Muscles and HRT

[Carla1965]

Hej! I'm worried. I was training in the gym at the last three years to prepare the body for changes. And I got muscles. Not a big muscles, but naturally like girl muscles. I'm very pleased with that, but now I begin HRT and don't want to loose much muscles. Can I keep muscles somehow and get hips and breasts?

First off, you're not getting hips. Those growth plates closed before you were 25. Sorry. I have a waist that makes it look like I kind of have hips, but I'm never going to be curvy.

Secondly, breasts are a crapshoot. You get whatever the breast fairy bestows as accordance to your genetics and a random spin of the Wheel of Fate. Maybe you get lucky. Maybe you don't. I have either a large A or a small B going on after about three years on HRT.

To be honest, I've seen what happens to larger breasts when you get older and it makes me appreciate mine more.

You can absolutely keep your muscles though. You're going to work harder to keep them, but it's absolutely a thing you can do. It's harder to build and keep muscle tissue on E than it is when your body is running on T. You can absolutely do it, it just takes a little dedication. I'm fairly well muscled I think. My gym regimen is two to three hours a day. Mostly weights. My mom does the same routine (she's cis and she's been at it longer) and she looks like a freaking anatomy model. She's also my inspiration. I want that for me so I keep at it.

If you keep at it, you can keep your muscles too.

Thank you for your answer, now I'm little bit calmer.

I don't mind small breasts, both my mother and sister has a small breasts.

It's going to be interesting, what going to happen. I have a quite broad hips to be a guy. I was ashamed about it and tried to hide, when I was teenager. I never got the V-shape that other boys got.

 

Thank you!

Hugs!

That's pretty brilliant. I look like a sexy stick. 😁 Sounds like you're going to look great!
