Title: 10 weeks in
Post by: Moyshe313 on November 08, 2016, 06:39:22 PM
10 weeks in to HRT and wow, things have changed. As much as I was skeptical about HRT even working for me, I feel wonderful. My mind and body has really taken to the estrogen. Breast and hip growth has been noticeable, to where men's jeans don't fit right and I need a cami to keep everything in place. I never thought I'd be ditching the men's clothes already. I've been more on the femme side of Andro. Still just a lot of jeans and hoodies but shopping more in the Women's section. Today, I got my first women's haircut. A easy pixie cut that can go either way, but this was the first day I saw a female in the mirror. I almost cried in the salon. Feels good to see the last year and a half of confusion and fear has paid off

Aw thats so nice!, its great when you finally start seeing yourself properly. The tears in the corners of the eyes is a good sign, sign of joy. I have had this experience! :')

That's wonderful!  I am about 3 months in and noticing similar changes.   It's a great feeling.
