Finally hear 1 month hrt mark never thought I would be hear but I made it 1 month, thank god! I'm so happy and grateful for my dad because through his support I was able to start my transition. My dad is a really "mans man". He's an ex body builder very into sports typical man lol. Since I came out to him he's been blossoming into this supportive man it's so beautiful, it makes me want to cry. He wants me to be happy and love myself, ill be his only daughter so i'll feel special lol! A few changes Iv'e noticed weight loss is number 1! Before starting hrt I was 180lbs now I weigh in at 165lbs, im not sure if im losing fat or muscle maybe both. My skin is so soft I can stop feeling up on myself lol also major breast development when I go up and down the stairs I have to hold them because they bounce up and down it hurts. Decrease of acne majorly my face is really clear now. Decrease in my sex drive. Also mentally iv'e been feeling pretty good patient, a little moody but im pleasant most of the time .

Hi Dlee,

Congratulations on your one month anniversary.  How refreshing to hear about your dad and his manly man support for his new daughter.  I like his confidence and apparent flexibility.  Yes, you are special.  I share many of the changes you describe--bouncy breasts that hurt, softening skin and almost absent horniness after 2 and a half months on HRT.  I also have a new sense of calm confidence partly from the affirmation that this is the right path for me.  It certainly sounds like you too are moving toward a new and lovely outlook?

Hugs,

Tessa James

Wow, that is great! Glad to hear how things are going good for you--on the home front and on HRT!

Congratulations!  It's awesome to hear that everything is going so well (except for the chest pain, but hey that means it's working).   

Also, it's great that your father is accepting.  Mine is very much a man's man as well, so I am hoping I will have a similar experience.  However, I'm the only "son"; therefore, I imagine there is some fun times to be had in the near future.
