Title: 1 Month !!!
Post by: MonaBlaire on July 20, 2017, 02:16:56 AM
So I started HRT about a month ago and I'm so happy.. However there's some odd stuff I wasn't expecting..

I've found myself more aware of my depression and anxiety. That's not to say I feel worse ; I just feel like this new awareness is giving me more drive to get help.
My temper is much different also.. I feel less angry and annoyed with people, but definitely more blunt.

However, I noticed breast buds growing about a week ago and by today my nips are just sore all the time..

Thanks for listening to my ramblings !

Hi, MonaBlaire!

The HRT sure sounds like it is working.  I noticed similar changes in temperament about three weeks into HRT, as the anti-androgens did their thing and my testosterone levels dropped.  It was a tremendous relief for me. 

The breast buds sound like they are right on schedule as well.  Congratulations!
