Hrt 3 Weeks

[Guest PhoebeJoan]

I received my prescription from the endocrinologist on June 8th, however my sperm cryopreservation was booked in for June 14th, so I delayed my hormone pick-up till immediately after that appointment, to resist temptation. That was an excruciating and emotionally taxing 6 day wait lol.

So on June 14th, an hour after I had my little guys frozen, I began. Currently, im only on low-dose Progynova and Androcur, which im content with due to my increased risk of DVT, clotting, PE's, etc, due to a family history of Leiden Factor 5 blood disorder. I stay fit and healthy, and have a healthy diet, and I also dont drink much alcohol other than a bottle of wine each fortnight. Currently I am 22.5yo.

The androgen in the first few days made me very tired and foggy in the head, but I take it once daily after breakfast, so im usually tired for a few hours anyway. I think my body is much more used to it now though.

The androgen effects were almost instantaneous. Within the first few days, my libido noticeably lessened, masturbations felt different, etc. In the following weeks my sexual organs have subtly shrunk, and now I never feel the desire to self gratification, no unwanted erections. I feel its important to maintain it every now and then though, maybe so the body remembers and I dont completely lose it. Also every once in a while, I might feel a peculiar 'spark' or feeling sweep through my sexual organs.

My gender dysphoria has also been greatly lessened, these really are magic pills!

I still feel frustrated at times, I still live in male-mode atm, but the fleeting high's and agonising, extended lows of GID seem to have been flattened out. Along with my libido, these two changes have been quick, significant and enormously beneficial. A general dulling of the pain. Mentally I feel slightly different, and maybe even more impatient and bored in regards to 'men' conversations.

As for feminising changes, it is only 3 weeks in, so many moons to go yet.

My skin has noticeably become softer in certain areas.

Sometimes when I walk by the mirror and catch a sideways glance, I see something is going on. I cant quite put my finger on it, but it has started subtle work on the face. No one has mentioned anything yet.

I havent observed any change to my areolas yet, nor felt that small nugget forming behind the breast that people often describe. Could happen any day now. However I swear there is a subtle difference in volume of my breast/pec area, like a marginal redistribution of fat. I have also subtly felt this in other areas as well. Could just be imagining things?

Soooo, after three weeks, my skin is much softer and the androgen effects have been considerable.

My sexual drive and gender dysphoria have been significantly reduced.

Happy with the results so far

Glad to hear that you are doing so well. Yeah I think the most of us locals here say "HRT does a body good."

It seriously helped with my dysphoria also. Thats the thing that i am happy about the most. Im glad about all the physical effects for sure, but being able to think is just such a huge relief. Don't know of really any other way to describe that.

Youre on the rollercoaster ride of your life, please fasten your seatbelt and adjust your lap bar accordingly. The womanhood express is picking up steam fast!

Have fun its truly an amazing journey
