Title: slight results in less than a week

So I started hrt Thursday. I am currently on a really low dose of E, but I have already noticed some results. I woke up last night in the middle of the night and I noticed my nipples were tingling. I was so excited I couldn't fall asleep for like the rest of the night lol. Then this morning I noticed that my veins are not protruding out of my arms nearly as much ass they were before I started. Is it common for someone to see results after 4 days?

I don't know how common it is, but it's not unheard of - I started on a very, very low dose as well and had breast buds and tenderness by day 5 (or at least that's when I jogged down a flight of stairs and realized I wasn't imagining things!). Be warned that developing early may also mean it continues to happen very fast. :)

Absolutely yes. I had breast tenderness, scent and skin changes in a week on low dose E. Some people are fast.

Gonna add another check mark to the "things can happen quick, even on low dose" column.
I started on low, low dose - like the lowest dose humanly possible to obtain - and within days it was sore nipple time, and a couple of weeks before I could feel a significant hardening beneath. Mental effects were instant - loved the sense of calm.
Enjoy it! Those early changes are exciting. Now I'm on a much higher dose, things are moving along, but it's not quite the same as first discovering that this is actually happening.

First of all congratulations Amber - I am so happy for you girl :)
Yes, I have experienced some changes right away and you will notice more in the months and years to come.
I noticed an instant glow to my skin and the fat around my body is just getting re-distributed all over on my 1st to 2nd month.
This is the beginning of an awesome adventure xoxo

Yep, I felt tingling about ~48 hours after I started HRT and had breast buds before the end of the first week. My T wasn't even fully suppressed on my starting dosage but I still had changes almost right away. Some bodies just react faster than others.
Doesn't mean much towards the end results though. Months later and I'm still at tiny buds.
