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.

      It's been touched on in another thread, the perception that the folks who scream loudest in favor of free speech are also the loudest in wanting to stifle the freedom of people not like themselves.

      I wonder if the LGBTQI+ umbrella should be split? Create separate entities for LGB and TQI+ folk?    I have no doubt that some cis het people probably think that sexuality and gender identity are the same thing, for whatever the reason, not necessarily willful ignorance. It would be natural for such people to observe that both LGB and T folk are under the same umbrella, so they must be the same, right?   Just as (and I know I'm making some pretty big assumptions in this post) some cis gay folk would think that the LBGTQI+ umbrella is pie - give trans people a slice, and somehow, they will miss out. Just like cis het folk might also think that their lives are somehow being diminished by allowing trans people to have basic human rights.

      Some anxiety is building up inside.

      Suppressing your emotions because you’re afraid of them can be bad for your physical and mental health. Here’s what to do instead. When a toddler feels a “big” emotion, like anger or sadness, they tend to have a big tantrum on the floor. And these tantrums can be a lot to observe, full of thrashing, screaming, and tears. But a child reacts like this because the emotion they’re feeling is uncomfortable, maybe even painful.   Of course, as adults, we feel emotions too, and those feelings can be just as overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even painful as they were when we were children, even if we don’t let ourselves react in such a big way. But, sometimes, in our attempts to not give in to our emotions, we go too far: we run from them or suppress them — even if that harms us in the long run. Although there are many reasons we might suppress our emotions, one of them is that we are afraid of our emotions. Fear of emotions is called “animotophobia. It is not an official term in the DSM-5-TR. Still, fearing your emotions can have a significant impact on your well-being.

      Been a while.... Do you sing or play an instrument?   I sing, write songs, play guitar, bass, harp. It is my sanctuary.

      @KaitSo glad you are here. It's never too late to talk to your doctor. bI was 68 before I stopped lying to myself and talked to my doctor. He or she might be able to help. It may be easier to find an endocrinologist you specializes or a health care group who specializes. You might also seek out a therapist who specializes to help with HRT resources. Psychology Today can help find therapists who specialize. Glad you are here. WELCOME.

      Good morning, everyone!   Coffee is flowing so my brain is beginning to function.    We've been busy caring for aging family members and trying to get the house open now that the weather is getting warmer. I've been working on getting the pool open and cleaned. It's almost ready for salt and starting up the heater. We may be swimming by next week.   But, it's raining here today so I guess I'll be stuck working inside.   Have a wonderful and safe, day!!

      I had that same outcome from my first colonoscopy years ago. It just triggered more frequent colonoscopies for a period of time. Hopefully, that will be the same plan for you.

      Biopsies came back mostly clear except one, one polyp came back with abnormal cell growth (pre-cancerous). It was completely removed during the colonoscopy so I don't know yet if further action needs to be taken.
