I was 29. My expectations were extremely low, so I'm happy with my results. HRT was a miracle for me.

First time age 23 for two years with pretty unspectacular results on the boob front. Became quite feminised otherwise though.
Second time age 47, that was 14 months ago with great results so far.

Started HRT unofficially at age 20, started officially (under doctor's care) at 23.  Fast forward to today: age 60 (61 in a couple months), decades post-SRS and truly indistinguishable from other cis gals my age.

I was on low dose HRT for a number of years; i probably started that somewhere around 44 but really didn't see a lot of physical effects from it. I started on a transitioning dose of HRT on 08/08/2013 when I was 50. The HRT has had major, wonderful effects on me in spite of my age.

I took every birth control pill I could get from girl friends in college, received my first script for estrogen when I was maybe age 22. On & off all my life as much as I could without getting fired from male type jobs which I did get fired twice for dressing & being feminine. Full speed for the past year finally, yea!

I'm 60 (and 8 months), and just started a couple of weeks ago, so you're not totally alone. So far all my results have been always erect and tender nipples, not that I'm complaining.

At 24, 45 days ago... So far so good, am really happy about it, though am afraid it's giving me too high expectatives from when the dosage goes up in 2 months and affects me for a couple years.

I started about 4 months ago at age 31, certainly a marathon not a sprint but I'm very happy with how things are going, my only regret was waiting so long rather than starting as a teen

Happy so far ;D

Started when I was 45.

Emotional and psychological effects have been subtle and most agreeable.  Physical effects have exceeded my expectations.

Not a miracle cure, but a very nice helping hand  :)

Hi,

A little different for myself , my own hormones started changing about 21 years ago .  in prep for becoming a woman so what little the added hormones have done is just what is normal for a menopausle woman  for health reasons, so HRT = E.  was about 10 years ago  .

as for Spiro my body rejected them , so was not on them long ,

as some of us  are different the synthic meds dont allways work for every one ,

...noeleena...

Started at 28, was hoping to get SRS before 30 but it looks like I'm probably going to be getting it before 31. I'll still be 30 when I get it though >_>.

I start HRT when I was 54.  All I can say is why did I wait so long?  :)
Title: Re: POLL about your age when you began HRT
Post by: Agent_J on September 15, 2014, 01:16:53 PM
I attempted to start at 19. Multiple therapists, a dozen years, and one move to a different state later, I finally got my first prescription at 34, and actually effective HRT at 39 (earlier this year, after SRS.)

Sadly , I  started at the late age of 45 and have been on HRT for 5 weeks. Wish i had started sooner. Just enjoying the ride now.

Sorry that I have had to wait 50 years to start.
I just started with "T" blockers 6 days ago.

Now trying to quit smoking for the "little blue pill"
Next Endo appointment is in Oct ' 14
Wish me luck !

62, coming up on 90 days and seeing good results. :icon_joy:
Yay! I started HRT at 62 also. So nice to see I'm not alone.
Six months in and things are moving along. I'm still impatient, but I guess you've heard that before.
