Week 12
Week 3 on Estrogen
I wasn't sure exactly how I'd react to being on E, you hear sometimes that some people react badly or even end up being allergic or incompatible with it however I can say now after x weeks that I feel great!
It's hard to describe exactly, but overall, I feel nice and calm, serene and content. No rampaging mood monster
I'm off the Lenzetto spray now and onto the Oestrogel, currently 1 pump first thing and 1 last thing, it is rather messier than the spray and takes a longer to dry (5 mins vs 30 secs) but you have something physical in your hand so you know the dosage is consistent.
I'm not missing having no 'morning wood' when I wake up and I'm DEFINATELY not missing the times when my prostate would enlarge slightly making it more difficult to pee than usual. I'm taking these side effects as proof that either the E or the anti-androgen stuff is doing its thing.
Life at home is the same as ever, my wardrobe and makeup box are still growing
Since I discovered gel nail varnish I've found out I can grow my nails to impressive talon lengths without them breaking either. Daughter #2 at some point in the near future is going to do a comprehensive 'this is how you do make-up' sessions with me because I really don't have a clue.
I'm still getting plenty of support at home, I still consider myself very blessed to have a wife that's been awesome in so many ways with this, far more than I could ever have hoped for.
I know my waist at least has gotten bigger as some of my non stretch 32 inch waist jeans just won't fasten now but I was expecting that.
