grats!

so lucky being able to start young, i didnt get to start till i was 20
big diffrence with age, oh dear i feel old

apprently you get more effect with HRT if your younger

Yes, things work much more effectively when you start younger.  Watch what you eat, estrogen tells your body to store fat in several places, some of them great (boobs, butt) and some of them not so great (tummy).  Don't forget to exercise, too.

Like my life had finally begun and great things were ahead. I was right.

CONGRATS!!! I wish I was your age when I started my life would have so much diffrent now.

I'll be honest.  When I saw the subject title I thought maybe there was somewhere giving out free hormones; hormone awareness month or something.


Congrats!!!!

what is the average age for starting HRT?
i do know there is a genral trend of people starting younger now than before

I didn't start until after I was 50, and I really wish I could have done it about 30 years sooner.

I feel old. I feel like ive wasted a lot of time ..but im ready for those changes please, with a side order of happiness on the side!

You really need to actively choose your source of happiness, every single day.  In my case, one day every week it's my regular electrolysis visit (my electrologist is an absolute sweetheart of a lady), every other week it's my therapist's session.  All the other days, it's twice, when I put estradiol tablets beneath my tongue in the morning and evening.

Some of the more significant events that should thrill you when they happen:
a) noticing your urine no longer smells so strong in the morning
b) noticing your sweat no longer smells so strong at all, anymore
c) when little hard lumps form behind your nipples
d) when those lumps form into tiny mounds
e) when you no longer wake up with morning erections

There's a few more, I just can't think of them, right now.

Soundssss amazinnnnnnnnggg

Congrats on starting early in life! You're so blessed to be starting earlier rather than later. You'll enjoy the changes!

Gawd, if I could only go back my teens and slap myself and say "Oh no you don't! You keep taking those pills!!", I'd do it in a heartbeat...

Think think come back when you do

RoseBlossom, you deserve those pills indeed   Dunno about the young thing though haha, it gives extra chances for great results is what I think

Sophie, don't be too concerned about youth versus age.  I didn't start HRT until after age 50 and I've developed a lovely B cup bosom in two and a half years.  I haven't been blessed with any other curves, but who knows what may appear after I lose more weight?  I'm hoping the HRT keeps the fat where we girls prefer it.

I'm starting HRT this month too. I get my prescription on the 9th. I've been waiting for so long that I can't believe it's finally happening.

CONGRATS TO ALL THE GIRLS STARTING HRT i hope the changes are everything you expect and more hugs
