Hi everyone- I just wanted to share some joyous news. I started anti-androgens in mid-July and added estrogen at the end of July... I'm happy to say I've already seen some noticeable changes.
-My bustline had expanded by a full inch, and my breasts are noticably fuller. They are also starting to ache (which is annoying but still a welcome effect).
-My skin and hair are noticably softer, and my body fat seems to be settling into more traditionally "female" patterns.
-My anxiety and depression have faded. I feel happier, and everyone I interact with has remarked on how much more I smile these days.
-My sex drive is different, but not gone. For the first time I feel like I control it, not vice versa.
There's more, but that's the big stuff. It's so exciting! I also start lazer treatments on my neck later this week, with my face to follow if that goes well. I'm still totally presenting as a man, but finally... Progress! YAY!
Congrats. Im just short of three months in and remenber spotting all these changes also. I ran around my apartment doing to the go me dance XD. Enjoy the changers, and protect your growing girls. Those growing buds getting smashed or hit, hurts like hell
OMG yes the ladies do hurt like hell when they bump into.. well anything! CONGRATS on starting your journey. ^-^
Thats fantastic! I am in the middle of my 3rd week on HRT, and I have only noticed a slight puffing to my nipples. It could all be in my head...I am eager to see such great results! Good for you! :)
