Hi ladies-

So I am only 4 days into HRT at low dose, but was using bio-identicals leading up to t.  And BOINGO BINGO - I feel so fresh and feminine this AM even with my smaller beard still intact - I KNOW sorry - and my nipples are so VERY SORE AND PROTRUDING! finally some euphoria NOT disphoria... some that is.

Yikes I am so happy - but if this is day 4 - wow - 6 weeks may show some real change when I return to my endo!   

Love and Hugs to you all Marcie

That's great.  If your Endo does a complete examination they will probably notice some change at 6 weeks. (YMMV)

Congratulations and enjoy the feeling.

Yeah, you are a lucky one.  Some don't get the euphoric feeling till way way later if at all.  I got it first dose, and every pill after till I switch to pellets, now irlts lower but constant.

That is not at all unusual.  Enjoy both the euphoria and the nipple pain!

THANKS!  I had heard about the feeling - but first experience with it!

I also got nipple pain about 3 to 4 days after starting HRT, I wore a padded sports bra on day 4 to help protect my nipples from accidental brushes.

Gratz Sister!

It is nice to know those things are more than an ornament. But with the pleasure comes the pain.

Congratulations.  I just got my appointment to start hormones in January.  Happy New Year to me, but I am so happy for you.  Can't wait til I can report the same thing. 😊

It is great isn't it?  I love the padded bra idea.  I am soaking it isnb and trying to just think happy thoughts so I can remember how wonderful and how much better it is! 

Love and Hugs!

  I found very hard to wait, but it is worth it!  IO hope you enjoy where you are in transition and where you are going!

But such great ornaments they are!  and even the pain is a joy to me - not in a weird way but that it tells me I am becoming who I am!

well I feel unusual for who I have been - I am glad it is "normal", surprising and wonderfully normal! 


Love and Hugs, Marcie

I've felt nothing on my chest (basically a month on HRT), but about day 3 or so I just felt *right* mentally.  One of my biggest hopes of HRT was that it would mediate some emotions that always felt really foreign - like almost someone else's emotions, particularly when I was angry.  It definitely did that - it is wonderful to have some control even when I'm angry now (and it takes a lot more effort to make me truly angry!).  I wouldn't trade the mental feeling for anything at this point.

Thank you ToriJo -It definitely is something I did not expect, but is so true -I did not even know I was so angry -but my spouse said even when I was just using creams I was so happy and a different person!  I love who I am and am becoming, the sad truth is for 58 years I did not how or why I was unhappy!  These are great times when we can go through this change!

Love and Hugs, Marcie

I am.  My wife has some doubts, but is overall supportive. 

I know what you mean.  I just started and 3 hours later both nipples were erect and they have stayed that way.  I didn't know changes would happen so soon!  Wow!  I love it!
