I am 24 years old, and after finally coming out 5 months ago, and working toward discovering who I am I am about to start hormones on Nov. 17th! Can any of you lovely ladies give me an idea of what to expect? I have done a lot of research, but I can never have enough! Is my age an issue? Will I feel any different right away? Anything else?
I'm so excited! I am so blessed to live in a state where this process is so easy. ^_^

This will give you a lot of info. It can't change bones, but it will help over time distribute fat and help you grow breasts. Size can differ widely too. I have had pretty good results myself so far in that regard. Muscle mass and strength will likely decrease. For me the ones that happen the quickest were the mental and smell changes. Both pluses in my book. Also it does generally slow down male hair growth. Hugs
