Hello,
as i wrote in some other threads i'm on hormones (estrogen) for 18 month now. Frist changes like a softer skin, a little, little breast development came very fast after a few month. Other things like fat distribution, thinner body hair start(!) but now after that 18 month. For some reason it took a lot time more than for other people.
Whats your experience in taking hormones for 3 years, 4 years and longer? I mean do you recognize further, really seeable changes after the first 2 years? Most informations say HRT has an maximum effect in the first two years, but mine startet very, very late in my eyes.
Regards Galaxy

I think everyone is different. TBH it's hard to say if anything is changing after 16 years on HRT. I'm only on estradiol so that's why I'm looking at changing my regime.
