HRT Update - Month 3

So, last week as the week I have been on HRT for 3 months. As I stated before here is my monthly update.

I have had my 3 month blood tests done (Did then 2 months in so give time to get my next 3 months of HRT sorted before I ran out). My testosterone level dropped by half (yippee) and my Estrogen level went up by a quarter. I was expecting my Estrogen level to go up by that much but not my testosterone level to drop by half in 2 months, so really happy with the results.

As a result of the blood tests, GenderGP recommended my Estrogen tablets get doubled to 2mg per day and my testosterone blockers to remain at the level they are, 5mg per day. This is what I am now on.

1. As for do I feel any different. Mentally I feel a lot more comfortable in myself as I know things are on the way. Physically there have been some changes:-Skin. My skin feels a bit softer, not by much but I can tell it is getting softer and more sensitive.
2. Smell. I think my smell is starting to change, and I don’t sweat as much as I used to.
3. Loosing Weight. I don’t know if this is because I have cut out snacks or due to muscle loss, but I have lost 2Kg in weight in 3 months. I am weaker than I used to be though.

Over the next 2-3 years is when I should see the major changes that HRT brings. The first 3-6 months is always a waiting game though of course this is different for everyone.
