Hi everyone, long time no post!
Well, it's official! Serra's going to be starting HRT with estradiol and spiro quite soon!
I was just wondering what I should expect in the new few months, now that she will be on hormones.
Any answers would be appreciated :)
Thanks!

Congratulations!
Well so far I've only been on HRT for about a month and a week and I've noticed breast development, reduction in body hair and actually some facial hair, my waist looks small, I look more curvey and over all my confidence level has shot through the roof.
Everyone's different though so I cannot say for sure what you'll experience but from my experiences I can say that your in for a fun time. ;)
Again congrats and best wishes,
Krista (a.k.a The motherf**king Princess) :D

congrats to you sweetie!
I am 3 months into HRT and everyone that I know says that my breasts are growing quite fast. If possible take some pics for yourself to keep track of your progression also I took measurements before HRT and will measure again at 6 months. It can't be stressed enough here that everyone reacts differently that is why I suggest keeping a record. I mean what good is it for you to know what has changed in me after 3 months I am on the same meds you will be taking and I have so far noticed other than the breasts (which may become very sensitive) are that my facial hair grows slower than before and my complexion is no longer oily in fact it is quite dry now. I guess what I'm saying is expect changes but don't compare them to others in transition, start a record and then you'll you will have something to compare against.
