My doctor is now having me due labs Tomorrow (my first labs ever for being on hrt) we have reached the 2 month point. I have not noticed much but softer skin and somewhat sensitive nipples. Well also reduced male sex drive and more emotional in a good way.

But what can I expect to see once she changes it. She is defiinatelty changing it after she sees the labs but, when I reach appropiate female levels for my particulat body, what happens next>

I got happier and was able to get off all my psych meds.

Hmm, well I am taking Lithium too, which is one I never tried before also, its giving me great energy and balance, its the one I avoided for many years, and turns out it helps.

If lithium helps, you definitely want to keep on it.  I had major depression and anxiety issues, but HRT fixed that.
