Today is a good day.
I begun feeling effects of HRT after only 4 day ( today is the 5th)
-I was doing my daily cardio at the gym then my nipples begun to burn like hell. I looked down then noticed that my nipples were hard and pointy . At this moment i was suprised , i really didnt expect this to happen so quickly. They also were very sensible, i hardly could touch them.
- i feel calmer and also irritable at the same time. Being emotional is part of my life so i am allready used to this.
- Sex drive increased instead of decreasing and feel totally different... this is what is surprising me the most.
is this normal for 5 day? i bet it has to do with my hormonal imbalance that i had prior starting hormones
i started with 136 pg/ml estrogen level and 28 ng/ml of prolactin
Anyway i am happy right now. i feel like changes will be phenomenal :)
I'm also five days in, congrats on your discovery! I started to have fuller breasts (I already had them from my initial transition 15 years ago).
I don't know what's normal, but I definitely had visible changes and some "bouncing" on day 5. Which means I have to give my usual advice - buckle in for a wild ride, and don't count on being able to hide things for long. :)
My nipples were sore the first week too and still are periodically after 3 years.
My emotions were hard to control from the first week to about the third month ( I was smiling and in peace but all emotions was deeper and I had difficulty to use my filter when I talked).
My first week on HRT ignited my first libido and it has constantly goes up over time, to the point that before srs it was barely unbearable. Many will experience a decreased or lost of libido with HRT but not everyone.
I am also at my fifth day lol.
More of my muscle is turning into fat, but i have a weird case since 2 mth ago before starting HRT that my leg/arm hair is losing, gaining fat in hips/thigh/butt, and baby hair regrowing on receded hairline areas, so it may affect my decision to start HRT, glad i started.
I also had effects within the first week.
I woke up one morning and my nipples were so sensitive and were hard and pointy.
Exciting times for you archlord.
There really is no such thing as normal. There is a "statistically x happens on week y", but that's it. I'm at month 10 and aren't nearly as emotional as I wish I was. However I know there is something wrong with me that happened a long time ago. I think my breasts started to burn in month two, but it only lasted for a month unfortunately. My sex drive dropped to zero for a month or two, but when back up to a reduced amount. I also feel calmer, but that happened gradually over a very long period of time.
Haha you're such a chick you have no idea what is coming <3
1 week later ( 14 day) update:
Today i woke up producing drop of milk. it looked like clear liquid to be honest but it was comming straight from nipples without doubts.
isnt it a little early to have this kind of development?
Update : 17 days in
ohhhh ! Woke up with breast tissue this morning. I really cant say they are pectoral muscle anymore, they increased in size ,changed shape and feel different. The left one had more development.
I am still a lot sore and itchy .
Im excited but scared at same time, at this speed i wont be able to hide things for long
You can hide your breasts by binding them with a tight undershirt, and be on HRT for as long as you want without coming out. You will look more youthful, and will have better skin, so you may get comments about that, but no one will probably notice that you are transitioning, unless you do things like growing your hair and nails, dress femininely, speak femininely, walk femininely, get electrolysis, have your ears pierced, and do other things that call more attention to what you are doing. The effects of HRT affect our psyches more than our physiology in the beginning, and we tend to think that we are further along than we actually are. Even if someone notices your breasts they will probably think you have moobs. I'm not telling you these things to be a "Debbie downer", I'm sharing my personal experience in hopes that you do not come out too early and upset your life, and lose your job like I did (because I followed bad advice from a therapist) one time before I actually went full time a few years later.

thank you for the advise. I am not planning on comming out to "strangers" (im out to family and a couple friend) until i feel confortable and FFS are done. However seeing the speed changes are appearing it is a bit scary ( not going back). For the skin it started to change too ( less oily)
thanks
Yeah, I would definitely have a fallback plan at this point... I couldn't hide my breasts very well anymore by three months into HRT (I was a 42C at that point) and ended up coming out at work sooner than I intended because of it. You're showing the same pattern of fast early development, so I'd think about what to do if you do have to speed up the plan.
