I was just thinking this!!

I remember the first time I took my HRT, almost to the minute!

Congratulations agfrommd (she who I call "Agg From'd" LOL) May your new life unfold in ways expected, and unexpected...but all for the good!
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

Wow this is awesome hon. I really needed some happy news tonight. May I make a suggestion? Document your changes. Maybe take pics at different intervals? I was too impatient to do this and now I kinda wish I had.

Congrats and good luck! How does it feel?

This is a good idea.   I was glad I did, I doubt I would even have noticed the changes as they happened.

....and so it begins  :D

Just like Meghan said, you will not forget where you were when you started your medical transition.  Me, I slapped on a patch in the docs office, didnt even wait until i got home!

Good Luck, stay in touch.

Thanks for all the congrats, everyone. I hadn't planned to post an update (It's only a couple days) but since you asked...

My doctor told me the dose he started me on was low, and that I probably wouldn't notice, anything, just a little breast tenderness.

He was wrong!

Yes, my breasts are tender, (though not to the painful stage where every car door is after them). I've noticed I kind of smell funny, or maybe am more aware of my smell that had been there all along.

Possible TMI Alert: And the experience of sexual arousal and release is really, really different. Visual stimulation did nothing for me (unusual), and I didn't feel much of an interest in trying anything else, but I was curious so I decided to see what my body would do anyway. I needed to stimulate myself with my mind, not just my body. It was worth it. Under my male endocrines, the less interest I had the less intense the sexual release. Doesn't work that way now... I didn't expect anything from the release . Boy was I wrong! The main difference is that it felt like something that was "happening to me" rather than something that I was doing. I look forward to experimenting further... [/TMI]

But the biggest effect of "vitamin E" has just been feeling amazingly happy. Don't know if that's a physiological reaction or a placebo effect, but I'll take it.

That's actually a very good way of describing intimacy...I *love* "being done", instead of doing...and when I "do" someone else, its not for my pleasure (although I do enjoy it ;) ), its for theirs.
