Title: Gahhh my hips are shrinking on estradiol
Post by: Madison (kiara jamie) on October 08, 2011, 02:19:26 PM
so today i was trying out old clothes and i put on a pair of shorts that i remember were to small for my but to fit in, they were a pair of guy wakeboard shorts, and to my surprise they fit, now i might just be crazy but i used to muffin top in them before i started hrt, but now i dont, gah

so ive been on an oral estrogen and instead of spiro i got cypro, im about 2 and a half months on hrt, so im just wondering if anyone else has had this happen before
ive taken measurements before and after i started hrt and it seems like im not gaining any width in my bum/hips measurement.
any input is appreciated

Yes I had similar. It seems to be as Debra says. After a couple of years treatment all my measurements reduced a little though the balance relative to each other changed; my hips reduced by an inch but my waist reduced by about three inches.

I keep complaining to the girls at work that i'm losing weight all over. They never seem very sympathetic - I don't get it  ???

sweeti i experienced the exact same thing but here's y :) boys pants are designed for wide waists not hips so you waist is just thinning not your hips :)
