Okay, now you have my attention. what changes at six months?

Okay, now you have my attention. what changes at six months?

For me that is when the healing began to accelerate--the swelling really began to go down around month eight.  The labia became more defined and the swelling around the mons area went away.  The discomfort I was feeling around the clitoris diminished and things began to feel good.  Even after twelve months I'm still noticing changes.  I just have a little layer of fat at the top of the main incisions which should go away over time.

My hormones began to regulate just after six months and I was feeling more emotionally and mentally stable.  I increased my dosage 3 months ago by half a mg and that even made me feel better--I'm going to see my doctor on Monday about increasing permanently.  The increase in estrogen smoothed and tightened my skin and also gave me noticeable breast development which I am comfortable with.

All in all things are good and I'm satisfied with the results.  I've had no complications and very slight loss of depth--I'm fortunate and grateful because things could have gone drastically wrong.

Let me just add that, for the first time in my life, I'm happy and calm and animals and babies love me!!!!!!!
