Title: Not many changes. .
Post by: Saphielakeview on December 10, 2013, 11:42:24 PM
Hey girls I have been on estrogen shots every week and spiro and honestly I have noticed any changes just the second week a little softening of the skin . Just kind of curious if this is normal or am I doing something wrong. ?





Edited for dosages

It is normal, the changes are very subtle. If you look at a pic of yourself now and again in 6 months, the changes will be easier to see.

You should have sensitive nipples and a bump - almost all have that at the begining. Suprised you noticed the skin softening so early as this ususlly happens after a few months. All will all happen - its part of nature when you are on HRT. I'm trying to hide it all after almost 9 months as I'm in stealth mode still

As the others said YMMV but 2 weeks is probably too short a time. Try 2 months for stuff to start.

Yes, 2 months but I did notice some changes after a couple of weeks.

A Smile was the easiest one to spot.
Sensitive nipples but not much growth.
Also had headaches and muscles ached all over for about a week.
Down below also decided to go on vacation :D

Your endo should want to see you in a couple of weeks for blood tests.

Spoilers!
There are a lot more changes on the way so enjoy them.
