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 !

Congrats Mona, on the one month milestone and the beginning of change. Sit back and enjoy the fun is just starting.
Hugs,
Laurie

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!
