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 do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here? 
    • Ladypcnj
      Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.

      Sir is good, as well as mister! I don't mind Mx. but my brain's first thought is a mixer.

      giggles..sounds much more comfy   I'm on 5 minute break outside n wondering if i can open my blouse..oops..maybe not ..laughs

      I really don't think that's a good idea. The unity of the LGB and T community is historic and has been central for both groups rights. And the vast majority of people advocating for splitting the two are transphobic LGB's who are broadly condemned by the community anyway.

      Congratulations, and best wishes as you move forward.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      A bit late in updating, but I've had the draft of the official diagnosis and have (as yet unconfirmed) an endo consultation next month.   Next to arrive will be the supporting documentation for my new passport application for my correct gender.  This will then be my official ID for all the other updates - bank, tax, payroll etc.   It just feels good to to be proactive again rather than waiting for other people to move at a leisurely pace.

      I like ELF brand cosmetics, I can pick them up at JC Penny.    I wear makeup everyday, but mostly just very light makeup.
