First Month Update.
I just had my one month checkup with the doctor. My blood work was great and that was a relief because I was worried about the years of herbs I took. She also increased my meds and said that this is the "Full Dosage" but we still might need to adjust it later. Did I mention that I hate needles? I almost passed out when they took my blood. That is really the only thing I have a hard time with.
Things I have noticed is my breast are growing again, they are tingly and almost always hard. Ive lost a little weight around my waist but that might be from exercise. My skin is really soft, a lot more then when I was taking herbs. Morning erections stopped on day 12 and haven't came back lol. My doctor said "wow that was fast." Nothing mental going on other than just a little more emotional but not to bad. I'm still happy all the time and so far no mood swings.
I ask her if I started "pigging out" if the weight will go to the right places now. lol I have lost some weight before and am down to 140. I would like to be 155-160. My current sizes are Chest 34, waist 27.5 and hips 36 and I am 5'9"
I think that's about it for this month. I will post my 3 month update soon.
Hugs,
Chelsea
@ Chelsea: Thanks for posting your One Month HRT update. What you mentioned about your results and body changes so far are about normal judging from my own experience. Oh yeah, I hate needles too but how else are they going to get your blood to do the blood work... and that is certainly good that the blood work results were OK with your Doctor. It is good that the herbs that you had taken did not mess up the test results. Increased to full dosage... well that is good but in my case the dosages were adjusted several times.
Yes, isn't that exciting when your notice that your breasts are growing... tingly and always hard... exactly what happens.... and sensitive too.... and my nipples always stuck out a lot.... they could have poked holes in my shirts if they had gotten any more erect and hard!!! LOL
Also, yes.... morning wood will just about stop from now on, or at least it did for me at that stage of my HRT regimen... and later in my HRT even if I had tried to get an erection there was nothing!!! That is a blessing for us MTFs.
You didn't say what your doctor told you when you asked her about you pigging out to make curves in the right places. I kinda doubt she told you to go ahead.... but if you are trying to gain 15 - 20 pounds... please enjoy burgers, fries, milk shakes, ice cream, candy..... big steaks and baked potatoes!!! LOL But then once you reach your goal it might be hard to stop eating all of that good food. Please let me know how that works for you!!!
Right now I think that the measurements you stated for your body are a wonderful start to a feminine figure.... nice curves already but just a few more inches here and there in the right places will result in a terrific shape for you.
Again, Chelsea, thanks for posting and sharing your update... please don't wait until your 3 month update to keep us in the loop about what's happening with your and your HRT.
Hugs, and well wishes.
