No, some T is made by the adrenal glands over the kidneys. Not much, but taht's where women get their small amounts of T.

I had no preconceived notions of what it would do for me, just that I needed it BADLY.

I cannot even imagine going off of it.

I had my first female orgasm after a couple days on low dose E. Totally took me by surprise. An amazing feeling. You could definitely say that's a change I love, maybe a bit too much.

Few days?? REALLY?  Lucky.

Well in some ways. I certainly haven't felt the emotional miracles that other posters are talking about. Part of that could be that my wife just asked for a divorce so everything feels pretty crappy. Still I was really surprised because my doctor told me not to expect anything.

I am so sorry to hear that. BIG 

My emotional change on e far outweighs my physical changes so far. I feel more......complete.

Even with the original low dose I knew that E was deffinitely "It".  The GID reduced very quickly and unlike other girls I actually feel E did magical things to me.  Now just need all the distractions and personal family issues to go away.

For me, it seemed that after a week or so a light switch was flipped.  Everything seemed much more intense, smells, colors and even tastes were all amped up.  Also I finally felt balanced in my body, and not like I was struggling with it. It just made me feel "right" somehow.  I couldn't imagine going off now that I know how it feels.

You know I never really believed when I was pre-HRT that E could change your orgasm when people said it did but it actually does.

While I can't say for certain if I've had a "female" orgasm, I can say that it has changed drastically since my pre-HRT days. It's become far more intense and as best I can describe it feels like a shockwave travelling through my entire body.

In the spirit of honesty, I have this wired feeling like there's nothing really left for me here as a man. The air is stale. I can't picture things getting much better or worse. I think that's a pretty good sign that something drastically needs to change. I'm not depressed at all, but I am not remotely happy either. It's just sort of grey. And all things being equal, I'd rather have a chance at smiling with the sun on my face again. That's what I mean when I tell people " I have to know."

Oh, God, that's like EXACTLY how I felt right before I started HRT. I was constantly in a state that I now call "dull gray drear" mode, where although I could be happy, it just never felt like true happiness, and sadness never felt like true sadness. And when I heard about all of the mental changes that were possible on HRT, things like finally experiencing a sense of self and the like, that was one of the things that finally did push me to go for it. I knew that if there was a chance out there of finally being happy after a lifetime of being unhappy with my physical self and feeling "meh," I had to try for it. And once I did... oh my God! I'm with the last few posters. I can't fathom ever going back off of E now that I've started. It has COMPLETELY changed the way that I experience the world.

Yes.  A new calmness and general feeling of well being.  Physical changes are slow, but steady and just feel right.  Maybe I finally feel normal.

It's so good to hear all these responses. So sick of living in a grey world where happiness seems not only elusive,but down right mythical at times.

After my 1st week I can already notice changes in skin/hair, a little more emotional but not extreme.  It's very exciting to start the journey and see/feel the changes.  Now I'm impatiently waiting for more!

I like about as much as I thought I would, which is quite a lot.

Yes, yes I do.

I think it's more than estrogen that brings happiness. I think a lot of it is knowing your finally heading in the right direction with your life. And your one step closer to being the person you want to be. Estrogen can improve your mood but overall its about finding happiness within yourself and learning to love life that brings about true happiness. btw I love your avatar!

Cheers to that

I think I know what you're talking about, but I know pre-hrt, if I hadn't anything for a while, and then the next time if i i went slowly on purpose to let the "pressure" felling build up it was better than normal. slowly meaning get close, and then back of for a minute or 2 and repeat for like, 10 times.
