So I'm at 3 weeks on hormones ( well this past Saturday I was). I'm not going to say I feel like much is happening. I will say that I am more sure about myself then ever and can't wait to see who I always thought I should. I will say I notice my leg hair growing back maybe a touch slower and my skin maybe a hair softer. I'm looking forward to the changes to come and am looking forward to just being me truely me!!

The first year of HRT is the most exciting part of transition. Looking forward to hearing more about your progress.

I also heard that sometimes changes are rather gradual, but it's a life changing process! Soon you will really start to see the difference! When you observe yourself on a daily basis, the changes are less noticeable. Enjoy your transition, and all the best!

Take care,

Mila

Thank you all!! I will say I wake up everyday hoping to feel chest soreness or have a hair more of a butt lol. No such luck yet. All good things are worth the wait. I will be getting my blood drawn again mid December to check my levels and will be getting a dosage increase in early January so hopefully with that I'll see more of a effect. Thank you all

I remember my first month so well. It really wasn't that long ago since I am a touch over 4 months now. Seems like during the first month you look for changes every day. It is truly a magical feeling! Sit back smile and enjoy, every day it gets better!

Hugs

The outward physical changes of HRT do take their time. (but they're so much fun to look for :-). For me the psychological changes were much more rapid. My depression and dysphoria lifted very quickly. Enjoy the ride!

Hi Nicole,

I remember how exciting it was in the early days of HRT, and how anxious I was to change. Physical changes do take time, but they do happen. I have changed a lot.

I have been on HRT for one year, and four months so far. I have been living as myself, ie. full time real life test, for about a year now as well. I gotta say the mental changes are at least as great as anything physical. Just a heads up, so you are aware, when I remember stuff from my past life it seems very much like a different person was the protagonist. I am much happier, and normal feeling now though.

I am very happy with my transition, and I hope your's goes as well as mine. :)

hugs,

Stephanie

I hate to be that girl, but don't judge your transition by how you look to yourself. I know it's only your happiness that matters, but we are our worst critics. I'm told that others would not have known I was trans had I not told them, and I hardly ever see it. The changes are so gradual that you hardly see them. As said a lot here, YMMV. Now is about the time for you to make sure the voice is 200% perfect, start some laser hair removal if applicable, and just explore your feelings. I'm so dang proud of you <3

The changes are really slow to be honest. The way you'll realise the changes are happening are:-

Clothes fitting better.

Skin feeling softer.

Breast soreness.

Bras fitting better.

Start to 'pass' more.

Parts of your body wobble more.

Reduction of body hair.

Reduction in libido.

I'm nearly 30 months into HRT (5 months post op) and I'm still experiencing changes. Remember though - YMMV.

      I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times.   Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘   *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

      @Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO.  This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings.   Carolyn Marie

      Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

      Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

      She was a beautiful young woman ...   "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.”  Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

      April,   I'm glad my entries are interesting to you.  TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people.  I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference.  I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience.     Hugs,   Sally

      Dear @Sally Stone.  I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?).  You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish.   I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey.  I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63.   As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories.  Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it.  Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

      Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am noting you use CRT terminology.  The comment is not out of the blue.  Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism.  So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not.  Are you?

      Congrats to your family on the new addition!

      Funny you think that I would be able to get through more than two sentences with how bad my stutter gets (joking, of course)   My topic would probably be mythology, random Japan factoids in my mind, or a favorite story   (Best option would be a fave story of mine including a lot of factoids on Japanese myths-)
