Title: (a lot of) questions about HRT
Post by: chaotictkd on April 14, 2018, 11:44:51 AM
hi,

so i'm a 14 y.o (FtM) who started HRT on april 10th which was fairly recent. i've seen older people talk about their experiences but then say "but i'm (age) so it'll be easier for you!" with that said, starting HRT benefits you if you are young? as in, the changes are faster and more "visible"? as well, for my voice drop- since i am young, should i not expect too highly of it? or should i not have high expectations of change anytime soon? i know it greatly depends on genes so i will be asking my male relatives soon about their change but does age also help "speed" it up? lastly, my chest! i feel like i have a small-medium chest (in the front, it's not too noticable but on the side view- definitely can see a bump) so will it decrease in size as well? (my dosage is .25mL if that helps)

i'm at the stage where i look andro but my voice isn't very masculine nor feminine. my body isn't helpful either for them to observe to figure it out. i hope i can become more confident :/ thank you, sorry for the questions lmao -chaotics