(True binding, rather than just wearing a sports bra and layers, is not a good idea with developing breast tissue - it can damage the breasts.)
breasts are such a small issue in the overall transition process; what if someone needs FFS, has a lot of muscle they need to lose, needs major electrolysis, needs voice training, and other things done before they can realistically expect to blend in with other women; I personally do not think that someone should come out before they are completely ready to do so. What advantage is there to coming out at your place of employment just because you are showing breast development (which would probably be dismissed as gynecomastia), it's not like you will get fired because of it.
kittenpower : Well, for one thing, people CAN be fired for being trans. (But you're right that in that case it's not the breasts that are the issue.) I actually do agree with you that there could be any number of other physical issues, and that no one should feel rushed or pressured into doing something they're not ready for.
But in my experience, for me personally, early fast development was a sign that my body was exceptionally receptive to E. By six months in, I could no longer convince anyone that I was a guy even in men's clothes (including a baggy hockey jersey totally hiding my breasts) and with a male ID. So I still think it's wise to have a *fallback* plan in case things don't go according to the primary plan...
The job i am doing isnt really a problem if this is the case.
I also allready have money saved for the FFS i just need to maintain.
here is my *fallback* plan lol.
Jenna Marie, how long did it takes before you noticed changes in hips? i allready have an arched back naturally with relatively big booty and i have a waist(28)/hip(37) ratio of 0.76 . To be honest this is what matter the most to me as i dont really worry about breast size, most people in my family are C-D cup except my sister.
Archlord : I'm glad your job is good! That's a huge relief. I don't think you need FFS, either, but it's good to be prepared in general. :)
I think I first noticed changes in my butt getting bigger and rounder in the first 3-4 months; in hips (=upper thighs) there were some fat deposits by about six months but it's been much slower - still going on, in fact. I quit measuring after the first year, but at that point I'd gotten to 38-30-42. When I measured for the first time a few months ago, at ~6 years on HRT, I was 45" (under bust 37")-28-46. I think you have a terrific starting point in terms of curves!
Thanks this is encouraging. Forgot to mention the upper measurement wich makes me 35(31 underbust)-28-37. For FFS there is always place for improvement

This comes as fantastic and helpful advice to me Kitten. Although I am out to my partner, the person that matters most to me, I have just started HRT (one week in!) and was concerned about having to come out to people quicker than I am actually am ready to.
I am so sorry to hear your therapist gave you such bad advice that resulted in a terrible experience for you though. :(

More changes that i didnt expect at all :
- I had bags under eyes... well... no more they are gone :D
- Skin keep getting softer, i had a "ONE" small acne spot on my forehead for years , it would always come back ( i never had acne, only this strange spot).. well its gone!
- My butt got rounder and a bit wider
- and the most unexpected change : my lips are changing shape and getting fuller . I thought i was crazy and that i had drunk something that colored my lips so i washed and washed again(it wouldnt disapear) until i noticed i had same pattern on bottom lip. I dont know if someone else experienced this but the color isnt the same as my lips, it is lighter but definitivly connected to it. Just like when the aureola increase in size ( same light color)
Hello, I'm new here or on any trans board. My 1st post.
I may give more background in another post but for now, I'd like to share this:
I'm on my 9th day of spironolactone alone
And I see and feel changes similar to those described in this thread
Not much breast development yet, but some yes, very little but it's there.
My lips started changing too, my face is already a little rounder, the hair I hate grow much less and weaker, my head hair feels and look better... what else. My flesh is softer and more sensible, my mood and mind, the way I react to things... but mostly, it was not even 12 hours I had started on spiro that I felt my testes and scrotum shrink. Thre days after, it was verrrry obvious.
I just find strange that I seem to get results from spiro similar to those of girls taking E.
I've been reading and searching different forums and it seems we all get different degrees of reactions to either E or AA, but I was surprised of such fast result with only spiro.
