Alana's Journey

[ChrissyRyan]

I was ecstatic picking up my patches today. The relief I felt getting the correct hormone in my system felt was unbelievable. I was noticing last night I was feeling "off" not having the correct hormone in my system.

It is good they finally came through.

Sounds like you had a nightmare. Scary the thought of this. Glad everything is sorted now!

I was making my last rounds of the night at work tonight when I noticed my chest was jiggling as I was walking. I've been having a rough night, and noticing my chest jiggling made my night better. 7 months of hrt, and things are coming along nicely. 🤩

Yes, the jiggle can sizzle!

Very nice development for you!

Your journey will bring you some surprises and pleasures.

Enjoy the good times.  But at times, as with the lack of patches for a short while, you will need to put up with the disappointments.

Ahh, the first sense of jiggle. Feels so affirming. Congratulations. I recently spent day braless and chaffed my nipples from the jiggle. So much so that I had little scabs on them.
Enjoy. Much more to come.

I was getting dressed for work, and discovered I had a new problem. I had a helluva time getting my jeans on. They don't fit at all. Hrt is doing its thing and giving me those curves. 🤩

Alana,


That is nice. I only wear female jeans and they have some more room at the hips as compared to guy jeans. 

Now if I only had the right genes my blue jeans would perhaps be more nicely filled out.

Dear Alana:

I really enjoyed reading your recent updates here on your Blog thread. 
You are indeed making good progress in your transition journey.

I agree with you, the jiggle is a lovely thing to notice... however as @Gina P mentioned
it can come with some issues.  Certainly a time to wear a bra or sports bra.

I do a lot of exercising at the gym and also running and jogging... with larger breasts
it is essential that I wear a good supportive sports bra... without a bra, the jigging
turns into painful flopping and causing nipple chafing.

Regarding your jeans not fitting correctly, during the last 10 years since I started HRT I have
changed my jeans size at least twice... I am not fatter, I am just changing where the fat is stored.

Thank you for sharing about your journey...  I continue to wish you success and happiness.

Having to resize your jeans because of where more fat is now at is a good thing!

I might have a pound more fat done there in the right place, with pretty much constant weight.  Just noticeable by me.
 
It is nice to be able to notice some of the much desired change though. 
It is more girly than before, that I can tell.  Not that perfect bubble bottom but that is okay.  It is a better look now than before HRT.

I had to adjust the rear view mirror in my car as I was sitting higher!!!

That must be the best feeling knowing that the growth is going where desired...congratulations 😊

As soon as it's going to the right places on me I'm gonna triple my intake of cakes and biscuits for a good while!

I had quite the euphoric moment today. I was picking up my coffee from Starbucks, and had a woman blatantly check me out, and flirt with me. It feels damn nice to be desired.

Dear Alana:
            💥    👍    ❣️
  Yes indeed, very affirming... and a wonderful experience. 
  I have had that same thing happen to me more than once... with both gals and guys.

Thank you sharing your good news.

Wow!  Yay!  Cool.   


Chrissy

[ChrissyRyan]

Yes, there is a pleasantry in being desired.

That applies to the value of your work, your capabilities, your character, your personality, the way you treat people, and yes, you being flirted with.

I noticed yesterday when I was making my rounds at work that my hips have a noticeable sway when I walk. I walk like a woman now. I was super excited when I noticed it yesterday, but now, I'm hyper aware of the way I walk now, and feel self conscious. Ugh 😣

[ChrissyRyan]

Try not to feel self conscious.
As long as you are not aware you are swaying your hips, then it is a natural gait or it is becoming a natural walk. 

I do not notice much of a sway when I am walking behind another woman. I do notice her shape and her hips moving ever so slightly.

I was feeling kinda down today. I wasn't being very social at the Christmas party this afternoon, and was feeling dysphoric too.. I didn't get to talk to my cousin much at the party, and was really bummed about it. Her and I are very close, and she's supported me from the early days of my journey. She wanted to get a picture of us, and I hated the way I looked in it when she sent it to me. I decided to compare it to the picture we took last Christmas, and omg, my face has changed. My face has gotten smoother, and softer. One minute I'm feeling dysphoric, the next minute I'm feeling euphoric.

Dear Alana:
Thank you for sharing your update. 
Your description of this year's picture of you and your cousin and
comparing it with last year's picture revealed your body's changes
as a result of just 7 months of your HRT, and as you continue
in your transition journey, you will be seeing more dramatic changes...
... hang on tight, your journey is about to become more exciting.

Please keep your updates coming.
