look, i know that HRT is supposed to take a long ass time but i really wish these was some more immediate feedback that could tell me "yeah you did your injections right, it's working, just wait"
Just donβt forget that. The process takes forever. I wish it were just a button, but alas. Even at 21ish months into HRT, it still has a lot of work to do for me. However, the early months are exciting. Your emotions open up, your breasts may start growing, and you get that initial shot of euphoria from starting your path in the direction you laid out for yourself. Itβs insanely exciting and Iβm genuinely happy that youβre getting to experience it cause the last 21 months of my life I feel as though Iβm living for the first time. Iβm just glad that others can feel such an amazing feeling as well.
I deleted my last comment cause I wrote the original while in a not insignificant amount of pain. It felt tonally off so I rewrote it.
I can confirm that it keeps getting better. After a decade it hasn't stopped feeling good
i never felt like i had anything to look forward to in life, but now i do. in a sense, it feels worse knowing what i actually want out of life but that I don't have it yet instead of just accepting the despair
All of the male stuff is temporary though. Estrogen is forever now
You know what you want and you're moving toward it slowly
Even if you did em wrong no big, always next time. You also getto look forward to like, a decade of changes which are gonna be awesome.
Yeah you won't notice anything for at least a month ime. Dw the process is pretty exciting :)
At least not appearance-wise. Spiro+E very quickly affects libido/spontaneous erections. That might be mostly the spiro though, so it wouldn't help with being able to tell if you are doing the injections correctly?
yeah I've been on Spiro for like 2 days now and maybe it is just me imagining it but I can already feel my libido being dampened a bit. Might kick back in once the E sets in though? we'll see
Anecdotally it's gonna become weird and funny, it won't be anything like it was before, it's cool!
yeah like, i'm not going to be boy horny ever again, i'm going to be girl horny about things? what's that going to be like? idk, I'll find out in like 3-5 weeks
Yeah! Sometimes it's not super different but it's definitely better β¨
I think it was a clear effect by 2 days for me (I started with both sprio and E)? After the first week, I think morning wood no longer happened at all. Libido has mostly just been a source of annoyance for me, so it was an effect I looked forward to. I think some people say progesterone can cause increased libido for those who want it though? Or using monotherapy or cypro instead of spiro (but cypro isn't approved in the US).
