HRT Update - Month 4

Well it’s been 4 months since I started HRT. This month has seen a lot of changes.

My chest has started to grow and people have started to notice, some family members and close friends have told me that it is starting to be noticeable. Also I seem to be getting a lot of stares now when I am out and about of men, which can be creepy and affirming at the same time. While I personally cannot see the difference I can feel the difference and my chest has been having a lot of pins and needles, which I have been told is a good sign.

I am still losing my strength. I was taking apart a bed base as a friend gave me one earlier last weekend and I could tell that I was getting tired a lot quicker and when pulling the fabric off the old base, it took a lot more effort than it would have done before I started HRT.

The hairs on my body (I have really noticed it on my legs) are not growing as much, instead of having to shave every couple of days I only now have to shave once a week. My smell as also changed a lot.

Overall, I am very happy with how things are progressing. Do I still think it was worth all the hassle of getting on HRT, and the expense? Yes, I would say it’s probably saved my life.
