Liz what kind of changes are you experiencing?  Positive/Negative side effects?

I guess at my age I have to be patient. Changes I have noticed are subtle. I have a slight overall weakening in strength...not great amount just slight at this stage, my mood is hugely improved with less dysphoria than I had. With the lessening of my Dysphoria I have had room for other stuff in my head. I had about two -3 years of really low T which actually caused the start of breast formation all of which was stopped when I was administered T. Most of the breast enlargement went down over the next 6 months however with no more T being introduced and now with added Estrogen I can see that the breast shape is changing to a rounder shape and my nipples are sore and beginning to enlarge. They are not "big" or even really noticeable except for a change in shape when looking down. In the mirror I can't see anything really. My measurements have changed slightly by about 2 cms but that could also be a day to day fluctuation...will seen in another 3 months

The biggest thing I have noticed is emotional change. I seem to be more susceptible to crying than before and I actually feel way better once I have cried. Before if I cried I just felt miserable and stayed that way....if I cry now it seems to "cleanse" my system and I feel great. Happy is happier, sadder is very sad...heightened emotions I think is how it is described. I feel much more relaxed than I ever have. I feel more "in tune" if that is a better description. Most of what I am experiencing at the moment is somewhat muted because it is only recently that I have started on  the full dose. I would think that by mid October when I have had 3 months at this full dose I should be able to see some definite physical stuff.

Hugs

Emotional and physical changes at the same time are so comforting.
