Title: I've finally gotten hormones! And so many changes so quickly
Post by: Robin C. on September 06, 2008, 10:28:15 AM
After a 'longer than usual' wait for hormones [complications, additional bloodwork, and one MRI scan later] I was finally given the subscription from my endocrinologist last tuesday [or monday. . .  something like that].

I've seen a lot of videos on YouTube from transgirls who had gone through minimal changes for 2 months so I wasn't expecting anything physically noticeable for weeks. I started my regime about 4 days ago and within the first day my chest had completely 'changed shape' as it were and my breast continued to grow quite quickly. I'm now already an A cup and my hips are really starting to take form and my cheeks are much more 'marshmallow-ish'. I'm so surprised at how quickly and seamlessly my body is taking to the new hormone regime. 'Thought I might share.

Really?  I've never heard of hormones doing anything that fast - that's incredible.

Really? How come?

Keep in mind my case is a bit different since I already had a SMALL bit of breast growth before starting anyway - but I assure you, I have nothing to gain for making this up. I just wanted to share.

That's not terribly supportive. Unless, of course, you're an endocrinologist. If you are, I apologise.

Never underestimate the power of positive thinking, too.  The brain has way more control over the body than we give it credit.  :)
