Title: Hormones, what should I expect? (MTF)
Post by: PeytonWinters on April 17, 2013, 04:58:18 PM
Hi. I've been on female hormones for 2 weeks now. However I'm wondering what I should expect the next months and even years. Thanks a lot! :)

Your sex drive should decrease significantly and ultimately vanish completely, this should happen very quickly.
Your nipples should grow in size and become more fleshy (hope i phrase it correctly) and you should get more fat in your breast area concluding in a breast size. Unfortunately the results depend on your genetics, i´m at 1 year on HRT, and i still don´t have a proper breast size, just little "hills".
Your skin should become a little softer. I haven´t and don´t experience hair loss on my body or slower hair growth even though many here claim to experience it.
That´s pretty much it, at least in my experience.

There is a lot of information on the wiki section of the site.  That may be the best section for you.  You may also want to check out the hrt threads in the transitioning section of the forum.  This may give you better insight on how it effected others. 

I am not on hrt yet, so I can't tell you any personal changes.  But I will say you should expect some awesome changes.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty certain you will fell calmer, more confident, more attractive, generally happier and more optimistic.

But all of those are more to do with what you've achieved.

Way to go there sister!

I just started my 3rd month on hrt, depending on your dosage, and personal makeup of blood lvl's
Everybody's different, but i guess hearing from allot of people, you can make up the general effects.

Here are my findings: - First month:     Emotional hell, omg and I didn't even realize the full extent till it was over after
                                                             6 weeks. Decreased sex drive (after 2 weeks). Less hair fallout (after 3 weeks).
                                                             Breast and nipple sensations (after 3 weeks), erratic sleep behavior.
                                                             Started laser hair removal (beard, armpits, chest, nipples)
                                  - Second Month: Emotionally stable. Softer and drier skin. Fat in my breasts, enlargement of the nipples
                                                             slight weakening of muscle strength, slow body hair growth, stable sleeping.
                                                             Libido changed from visual stimulation to emotional stimulation :) finally feel in control

Finally resumed my HRT today. Spiro & Estrofem.

Any advise from other girlfriends on what to expect???

During my last HRT I was on Premarin & decided to change to Estrofem.