I have to wait till Dec. 11 for my next appointment to start the E (can't wait).
I guess my estrogen levels were high already? I know my T level was low, but still normal for my age. I'm 53... but this is rejuvenating and my genitals feel like when I was 13... when I wasn't sure if I was attracted by boys or girls, or if I could ever really become a man.
I feel fantastic and maybe for the 1st time see things and the future without a sigh of depression.
Mod Edit- No dosages please. TOS 8
It's best to check with your doctor and not self medicate. I look forward to seeing you around the forums. Good luck and Hugs

Archlord, enjoy this time in your second adolescence! It is precious and sets you apart from the vast population in general.
This is my second time around, first time in 1996 for 7 months. Started at a higher dosage, guided by my Endo understanding I know already what I am in for.
First time around 20 years, a week in had the result of emotions growing out of control along with libido...not unbearable, but certainly strong. At month three, emotions settled and libido chilled, but never truly went away. My approach to sex changed drastically though, no desire to 'take the lead'. Was on oral with progesterone and spironolactone.
Started again on the 20th of this month with transdermal and oral spiro. I can say that my emotions have certainly responded well enough and are welcome. Finding it a lot easier to connect with people I interact with throughout the day, though that is a norm for me anyway. A kind of a peace has squelched the internal conflict of T dominance. This has been the primary change so far, though some physical stuff is starting to manifest.
Nipples have been hard since day 4 and hot flashes started yesterday. Last pree-HRT blood work showed E at 52 with T at 296, so Endo felt it appropriate to kick start things. This was happening anyway, perfect time to start building! Felt the first inklings of pain in aureola area this morning. Was 'warned' that things would move faster this time; time will tell.
Last time around I made it into an A cup by month 6 and about half of that stuck around for the past 20 years...no complaint at all. Will be interesting to see where they get too...
Again, congrats on following your heart along, what I pray will be, a most beautiful path for you!
thanks, I modified my post, sorry
Was wondering though if anyone else saw changes on spironolactone alone
...and also if I can expect to feel weaker with less T
sorry also if I intrude on someone else's thread, sorry Archlord, guess maybe I should start my own thread
:-)
Soli, the short answer to the first question is yes. Remember that each of us is different and the effects I experience may not be the same for you. Spironolactone will cause changes on its own, the primary reported is thinning of body hair over time. This is actually a huge thing, even if it does not seem so in the greater scheme.
In my case, a drop in T prior to beginning HRT was having an effect on upper body strength and I felt a general fatigue most of the time. Since starting HRT, the fatigue has become a little more pronounced by the end of the day but muscle strength seems to have stabilized. This is relative and not universal. Several sisters of mine have reported that they have not experienced any loss of strength, so YMMV.
Archlord, what has been your experience so far in this area?
How the heck have you experienced all these changes so quick? I experienced very little changes from HRT. All I really use HRT for these days is slowing facial hair growth and keeping my face clear/smooth.
No breast development apart from nipple sensitivity which quickly went away after a few months, no fat redistribution, butt/hip changes, etc.
Seems like you might be one of the lucky ones if things are happening this quickly for you!
@kaitylynn , i havent experienced any strenght loss from HRT. I allready had dropped my muscle mass before HRT so if really i am losing strenght i dont notice it anymore. I was lifting 405 lbs squat and 315 lbs bench 1 year ago. I barely do my series of squat with 135lbs now.
-Also instead of losing energy i actually gained energy. I require less sleeping. It was difficult for me to wake up early (before 10 am) now after 8:00 AM i have hard time staying in bed.
@Roni, i dont know i am suprised either. I thought that i would have terrible result due to the fact that i used Testosterone for 1 year and a half on early 20s. My breast is still sore and nipples are sensible as hell but it stopped to expand after 3 day, waiting for next wave. As for butt, i allready had big butt for a men i think i mentionned this and last month i did eat wayyyyy to much and took 9 lbs back. Most of it went directly to abdomen but i guess some went on butt .
