I apologize in advance for how clinical this may seem. I find that when I want to document things for myself or others it helps if I use professional terms and language. Anyways, here we go.

I am a 30 year old AMAB caucasian. 5'9" and ~200 lbs. Both sides of the family came from Norway. I have one sister and my parents are both still alive.

November 27th, 2017: Started on Hormone Replacement Therapy consisting of X mg Estradiol and XX mg of Spironolactone. Estradiol administered sublingually per advice of endocrinologist, and Spironolactone administered via oral route per endocrinologist. Shaved all body hair and facial hair immediately before starting therapy.

November 28th, 2017: No noticeable changes to body. I have noticed what may be mental changes, but can not definitively say if it is psychosomatic or actual. Solo romantic activities seem more intense.

November 29th, 2017: Still no noticeable changes to body. Barely noticeable mood changes; I feel less of an urge to beat my chest and show that "I'm the alpha, I'm in charge, listen to me". In other words, a slightly lessened urge to feel manly. Possible tingling/sensitivity to breast tissue/areolas. I need to point out that the placebo effect does work on me, so all my research and question asking could be leading to a psychosomatic nerve response. Solo romantic activities definitely more intense. Not by much, but enough to be noticeable. Skin may feel softer, won't know until I can definitively see it based on photographic history. Felt a definitive shift in mood at work. I got incredibly depressed for absolutely no reason, and fought my way through it to return to a mostly normal mood.

November 30th, 2017: Skin feels softer. I don't know if this is because I'm exfoliating or some other reason. I haven't noticed anything else out of the ordinary yet.

(Will be at a convention until Tuesday, so no updates until then. Sorry. :/)

If anyone viewing this wishes for additional types of information please feel free. I'm deliberately leaving out the details of my solo romantic activities and restroom habits until I know for certain I am allowed to discuss it here.


Thank you.

Just so you know, they don't like you to divulge your dosage amounts here.

I'm not sure what you expect to happen from being on HRT for 2 days.
Give it a month or two before you start noticing things of any significance.
Also age will be a considerable factor.
Do you mind me asking how old you are?

Agreed with Lexi. It's too soon to have any noticeable changes. Also, you should definitely edit the dosages out.

Modified the post and added in some basic demographic information about myself.

Apologies about the dosage listing.

Seven months later, and I have an update!

My breasts are starting to grow! My nipples and areola are coning out.

Starting to *really* like how my partner smells! I could huff him all day....

Becoming a little obsessed with my hair. I used to just put it in a ponytail, and occasionally put it into a very tight braid. Now I'm trying different ways of putting it up.

MUCH softer skin.

No noticeable loss of muscle tone. I'm sure it will happen.
