Hi All,

First of all, I just want to acknowledge how great this site has been for me in my journey to transition. I'm currently on my 2nd month on HRT and when I first started I felt the euphoria and the calmness that Estrogen provided to me mentally and physically.

Since then, my dose has been increased slightly on my second month. I am currently noticing that my moods have been swinging beyond my control and feeling a bit down lately. I am not sure if this has something to do with my HRT or sometimes thinking that I am not seeing the results as quickly with HRT. I am also noticing that I am overly conscious about my appearance and making sure that I pass when I am out ugh - I am getting tired of it and so are my close friends.

I'm sharing this to know if anyone had gone through this phase and any tips to cope with this change. I thank you for your time.

Carmen

Thanks VM I'm glad to be here.

Hi Carmen, welcome to Susan's from two hours west
To address your question, somewhere around my sixth week (? I think ?) I experienced some profound mood swings, I would find myself weeping uncontrollably for no apparent reason. The rollercoaster eventually evened out, and calm returned. I am in a much better place now, a lot more even tempered, emoting appropriately and loving it

hugs,

Girl, you are simply amazing! Only two months in? You will do very well.

Yep, what she said.    and yeah, can relate to the emotion thing, more than you can imagine!!!  Glad to have you.  Dani

Thanks ladies. Your support has been amazing. Today is better - I think the early morning prayer had an impact on me. I know better days are coming.

Love and Respect,
