Hello everyone. I've been on HRT since January 2012. It took a while for me to notice changes when everyone else did. Lol.
I've been doing laser on my face for about 6 months and really notice the changes.
This picture that I'm sharing is the morning after with only my face scrubbed. I had not shaved in over 18 hours at the time.
I've also dropped 40 lbs in the last 6 months. I feel great, and hope to feel better in the future.

you look great
You look great Monica! I too have been doing my own laser treatments on my face mostly (don't have much hair anywhere else) however I haven't been on hrt as long as you have. I just started aroung the first of the year. In any case you look wonderful. I hope hrt does as good for me as it has for you. ;)
Looking gooooood! :)
Are the facial laser things effective in reducing growth? Fortunately I only have hair on face and it grows pretty slow (well... I do have a tiny bit of hair on my arms and legs, but it's easy to keep that under control :P). Since my facial hair is minimal, will that help?
Monica, you are rocking it! :)
Girl not only do you look great but dropping 40 pounds? That's awesome
OMG you look great and your not done yet. If I look that good when I'm done I will be happy. Thanks for sharing. It make it easier to keep going seeing you doing so well.

Wow you look great! I love your hair.
Thanks ladies.
The laser sessions have really slowed growth. I used to be able to rock a full beard in a few days.
At this rate I wouldn't be surprised to be rid of my facial hair in 3 to 6 more sessions. By then I hope to lose another 40 -50 lbs

It's good that your doing your laser now instead of waiting like I did. In the last year I've gotten rid of all the dark hair on my face but I'm struggling with grays. I've been using the charcoal dye but progress is slow. I despise facial hair so much though that I'll be at it until it's all gone for good. ;)
Looking gorgeous! :D
On a related note, last night I went to the local gay club in town. I had not been there in approximately 6 months. Very few had seen me in that time. Many didn't recognize me until they did a second take. The weight loss not only was noticeable on my body, but in my face too. I look a lot thinner. I can't tell the notice as much as others can when they don't see you for a long time.
I received a lot of love, hugs and compliments while there. Many told me I look younger too! Yay! I just wore a purple blouse and some "high water" skinny jeans with some sling back heels. I bought those jeans four years ago but was never able to fit in them. When I tried them on last week and they fit, I almost cried of joy.
Just wanted to share my little bits of success with my sisters here. I can't wait to make more progress.

I and I know I speak for many if not all of us here at Susan's am so happy for you Monica! Your looking great. Yes please keep sharing your progress. You and many others are an inspiration to girls like me who are not that far along yet. ;) You give us hope many of these undesireable features will fade as we proceed with out transformations.

Allyda, I know I don't post as much as other may have a chance to (being an auto mechanic keeps me busy mentally and physically). But I too appreciate the contributions that other sisters here make for the benefit of us all.
But for me there are times when I'm surprised from the positive feedback I get locally from people that have known me since I 1st came out in 2008. When that happens it makes me look in the mirror to try and see what they see. At times I see it easier than others. And I'm my own worst critic. But I realize that it will always be an uphill battle to get to my desired destination within womanhood.

Oh hon we all go through that. Heck I've no idea how I pass as easily as I do especially without makeup at 50 years old. I pass without trying and can't see what others see. I see my nose being too big, and a slight bit crooked from it's break in my accident. I do have slight features and a small oval face, long straight black hair past my shoulders to about the middle of my back but I look in the mirror and only see those flaws. We are our own worse critics I suppose. I think it would benefit us all if we couldn't see ourselves in the mirror for at least 6 months. Then when we see ourselves we;d see what others see. But because we look at ourselves each day we dwell on out flaws. Just my 2 cents. ;)
