Hey,
So, have the most amazing craving for lemons.. I cut them in half and put in my drink mixes all day long..  I opened one today and ate it..   Also pickles, cheese and the spicier the better..
I was kidding with my ex and said I think I am having a false pregnancy... then I thought wonder what the top things women crave when pregnant.. and sure enough it was some of those things.
My E was way high last time I saw my endo so she reduced my intake and also increase T blockers which I had quit taking thinking the E and past T blocker had destroyed my manhood..
Anyway now chest is hurting.. my bottom is getting huge.. and I know my chest is growing..
Its aggravating because I had body shaping done and now I have this bigger bottom and chest...
So be warned maybe body shaping should be done 3 years after start of HRT..
I am hoping it will settle down..  I am also boy crazy right now..
I really have no idea why suddenly I would be having more changes.. 
I suppose its just one more surprise during transition.. My ex loves it and says suffer.. in a kind way.. she kids me and when the Muppet show was on the other night said I reminded her of miss piggy.. LOL..
I suppose thats not a bad thing but I refuse to date a frog......
Funny, I can say HIIIII Yaaaa just like her.. LOL
Hugs to all
Keri

well one thing the spiro has tons of potasium in it so it makes you really crave salt. That and waking up every few hours to pee. ohh spiro and the love hate relationship I have with you :-P

I'd even say to wait longer for surgeries... breast development can take 5-10 years and fat redistribution is usually slow. Almost 6 years on HRT and I'm still seeing changes, especially butt and hips rounding out.

Hi Girls,
Well I suppose I am going to be super super curvy.. I did not want to wait because I am 56... time is a wasting..
I get it on the spiro now.. that makes sense.. I pee a lot and I have cramps in my feet. I have GRS in 4 months.. so I think I am going to go off the Spiro in the next month or so..
After all after GRS wont need anymore.
I hit the jackpot on the hormones.. who would have thought..
I just pray my boobs don't get much bigger.. ..dang..

LOL, oh to have that problem, hehehe.

I had heard about boobs growing in spurts, and I can now attest to that. I've grown nearly half a cup size in the last two days after about 6 weeks of nothing.

I was craving pickles like a mad woman for a few weeks not long ago. And fried pickles were the greatest thing EVER! Also Bojangles seasoning, it goes on nearly everything...

Good luck with any further development Keri.

hormones - they are the best of times and they are the worst of times - happy for you Keri that right now you are having the good times - i'm fighting the raging T right now after a Lupron shot that should eventually shut it down - one can only hope - then maybe i'll be enjoying the good times again - i'm jealous

be well

Glad to hear your progress and all hard times pass Keri!   Have you discussed it with your endo?


My cravings started up again now that I think about it.  Pickled beets and chocolate covered almonds!

Well you just started HRT ... just wait..u will

Its funny when I was 1st getting started on my HRT, no sure what med it was (spiro, or  whatever) but I always had the taste of Cherry in my mouth, like I had just finished a Cherry Lozenge. Weird. Last year '14 was a waste of time for me on my HRT. At 1st I was put on the shots. then after 90 days w/ no results, they upped my dosage. The skin on my hands & feet started to dry blister. So they took me off for a few weeks & tested me again. So Dr Teri decided thank since the E dosage wouldn't over take my T levels, I was castrated! SNIP SNIP. That was almost a year ago. Then they tested me again & gave me the patch. I am still on them. When ever Vikki my GF/mentor & I were laying out on our stomachs, people would comment about my smokers patch. I guess it is more acceptable to have a smokers patch then an E patch. I'll have to get used to it forever.       

One good thing that I had before HRT is that nature gave me a girly butt, hips & thighs. used to get my butt kicked for it by a bunch of jerks at school. Like to look them up & send them a pic of me now as Bridget.

It would be nice if they made heart shaped (or other designs) patches, then you could have a cute tan line when you took it off.

Thanks Lost Charlie.. I know.. I am a girly girl.. kinda sucks kinda doesn't.. its weird..  Being a woman is so hard on so many levels.. but I am what I am.. .   
I am ready to get this pregnancy over with... I hope I don't get stretch marks.. LOL
Keri

I wish my endo would look into changing my doses. She checked the blood a while back. I have a feeling either the next time or the time after she'll check again. I'm hoping she'll make changes then. It feels like not much is growing. I had quite a bit at first, but it slowed down.

You look great Keri!

Thanks Harley
My ex laughed at me last night out with friends because I try to hide my butt... seems to move a lot when I walk and I am self conscience about it.. especially when guys go.. after you babe.. like last night at the club.. the bathroom was downstairs and guys would always follow me up the stairs
Seems she gets a kick out of me suffering the womans woes..
I know they were looking at my butt.. seriously...
I wear a lot of lounge wear from Soma.. its long .. but still does not hide it that well.
Thanks to Dr. Z I got what I wanted.. lol..
Life is a crack up.. I must say
Keri