It also appears like my bottom eyelashes grew longer too. it looks like i am wearing permanent mascara this is weird. ( could be side-effect from Nutricap too)
picture of eyelashes natural :

I am not on spiro by the way i am on androcur.
I keep thinking that due to my hormonal imbalance prior HRT, my mind allready knew how to react to estrogen. ( i am not doctor)
@Soli, you are in a forum where you are more then welcome. No worry :)
Update: Breast buds have started to form. There is hard mass that is about 3/4 inch size under nipples. They are less errect and sensible but god.... these buds are even more painful so the pain just changed spot.
Now i cant do threadmill at the gym without having them bouncing.. what a discomfort lol.
excited :)
Update 9 day later.
Last weekend i had a terrible depression, i almost killed myself and wanted to detransition. Last friday i took ( not prescribed) nolvedex, clomid and hcg to restart my natural testosterone system. I wont explain the whole story about what happened(went to hospital 2 days) but 2 days after i decided to keep going with transition. nolvedex is a strong estrogen receptor blocker just like spiro or androcur does for T and it has an halflife of 4 days and HCG is pure natural T booster.. imagine the mess combined with estrogen and anti-androgen.
Anyway i am back on my foots and the E is starting to have effects again.
Talking about progress :
-Breast buds are fully formed, nipples looks surelevated
-Areola started to expand irregulary(looks like a spike of 1 cm lighter color leaving the areola circle on both nipples).
-Areola skin changed it is more dry and a little darker.
-Some fat started to collect creating a circular look around breast. (probably begining of tanner stage 3)
-Body hair growth seems to have slowed down.
-New lip skin that i mentionned earlier is getting darker(it was light orange) at least for bottom , new top lip is still light orange.
- i feel like some fat is adding to my cheeks, unsure about this one but i think something changed in this area.
I am hyped :)
I'm glad you are in a better place mentally now. Transitioning is a hard path for anybody. You'll have to keep your head in the game but it will all be worth it.
You are really pretty by the way. You remind me of Katy Perry. Nice makeup application, and I also love your new hair; it suits you a lot better than your previous and you pass more because of it. :) You'll do great with transition, and you haven't even gotten FFS yet. I know FFS was something you said you wanted to do. You'll be a knockout.
When I started to transition in the 90's (damn, I really think OLD every time I say it) I found out that a majority of the initial changes were on the 'inside' and not the outside. For the first few months, it did not seem like a lot was happening with the body...but holy moly, the 'insides' came alive! I knew that there would be a shift towards emotional energy as I had sisters that were ahead of me. What I was not prepared for is what that actually meant. If you can, seek out the support of sisters (and brothers) that are transitioning. They are really the only ones that will truly understand what you are going through. IRL meetings, bonding and friendship are awesome and invaluable.
Just a few thoughts on early transition 'control', begin a regimen of meditation to help with the myriad of thoughts that will be starting to roll through. This is something I had established as a teen, much to simply survive what being a trans teen with ZERO support was doing to me inside. It helps hugely to be able to center and evaluate what is happening with feelings and the energy that they represent.
It is ok to question what your are doing. Self evaluation is a tool to help us recognize the path that works for us and each of us is different. If you feel that strongly that there is a question, would it possibly be a good idea to examine that feeling? Be sure of what you want (as sure as one can be) and reach out when thoughts hit. We are here to hear you, support and love you.
Again, I am certainly no expert and can only relay what has and is working/ed for me. I know first hand how tough this can be...but also know how fulfilling it is as well. Take what I say with a grain. I hope it comes across as I intend it, as simple sisterly love.
Thank you.. i live in a small city even if i am from Quebec and i dont have any trans friend. I went back to my city of birth to be with my family but by doing so, i left Ottawa where i could have met a lot of people living same thing.
