1week on hrt

Be patient, Rome was built in a day or even seven. ;)

Remember that puberty doesn't happen overnight for cisgender either, it is a process and it takes a while but changes are happening, too small to notice at first, very subtle and mostly internal but they are happening.

Congratulations on having taking the first step on this part of your journey.

Love ya,

Sally

It takes a little time but you are going to love the changes :) when the breast pain started with me it was maybe 3 weeks after I took my first injection and it lasted close to 2 years an it was good pain :)

Congrats on starting HRT! It does take awhile, it even took awhile for me, and I was a quick responder to hormones. I remember in my first week that I felt a calmness, that I had not felt before. I did start breast growth not too long after that, or I should actually say re-started since I had some growth in first puberty (before the T took over). As usual YMMV. Changes will come, and they will be wondrous. Keep us informed of your progress. :)

hugs,

Stephanie

Congratulations on starting HRT!

I just started HRT in July so my first week is still fresh in my mind. Things I remember about my first week, the feelings of peace that came over me. My nipples started getting sensitive was very memorable. And I started to notice my skin getting softer. I was so impatient for things then. Now I am just enjoying the slow criuse.

So sit back, relax and enjoy!

Hug,

Allison

Each day will bring a slow motion walk towards your goal. You've made the first step and just getting started is sometimes the hardest. Change will come.

Hugs,

Thank you all. And yes I know mileage may vary. I'm 26 and wish I could have started sooner but when I first came out at 23 it wasn't the right time family wise. I'm hoping those three years didn't kill all hope of being passable :(

Sweety, if 43 years ain't stopping me from being passable, without a stitch of makeup, then I think your 26 years ain't gonna slow the E down one bit. When the E starts doing it's work, it does make some changes to your body. So turn that frown upside down. :) It's all good.

Give it time, I didn't think I had the slightest chance of passing and especially at the age of 52 but here I am at over 2 years on HRT and 4 months post op - to be honest I don't really think much about passing anymore. I AM a woman and take my place in society as a woman. It will come.

      I'm not sure that's quite true.  If it was done by private entities?  Like most landfills here are privately owned, as are power plants.  I can't see a reason they couldn't be combined.    Right now, garbage companies in my area harvest the methane produced by the landfill to run their trucks.  The put all sorts of pipes in among the layers of the landfill to collect it.  Compressed natural gas (CNG) can be used with only minor modifications to existing engines, and many truck stops are adding CNG pumps as some fleets transition to it.    A fuel's usefulness is often measured in BTU's per gallon.  CNG has approximately the same BTUs as diesel or gasoline (138,000 or so.)  Pure ethanol and E85 have much less - like 76,000 BTUs.

      Well, after a week on HRT, as many would probably have predicted, I've noticed exactly zero mental or physical changes. Patience appears to be the key here as hard as that will be after finally getting my transition moving. Guess I just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. Hope that my first blood tests after two months will show hormone levels moved acceptively.

      A therapist appt is a great place to dress femme, If you want to!   It also sounds like a great safe venue to speak softer and more feminine, if that’s where you want to go.     Not sure the rules now.  But if you’re seeking HRT you might have to show them something to convince the money system that your case is medically necessary.  Obvious feminine clothes and mannerisms displayed by a human assigned male at birth (perhaps this is you?)  could be check marks towards them pushing your case through.     Please be whatever brings you love for who you are.   I have pursued this all the way through obstacles, mistakes, humiliation, and pain. And I  am so so so grateful  Hugs 😊 🌈🌈

      Puzzled.  My United Healthcare Medical Advantage DOES cover gender affirming surgeries.  The HARD part is finding a surgeon that's in-network.  If the surgeon is out of network, the coverage is 40%/60% (they pay 60%).    Sadly, the surgeon I'd like to have, Dr Russell Sassani, in south Florida, is out-of-network and requires full payment prior to surgery.  I'm certain that there have been insurance issues for him and others, in the past.  Most GOOD surgeons for trans surgeries don't submit insurance, though they WILL help you with the codes, etc.  Actually, he does accept some regular insurance and original Medicare.     Anyway, I hope you were able to get your surgery or at least closer to being able to do so.

      Welcome Madelyn, glad you are here and best wishes on your journey!!   I started HRT about two months ago... Had my initial appointment in December... Other than a bra underneath my clothes, I likely didn't look feminine at all ... I was nervous as heck but the doc put me at ease...   Just be yourself... do what feels comfortable for you ... The pace is up to you... Remember, you are one of a kind and have inestimable worth...    EasyE

      I have been creating a space to be expressive. It's def not completed yet, I have loads of ideas still. Thinking about re-painting, maybe a light pastel purple or light pink, with a satin gloss. Honestly I'm hung on which would look best. Leave a comment if you think it would look better pink or purple. This area is a combination Man-Cave / She Shack. This is my sacred space, I think it's coming out well so far. I love this room, it inspires my creativity. Tho, I think there's not much man left in the cave lol.

      Then there is how FDR is revered, and the ridiculous reluctance of the left to ever say anything negative about Biden.  It destroys their credibility.  Obsessed with Trump, they ignore how much worse Biden is.

      The title of this thread is highly offensive.

      Oh…. Now I get what the transgender agenda is.  I missed it.   I just didn't realize he was running again.   Silly me.   I'm going to quit now.  I've already been an ass
