.

Oh ya, and soon your boobs will ache! Have fun!!  ;)

My lashes have grwon a lot after starting to use M2 lashes which is widely availabe here in Germany. After 1 month I saw a difference. Now after 3 months my lashes look very female and still growth. I am not on hrt right now.

I can recommend using it. I experienced no side effects.

Definitely not. Males have longer/thicker eyelashes, not the contrary. And whatever change happens, you wouldn't notice it in such a short time. Hair doesn't grow that fast, and you still mostly have the same eyelashes as 10 days ago already grown hair past the follicle is unaffected by whatever is circulating in your blood.
