In 6 days I have my final gender transition counseling session where I will receive my therapist letter to the Endocrine Doctor green lighting me to begin my HRT treatments. My first Endocrine Dr. appointment is set for the 28th. I am so excited I don't know if I should jump for joy, dance or both.. oh heck both! :-) I have stopped all BO and Pituitary Glandular so I have a clean system. The only thing I still take is fenugreek and blessed thistle (gotta build those mammary glands!) and the Swiss Botany PM Serum to help give em a lift.

What was it like for you when you started on true HRT?  not herbals or PM/BO.



What can I expect taking estrogen and t blockers the first day.. first week...? What was it like for you? I'm hoping that with my current estrogen levels up where they are it will just take over. I am going or the patch to help minimize risk for blood clots and to have to take blood thinners. 



How soon before you noticed something was going on, body changing? 


What changed first for you?



How soon before "others" noticed any changes?


I'm super excited everyone! 

Luv,

I actually lost volume for the first few months, typically they start you off low, check your bloodwork, then start to raise your levels. 
Once things started to work it was like night and day. 

Good luck..

Thanks Jannet! so when you say volume, what specifically are you talking about? Body mass...etc? 
I know each person and body are different but can you please explain what you mean by night and day? I would love to hear your experiences?

Breast volume.. 
Night and day on the feelings whilst your breasts ate growing, not just tender, but actual pain and stretch marks ...
