Title: Two months on estrogen
Post by: MugwortPsychonaut on April 07, 2014, 03:14:43 AM
To be fair, I'd been on spiro for two months before starting estrogen. Also, everybody's different.

• Boobs? Yeah, they popped up in a week. Check. They're little, but they're still boobs.
• My emotions are more fluid and useful. I can cry when I need to, and it's therapeutic. I can laugh when I'm done crying. I can feel and express love, surprise, affection, adoration, excitement, and a whole slew of emotions.
• My face is getting rounder, fuller, and more feminine.
• Body hair and facial hair growth have both slowed down.
• My fingers are getting slimmer. I bought a ring in January, before starting estrogen. It fit snugly on my finger and required lotion to take off. Now the thing spins freely and comes off without a hitch.
• Today I noticed my butt's starting to plump up. Yay!
• I'm developing a whole new sexuality.
• I don't know if this is from the estrogen, living full-time as female, or a combination of both, but I'm starting to notice guys more and more.
• Again, maybe this is a social thing, but when I go to my guy friends' houses, I often spend more time hanging out with their girlfriends. I befriend other girls so easily now.

I think it's great that these things have become noticeable for you. Where these changes difficult to adapt to?

Congrats, and terrific progress!!  I'm really envious, I have my first real HRT appt in two weeks... Have been on a terrific herbal program since Oct and things are going well, but I am def looking fwd to some real E and  the changes it will bring.  I know everyone is different, but I'm hoping for the slimmer fingers, a few more pounds lost, and that really calm feeling..  =)
