Hi all, well I've been on HRT for around two months now (E and blockers) and I've definitely noticed some changes. The usual breast development and skin changes etc. (I'm loving the nice new pearly skin on the back of my hands!) but I've also noticed a general increase in facial 'prettiness' (there is a long way to go, trust me lol) that I haven't been able to put my finger on until today... I swear that my eyelashes have gotten a whole lot darker and therefore more visible. The last time I wore mascara was over a month ago so I doubt it's that, pre hrt they were hardly visible due to their kind of light brown colour, especially on the bottom lashes, now they are dark brown/black and easily visible top and bottom.. I can't think of anything else different going on that could account for the change, I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed anything similar, before I chalk it up to wishful thinking lol.
As a side note I'm pretty sure my lips are more full, especially the top lip compared to a photo I took just prior to starting hrt, but that could easily be wishful thinking too lol.

I have long been told by various people that I already have very feminine eyelashes...some girls have even been jealous of my eyelashes.
I don't know that mine have gotten darker but they have gotten crazy long, both on top and bottom. I noticed that about a month ago and it still surprises me sometimes when I look in the mirror. Love them! :)
My lips have started to fill out too, my wife made a comment about them the other day so it's getting noticeable too!
I have been using an eyelash enhancing serum for a few months now so I'm not sure what is HRT and what is that...but in a few months my eyelashes have gone from "Super fine barely visible blond little stubby lashes" to "So thick, long and dark that they constantly brush off of my glasses when I blink and people think I have fake eyelashes on"
Just as well I love them! :D
Definitely noticed the lips thing too...if for no other reason than it takes me longer to apply lipstick + lip liner now xD

What is the eyelash enhancing serum you use? I'd like to have a go at that as mine need some work.

You can buy it in a number of different places, but you can normally get it for a good deal on amazon.
Good Luck!

Thank you!
Also! PM me in like a month or so to let me know how it goes :D
I am curious about how much of my lash growth is normal, how much is HRT induced, and how much is the serum ^^
My lashes kept even with the hormones very short. After 14 month i also began to use a serum. Now they have a normal feminine length.
