I'm actually sitting here in thailand and 14 days post-op now. So I'm also occupied with the question if there'll be a futher body developemt after that surgery, maybe fat distribution or any feminization in face, butt, hips. I also ask, why i had absoluetly no shortage effects after stopping the HRT for surgery. Any other person i know had effects like flushes, headaches or other symptoms. I felt good all the time.
near killed me going off hormones, constant migraines, nausea , flushes. My endo said no more development will happen but, we will see .
After SRS your body will develop more female features, you probably clearly see the change after year or two. More or less is different on everyone. Normally our body change all time, it never stay the same.
I've heard a number of times of people getting further development after SRS, even when they have been on HRT for many years and development had stopped. This includes breast growth.
What could be the reason for the fact that i had no symptoms after stopping HRT?
Any ideas?
Body should have T in it still, even after srs it takes little while to go away
Its well possible there are some effects after srs.
People reported some breast growth and in general a feminization.
I stopped HRT a few times and it took quite a while before I started feeling bad, and it wasn't that bad compared to what some people are reporting. I've not idea why the difference.
I had some more breast growth and fat redistribution, but I have no idea whether it was GRS or just time that caused it (didn't seem to happen faster/earlier than had been the case before). Congrats and good luck with your recovery!
Three weeks off hrt
Ask me how i feel
I dare you
Yea you get some surges after srs
The e has no t to over come
Going off hormones for a few weeks for surgery has had no effect on me either. I got pretty irritable a few days after SRS but, I think this was from the tramadol. Also, I'm naturally kinda irritable anyway...
congrats
Hello ,
Congratulations for the surgery , it's a huge thing :)
I didn't had many days off HRT since i've started , but i am quite sure i wouldn't feel much as the hormones don't do much either . But also , the mood changes and all are not given only by estradiol directly , there are more hormones involved . For example i get hypothyroidism problems if i raise the dose too much or sudden , and the thyroid is really changing moods and thinking .
Think at menopausal women , for some it is a traumatic experience , for some it is not difficult at all .
I hope you won't let this worries and comparations clutter your mind , try to enjoy your accomplishment and post-op life . Not acceptance , as i hate that term , but controlling the mind and focusing on the beautiful parts . I didn't get much changes from Hrt , neither will i ever pass , yet i have learnt to let go .
There is no right or wrong , more or less , we just have what we have and we can make a happy life with it .
I'm nearly 2 month postOP now. There's NO postOP-body-development. Its a fairytale and i knew it. Damned, why i always believe such supid things???

After two months the body still has not completely changed from before.
It takes a few months more to change over.
Its like starting hrt... after two months what are the results...
And results are individual... have some patience...
did you have your levels tested yet ?
How should i test my levels? I cant walk and i cant sit? Maybe the next weeks ...
On the other side i know and i feel that my testo-level is too high. My skin is very rough, my face looks not good, my body hair is growing like never before. I may have to take Androcur the next years to have feminine levels. Thats a desaster ... and its called "my life". Whhowww!
I never had any major changes with HRT, why i should get any after SRS?
I'm waiting since 3 years for anything ... even my hair is not growing. After2 years it stopped - and that was all. Nothing happens, nowhere. Sometimes i cant believe it for myself. Tonnes of medical stuff goes in and nothing happens. The only thing ive felt in that 3 years is the pain of my surgeries.
Well its possible after srs the glands are telling to produce as much testo as possible.
This should go down after some time.
Do you take estrogen already ?
You might also think about adding bioidentical progesterone...
it might help with feminization and have some anti androgen effects:
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,192953.msg1733564.html#msg1733564
Yes i have estrogen since 1 week after surgery and progesterone too, like the last years. I couldnt remember any positive effect of progesterone - makes no difference to me.
Is it bioidentical progesterone ?
It should be capsules.
Do you take it continously or do you cycle ?
Hello Everyone, I was on HRT 8 months when undergoing SRS. Sure hope I did not cheat myself out of further feminization. Why would it stop?
Thank you,
Anne

ummm !!!! I dont want to seem rude but TWO MONTHS! that's like no time at all! I'm 31 YEARS postop and I can assure you that development continued for possibly 10 years!
You have to remember that just like a natural puberty although the initial changes happen quite quickly subsequent development will continue at amuch gentler rate - thats true for natal females - initially as teens they mainly get pert little breasts and slim althletic build - only once they are in their twenties some ten years later do the full womanly curves appear - so you are being almost ridiculously impatient... give it time.
I went "balls out" 15 months ago. My T&A are still surprising me.
Sorry, but i dont believe in all that anymore.

It's because genetics is more important. My guess is that you didn't win the genetic lottery?
Does my brain count as part of my body?

Where did you go for SRS ? Suporn ? What did he say concerning development ?
Yes i was at Dr. Suporn and he isnt interested in your body development and HRT-results.
I didnt win the genetic lottery ... thats for sure and i hate my body for that! :'(

Hey, all of us to some degree. Honestly I am learning the biggest part of this whole thing is just acceptance...
Who is able to accept a male body dont need no transition!!!

I can think of two reasons. You're on implants and they don't stop suddenly. Or you're not on HRT in the first place. Are you sure your HRT regime has been adequate? It might explain why your results haven't been what you were hoping for.
No, i havent any implants. I using gel and had feminine levels before surgery under professional administration.

Please excuse me if you've discussed this before, but have you double checked your blood levels are correct yourself? I personally don't trust doctors all that much and some of them make mistakes. Also have you had a seen other doctors, especially trans specializing endocrinologists, about it?
Ive a specialised doctor for transgenders ...
But it all doesnet matters if your body does not react on it.
In summary now and a bit more waiting: Theres NO body-development after SRS. Its nothing more than a myth. Its more possible to have a lot of T after SRS and getting unclean skin like me. For that case Androcur is like a little wonderdrug to me. It works and that for 100%.

So are you saying that the people have replied to you are lying? ???
Seriously though, you've just had a major feminising surgery, which literally has made your lower anatomy female! I know it will be some time before you are fully recovered from that -- it scares me to think how I will deal with the recovery when the time comes :(... but you've had a surgery that so many trans-people wish for, but the majority of whom never get to experience -- you are literally one of lucky ones.
And yes, you may not get any further development. Just because others in this forum, doesn't guarantee you will. But if you are already as 'female' as any other woman on the planet. There is no 'further development' that is going to make you any more 'female' than you already are. And being female doesn't make anyone a 'woman' anyway -- that's all clothing, how you talk, how you present yourself, how you relate to others... nothing to do with what's between your legs, or how big your breasts are.
Just be yourself hey! You've got this :)

Well that explains you not getting any symptoms from stopping HRT... ;)
Androcur is a hugely powerful anti-androgen; I'd been on a so-called "low-dose" of it (plus E) for only three weeks before my testosterone was already "completely suppressed" according to my prescribing doctor, and from I've read, after six months it will make you completely, irreversibly infertile.
As such, unlike spiro, I would be not at all surprised if stopping cypro (after a long enough time on it) would have no effect whatsoever on your T levels.

No, no - i dont talk about this forum only. Ive contact to many trans-women ... and i heard very often such things like your hair will become better after SRS or fat distribution will start after SRS first, breast development - i heard of people who rise from AA to C ... and yes, i believed in some of these things and hoped after 3 years HRT to get any little results now.
But, as i said, it was a hopeless hoping ... there's no effect after SRS. T always was my big problem because of my SHBG and i thought i got no results because of my high free T. I dont think so ... the problem is another one! A problem that i can never solve and of course ... my age!
