Title: almost a month!
Post by: Nikki_Taz on February 22, 2015, 07:28:56 PM
Almost a month now, breasts getting tender!  Emotionally I feel more fem and able to act more fem.  Almost NO anger at all, compared to before its an awesome feeling.  Love it so far I hope it keeps getting better. ;)

Congrats! :)

I'm also about a month in. My skin has gotten super, super soft. Have you noticed that, too?

Woo!

Me too! (Though right now my ticker shows over a month because I started that when I started spiro; 30 days on estradiol will be thursday.)

I'm also starting to notice more things that I am confident are hormone-induced changes rather than placebo effects. I was comparing a picture from the first day of estradiol and another from a week or so ago, trying to see if I could see any real differences. It was hard because the latter picture has a much, much more sincerely happy expression!

My anger is different now. I still get p.o.'d pretty easily, but the "rage" feeling doesn't seem to be there any more. I got angry at another driver the other day and shouted (to myself) some rude thing that I've shouted a thousand times before. But immediately afterwards I was no longer upset. I can get used to that...