This is hard for me as i am out only to 2-3 friend and i only see one of them occasionally. My others friends, i havent seen them for 5 years so i am alone with this. When not at work, i am at home, no social life really.
The only support i get is once a week by a psychologist.
IC. At the very least, you have the community here. Are there support groups through LGBT centers in your area? I know it sounds odd, but I am from a small town in Southern California where there are limited resources. I have large communities to the south and north, but my area is still small. I was able to locate a support group in a nearby town that has helped me immensely, if only to reiterate that I am not truly alone.
I was house bound raising kids in the 90's with only work as a break. Was hard to find people, but as I started to reach out sisters started to reveal and visit. Seemed a slow process, but eventually I realized that there is a vast number of us out in the world and we support one another as best we can.
Main thing, keep your chin up, chest out proud :)
I am jealous of your quick results. That must mean your body is designed to run more efficiently on estrogen :)
I am starting a new diet today.
I will be eating 1500 kcal per day high protein based diet.( 189 gr protein , 82 gr carbs and 52 gr fat.)
You may think that 1500 kcal is nothing but DAMN you have no idea how big it is when it is only horse/chicken/almonds and vegetables. I feel like i eat as much as i did when i was doing bodybuilding.
My point on doing this is i want to trim the waistline and i dont want to do it to drasticly and regain everything after. I also want to keep a decent muscle tone. I find fitness woman look attractive and this is what i am aiming for.
You may think that due to high protein input i will bulk up but nope... the calorie and carbs deficit is to important for that. Also being on estrogen and anti-androgen is making it even harder to gain muscle(if any). I believe that my muscle tone will appear more feminine over time. I am trying to concentrate efforts on my lower body ( flexibility, butt, legs, thighs, abdominals) then im burning the extra fat appearing on my arms due to muscle loss.
So i took new measurements , i gained a lot of weight last month ( gained 10 lbs ,i ate like a pig).
Today measurements 159 lbs(12 nov 2015):
35 chest -- this measurement might be uncorrect due to my back muscularity still around.
31 underbust
28.5 waist
37.5 inch hips
13.75 bicep ( flex)
11.5 bicep (rest)
13.5 inch neck
13.75 inch calve
10.5 inch forearm
21.5 thigh
Last month measurements 149lbs(8 oct 2015 ):
34 chest -- this measurement might be uncorrect due to my back muscularity still around.
31 underbust
28 waist
36.5 inch hips
14 bicep ( flex)
11.5 bicep (rest)
14 inch neck
14 inch calve
11 inch forearm
21 thigh
I am happy, from those number i can clearly see boobs growth difference and that i am getting curves on hips and thigh however i gained a lot on abdominals. I suppose time will fix this for redistribution pattern.
These are the kind of results I wish I had. 7 months and nothing. Internally or externally.
Congratulations on your success. :)
I havent posted update for 10 days. here it is :
-My lips have continued to increase in size ( more the bottom one)
-My butt has started to collect fat and fill on sides. i am so happy!!! ;D ;D
- I am not getting siginficant changes in breast size.. something is happening here for sure they hurt ( getting close to A cup , maybe 2/3 of it)
-Bodyhair takes longer to regrowth.
-Something is up with my face ( probably fat redistribution) i just cant get what changed.. it could be the skin getting softer and softer too.
I decided to not do the Diet i talked about. I will just eat less and avoid protein i feel to muscular.
here is a new album of me dated of today :
http://imgur.com/a/pIuem
Update as last day of november:
Body changes:
- Breast growth seems to have stopped after huge breast buds that it gave me ( they are 2 inch diameter).
- Fat keeps collecting around the butt/upper hips (sadly nothing on lower hips and thigh yet) but at the same time i am gaining a lot to abdominal wich suck..
- I thought my waist was slimming( still at 28 inch) but in fact it was illusion, it is fat on upper hips that makes it appear smaller.
- My butt still keep filling on sides --->Hips are now at 38 1/4 inch size.
