4 months on HRT


Guest Nostros

Recommended Posts

Hi!^^

Soo yeah here's an update on how I look now after 4 months of HRT. (wearing no makeup)

Well the changes mainly from anti-androgens were great for my face cuz my beard turned into super-light shade so I can shave less often and not get the 5'o clock shadow plus I have no pimples now and skin is super soft. Well and I have hips now and nice waist (but i think I had that even before hrt so maybe it doesn't count) oh and if you can see I have some small brests now ^_^ So yeah I'm feeling happy what just 4 months brought, can't wait to see how it's gonna affect me 8 months later!

Well I never really bother "trying to pass" I just go about beeing myself, not even trying to make my voice sound feminine or anything, so I get mixed reactions, usually they just don't know what am I xD and I don't care.. I still don't feel confortable presenting myself as "true self", I need to gain some confidence.

You are looking great in those two photos, Nostros. And confidence will usually come with time. Everyone is different and no one set "path" is the "right" one...but the "right" one for you. You are transitioning early so you may find your HRT will have more effect. But as I have see so many times in here, "your mileage may vary." I think the longer your hair gets (if that is your goal) you may find yourself *having* to work on your voice because people *are* going to take you for the woman you are (some of my transitioning forced me to advance to next levels when I started getting Ma'am/lady/girl/she/her everywhere I went - so just be prepared for a rollercoaster ride but it is a fantastic one!).

Thanks all!(: The positive comments really do help to boost up the confidence that someday I would go "full-out" as myself: )

One question, how did you get your ribs and shoulders to look so femine, because they will probably be the biggest trouble spots for me.

hmmm... I still wish my ribs and shoulders would be narrower! But I think it's a trick atcually cuz when your hips and butt widens from HRT and fat-redistribution so makes the shoulders actually look narrower in contrast! =)

For some reason only your first pic is showing up but I have to say, if that is only 4 months and with no makeup. WOW.

I am 3 months in myself and have noticed some pretty dramatic changes but you could be a poster child for the feminizing effects of HRT. I can see your facial structure starting to change with more pronounced cheekbones and a VERY feminine set of lips. You sell it well.

Here's to a continued successful journey, you are doing just fine.

      I'm at 11 months and definitely feel much better! I did go through rollercoaster of emotions. I'm looking forward to year 2 and hopefully fill out more. congratulations on making it this far and you are correct that you are in the early stages.

      Awesome news about your wife @Willow!!!   And, I hope everything goes well at work. There is certainly generational difference in how we look at employment requirements and what we expect/demand.
    • Birdie
      That's awesome news!

      Good morning    I got to sleep in today, and I have a short day. Noon to 4:30.  I get to ease back into my work week. Looks like we have an abundance of senior staff today.  The top three have a 2 hour cross over together, Mgr, Asst and me.  I wonder what’s up.  I also see the asst isn’t getting her usual schedule at anytime this week, in fact, I have her schedule Thursday and Friday and she has mine.  I’m sure something is going on.     I do know that the Mgr would not mind if the Asst quit but she has no grounds to terminate her.  And then there is Richard.  He has the most years at the store, but he is very inflexible when it comes to his schedule he wants 32 hours no more and no less, 6:30 to 2 when he works nothing else and every Wednesday off.  So right now he’s getting 16 hours a week because that’s what works for our schedule.  No one is getting all the hours they would like, I’d love 9 to 5 MTWTF.  But that will never happen and I knew that when I started.  At least I don’t have to work 5pm to 0030 close.  I hate that shift.   I decided that I would not pursue the Jeep.  Yes I’d like to have one again but not right now.  Maybe someday.  Right now I have too much on my plate.  And maybe more coming at me.   Sorry for boring you with my work things today but that’s about all I’ve got.   Except, wife update! We went to Costco yesterday and she walked with the aid of her roller walker but she walked Costco!  Back is looking really good.  The deep wound is really coming back together  nicely.  Today she said she maybe over did it yesterday but that’s exercise for you the following day you are always a bit achy or tired but that’s a good thing!   Thanks for listening (reading)   hugs   Willow

      Thanks for explaining this, @VickySGVI would hate for this issue to be over. As long as there are trans folks alive it's never going to be over. We are, therefore we are.

      Good morning everyone,    @Birdie I love that shirt, it looks great on you.    I’m sitting on the back deck swing enjoying the birds and waiting for the dew to lift off the grass, so I can mow the lawn. We’re expecting four days of rain. The morning coffee is almost gone, so it won’t be long before the yard work begins.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'm glad you've found an avenue of care and that is less glacial than the NHS! Let the countdown begin!

      I didn't know they required judges to be medical doctors as well!

      I don't understand how if it's wrong to block care for 2 people, it's still okay to block it for everyone else.   But of course I'm not a lawyer/s   "He said minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria "deserve love, support, and medical care rooted in biological reality.""    The thing is, they don't believe we actually exist.

      Good morning,   Put on my favourite new Rock band Tee from Torrid and some shorts.  I am just about ready to go spend my day at the stuffy day-centre after I get done soaking my feet.

      4 months doesn’t seem such a long time now compared to the times I was previously looking at! 🙂   Many thanks to @Karen Careyfor pointing me towards GenderCare, they have been nothing but helpful and professional, and I wouldn’t be where I am now without them.
