The anti-Androgen effects e.g. reduced sexual drive, no auto-erection etc. became significant on me after about 7-10 days, but estrogen effects have not been significant until later than 1.5 months. Well, the doctor did mention that my estrogen dosage is very "conservative" at the current stage.

sylvannus" I have almost the same exact hoodie and shirt as in your avatar, except my hoodie is lime and the top is more boat neck! It's weird, my dose seems like opposite of yours: conservative AA and regular E. I can't wait til I start normal spiro so my changes can accelerate. I think they should as I can still perform. I was on a more normal dose of AA last year but I had to stop for a variety of reasons. So, I'm being eased into it this time.

Unfortunately no, I don't think have a very female face.  Of course that is judging myself but with even a woman's t shirt on and combing my hair a different way maybe.  My wife and cousin think with the right hair and w/o any signs of facial hair along with my face changing will on HRT I will look like a female.  I have been out and tried on different wigs (to a wig store that has hundreds)  to see what length to grow my hair.  Boy, was that an experience there.  Nothing like having guys look at you thinking wtf.  But girls on the other hand actually started to get involved and helped the workers at the store pick them out LOL esp when the guys went slack jawed.  I was surprised when a woman next to me (she was getting the lace cut, I guess fitted may be the word) picked out the best looking one and her bf/husband actually said that it looked pretty good. I was not expecting that.  Right now my real hair looks like a mop.  In another 3 months I'm going to go in to get it styled to get it under control and will get my eyebrows shaped.  But I will need to let it grow long and have some curl to it which will be another year since my hair seems to take its time growing.  I also will start electrolysis in Aug when I get an extra few K paycheck so that will hopefully cover it for 6 months till the next extra pay comes up.   

I will most likely wait till we get back from vacation and continue on HRT, esp since the Dr thinks that would be best with how fast things are happening (No complaints though, and it does make me feel better knowing that it's happening).  I do have 2 young kids and we will be going swimming and I don't think there is a thing in the world when I get the shirt wet to hide what's underneath, well maybe some tan duct tape lol j/k ).   

Was your chest really elevated 1 1/2 inches? That's a lot. It's like like almost a B cup.  Well, you would wear a B cup. What is your band size? That makes a big difference as to how noticeable they are. I have a 35 band size and my chest measures 37 so that's a 36B. I know some people still use the whole add four inches thing to the band size but that is such an anachronism.

But I guess if it's just the area around the nipple, you wouldn't have, like, uh, bouncy boobs. Trust me you'll know it when you feel it. I don't know how to put it lol. 

I measure 40" under the pecks (I won't call them breast since they don't look like it). On the peck muscle/nipple area it's 43".  The muscles are not rock hard since I've changed my workout routine to doing more reps so I won't get bigger, but will stay toned.  Of course I did change to higher reps with all the lifting parts in P90X.  Yes, just the nipple and areola area got puffy and stuck out, not the whole area that is how I noticed it and was surprised.  I'm on a high dose of E.  When I go back in for the next appointment (which may be Aug if I wait till after vacation) I will start AA.  She does them 2 months apart since if a problem comes up they will know if it is the E or AA and she can adjust or fix it.  I'm not complaining I much rather be safe than sorry that is why I went to the Dr. instead of self medicating. 

By the way Joanna Dark your pic looks great.  You got the right eyes and the right chin and you would pass in my book any day.  I got a more square jaw line and of course that lovely dimple in the chin.  By the way I love the game too N64 version is still the best!

Aww thanks you made my Sunday lol but yeah Perfect Dark is the only game I ever liked as much as Zelda (any Zelda, they're all awesome).

In fact both my AA and E are at the lowest dosage (and that is what every Endo normally does), but AA had a stronger effect on me than everyone ever expected. Perhaps I am sensitive to it, perhaps my original T secretion is so weak, and it may also have something to do with ethical origins... Anyhow, the result is satisfying.
