One month into HRT and thus far I am quite pleased with the results. I'm experiencing an emotional and mental clarity that I have not had in many years. Physically I am seeing changes much sooner that I would have expected. I am already starting to see some breast development and redistribution of body fat to my hips and buttocks. I was measured for a bra and am between a B and a C cup.
I have not noticed any changes with body or facial hair yet, but I am aware that hair growth can be cyclical. This early into treatment it is difficult to ascertain if body hair growth is slowing or if I am simply in a slower phase of the growth cycle at the moment. I have noticed very little impact, if any on my sexual functioning. It is more difficult to achieve and maintain an erection, but the sensation has increased and I am finding sex to be more pleasurable.
Overall I would say that starting HRT is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Part of looks back at my life with regret thinking that if I had started this much earlier I could have avoided the thirty-plus years of misery that I experienced after puberty. After more than three decades of searching, it's amazing that all it took was some pills and a patch to make me feel right.
Amazing, isn't it??? Clarity for the first time. The nice part of this is that it will continue. Congratulations!
As far as breast growth....If your that big already, bra's will get expensive!!! (But it is Soooo worth it. ;))

Just enjoy. You will feel better & more normal each day.
Congrats on the 30 days!! Your lucky with the breast development. I am on 62 days and am just now seeing a noticeable change. Nothing much just something new.
Again congratulations
Yes, it is a very pleasurable feeling to finally block the effects of testosterone and take a little estrogen.
I found it to be very calming to my persona. It just feels so good.