- My bodyfat is now at 20.8% at 158 lbs. Last year i was at 5.6% at 176 lbs !!. This is around 32lbs of muscle mass loss.
- I cant find my penis, if you see it somewhere please let me know . Seriously it lost so much size i am worried.
- Libido is still gone, i didnt feel any need for a month.
- nose blackheads are gone, my nose is now soft to the touch.
Social/Psychological changes:
- I am now full-time at home ( it was kind of bull->-bleeped-<- with my parents when i decided i wanted to be in girl mode at home. It is better but they still dont want me to access certain zone in the house.. yet) and i will go socialy full time on january 1st 2016
- I told my personal trainer about what i was doing. He was fine with it and actually hyped about having this new challenge ( he is a reputed personal trainer that lead bodybuilder/fitness woman and mens into competition but never have dealed with trans.). He will help me acchieve my goal.
- I am getting questionned everyday about my condition.. i guess it is good sign.
How tall are you? Those measurements with your weight sound odd to me. I only weigh ten pounds more, but I look way bigger.
My measurements are
13 in arms
30 waist
35 chest
36 hips
38 butt
46 shoulders
14 calves
19 thighs
11 forearms
I have no idea about lifting ability, I've never stepped foot in a gym, I just do yoga everyday, but to me, I look way bigger than you. Maybe it's the shoulders. What size are your shoulders?
I also do think that you have a pretty good feminine shape, particularly for not being on HRT for very long.

i am currently 5.7ft , my shoulder are 15 inch shoulder to shoulder and 45 inch circumference.
I had 17.5 inch biceps last year, they are tiny 13.5 inch flexed now just so you understand lol.
I was lifting 315 lbs bench, 405 lbs squat, 495 lbs deadlift
I meant that I look bigger, not better, lol... the opposite actually.
The biggest difference looks like waist to hip, two inch smaller waist, almost two inch bigger hips. What kind of exercises do you do for that?
I thought that that lifting ability seemed like a lot, and since muscle weighs more than fat, you ought to have bigger proportions, than me, and weigh less. I do physically demanding work in the summer, and can carry 200 lbs up a ladder, but I somehow doubt that I could bench 300 lbs, though I've never tried.
I'm 5'10, so maybe it's the height difference that makes me look bigger (mostly giant shoulders), or maybe it's just all in my head.

I have been playing basketball for 5 year in high scool when younger wich asked a lot for lower body then after that i switched to bodybuilding. I did a LOT of leg trainings, never skipped a day and i had huge butt/hips for a men .For this reason, this gives me an advantage on others.
For getting bigger hips/butt there is no real secret.. You need to do squats/ leg press/ lunges and a lot of stretching.. with time it will add size. This is the only muscular activity i kept doing except abdominals. About height, the taller you are the taller your bones are and the more you weight it is normal..
I think i will post pre-transition pictures :)

Damn your natural talents, they inspire me to jealousy! Lol.
I was a fat kid, had an abdominal malformity, used to use puffers and stuff, because I had chest pain when I ran and over-excreted myself. Didn't know what was wrong with me, figured it out when I was twenty, and had it surgically corrected. I dropped a hundred pounds. I probably would have eventually died from it, thank you modern medicine!
So, rather, not a huge history of altheticism, unfortunately. Better now!
Yeah, you definitely look bigger than me in those older pictures. You look great now!
Thank you , glad your medical condition is better now :) there is one thing I keep repeating me when I feel like things are changlng to slow : "puberty takes year and i just started. Just enjoy the ride girl !"
Archlord,
Allo, moi aussi je suis de Quebec :)
I will continue in english for other readers.
Just found this forum tonight.
I found this topic by chance and I kind of interested to read your story because of your tattoo :p
Anyway, I don't know in which city exactly you are in the province but if ever is near Quebec City well you just made someone to talk to.
I didn't start nor plan to start a transition, well I don't think, but I do play on the line alots going enfemme many many times.
Love you look and style by the way, keep it up!
Best
Hey Archlord,
