I feel like I've been reborn!! I'm so happy and the doctor was wonderful and saw that I was nervous and anxious so really made an attempt to relax me and make me feel at home. Im on low dose estradiol twice a day and spiro also twice a day. She expects that to increase soon! Im very emotional about it all as it's a day i thought I'd never see until very recently. I will keep you all posted on my progress .....

 Well that's 24 hours and no boobies!!...lol.... Feeling wonderful today and very relaxed which is all probably mental at the relief of finally being on HT. I have felt a sensation going through my body several times now. It starts at my head and works it's way down until i can feel it all over. Its almost a cleansing feeling and has lasted for 15-20 minutes each time.... Very comforting...

I'm about at the 6 month mark of estrogen and about 10 months on T-blockers.

(Do i say i started HRT in june or Feb ?, i have no idea)

The latter i think dehydrate you and that changes the color/smell of urine. The former i have noticed seems to have shrunk my bladder size, i stay pretty well hydrated now but i pee all the time. I don't believe i have noticed anything else from the estrogen pee wise.

LOL actually I'm pretty sure I know the feeling!

As for the pee I haven't noticed anything different with mine at all. You haven't had anything different to drink by chance have you?
