Well BN universe I took my first shot of estrogen last night. And as I expected I didn't really feel anything or notice anything other than the normal act of sticking a foreign metal object into my body. Lol
I must say I definitely did not miss giving myself injections when I used to be on steroids. At least so far until my doctor changes it my injection protocol is once every 14 days which is a very low dose and I'm sure I'll have mood swings but I guess that's the territory in the name of the game. I remember having to pin myself two or three times a week on certain steroid cycles depending on what my goals were and what I was using at the time.
And I have been off using steroids since April so it's been a nice break of not having the anxiousness and anxiety of preparing a shot and then trying to inject myself in the appropriate places and areas and hoping I don't hit a muscle knot or cramp up trying to perform the actual act of injecting the hormone into myself.
So yeah I will have to pay attention to how I'm feeling over the next few days to see if my mood or attitude changes in a way that is outside of the norm. And I did not experience any dreams after taking my Estrogen either which I'm not sure if that's normal or not but when I was taking testosterone usually I would have a dream that I can remember the same night after I took the shot of testosterone so we will see how estrogen affects my dream cycles.
After some reflection I think I'm not going to completely abandon nbe supplements. I think I'm going to continue to use bovine ovary at a lower dose and continue to use rishi and MSM but only at the recommended doses on the bottles since I'm getting my t-blocker from Spyro.
Hopefully the continued use of nbe along with HRT won't make me gain an excessive amount of weight. I've always struggled with my weight and body image issues which is probably why I became a bodybuilder and got on steroids for as long as I was. So if I feel like I'm not able to control my weight while on nbe and HRT then I will probably drop the bovine ovary out of the program and see if my weight management becomes more under control or if it's just what it's going to be and how I'm going to be on estrogen.
Other than that I don't plan on buying any new clothes just yet since my body is just beginning to change I'm not quite out of men's pants but women's pants aren't quite feeling good either so I'm going to hold off for now on starting to add a new wardrobe to my closet. I'm only going to buy things as I feel I need them if I feel I need to try and hide breast development that I'm going to buy some sports bras or something to flatten my chest out until it gets to a point to where I can't hide the obvious even with sports bras and banding or I'll start buying women's pants once they start to fit better than men's pants. But I honestly feel women's pants will always not feel quite right until I have a woman's body down there and by that I mean having surgery to remove the excess baggage between my legs which is what women's clothing is designed for.
So yeah that's all I really have to say for an update. Also I apologize if there are any mistakes or grammatical errors or something that doesn't quite sound right when you read this I'm using talk to text to write this so there may be some things that don't quite read correctly due to my phone making certain assumptions of what words it's thinking I'm trying to say.
