Looking good, Sunshine. The difference is small, but it's there.

There's definitely a change there. It's subtle, but the meds are certainly having an effect.

Are you on low-dose or are you taking a full dose? I'm curious because I just started estradiol and spironolactone on Wednesday, but I'm doing low-dose estradiol for the first six weeks.

There usually arent facial changes in just one month... when do you plan on going fulltime? Good luck with your transition!
