Title: 8 months on hormones- How about a "Before and Now" pic?
Post by: JohnnieRamona on March 20, 2013, 10:32:29 AM
This Friday marks 8 months on hormones for me, and this month's "Before and Now" picture is Costco-themed (2 days before I started back in July, and Yesterday). I don't see any radical changes (face-wise... but in terms of my body shape, there have been fairly big changes already), but I'm definitely happier! :)

My girlfriend says she sees subtle changes (and so do I). More laser sessions will help, as will growing my hair out a bit more (I'm working on both of those things). Plus, my meds are FAR from done with their work, thankfully :)

Coming along! I'm jealous! I can't wait to see further progress!

Here's a better one, I think:

I think the changes are more obvious in that one...

ddone... Here's the main things I've seen over eight months:

1. Vastly improved emotional state- My problems with anxiety and depression have not disappeared, but are much more manageable now.
2. VERY noticeable breast, hip, and butt development- If I could post a "before and after" of my breasts, I would. They are already damn-near B-Cups and I LOVE them :)
3. Much softer skin and hair
4. Subtle feminization of my face
5. More sensitivity to cold temperatures
6. More sensitivity to strong odors
7. Changes in sex drive- Not gone, but much more under my control. I haven't been tested, but I gotta be sterile by now. My ejaculate is almost totally clear and feels more like a woman's vaginal secretions.
8. "It" still works when I put enough effort into that process, but spontaneous erections are long gone.
9. I'm more emotional, I cry more often, but it's not a HUGE change compared to pre-HRT.

You have a much softer texture now, keep it up!!
