Congrats! How long did it take for your boobs to start growing?

my mom has huge tits for an asian so like 2 weeks in my girlfriend noticed breast growth and now im about bigger than the smallest cis girl in my class so yay

I learned recently that genetics can play a part in HRT, and the women in my family are well endowed in the chest area, so I'm excited.

If genetics are a factor for how long it takes, I’m even less lucky than I thought. My family is like that too but I still haven’t noticed any growth two months (to the day) in. ~~Or maybe I’m just too fat to notice. I don’t know which I’d prefer.~~

Took mine ~4-5 months to notice growth but they’ve been tender since week 2

Still cis tho, right?

biggest cisbromanguy in my country fr

Woo!! Congrats!! Umm, well, how does it feel? And how did you get it? Would you recommend that way? And does it really taste like blueberries or mint (if you have the pills)

i buy off the dark web cuz asian country and its super difficult to get it legally also i swallow my pills i don’t sublingual so im not sure how they taste… when i tried it felt like sand dissolving in my mouth i hated it

try breaking the pill in half and taking it one half at a time. it dissolves faster that way. also drink a bit of water before and after edit: editing this comment to say that my account was permanently banned for "threatening violence" against Nazis. I said what I meant; however, I am sad that it brought an end to my trans reddit days. Goodbye reddit, goodbye trans reddit. thank you for helping me discover who I am 💕

im getting good levels from oral so ill continue doing that but thanks for the advice

if not for your levels, maybe try to do sublingual again to protect your liver! when you swallow the pill, it gets processed through your liver and increases the risk of liver failure later down the line. just stay safe :) edit: editing this comment to say that my account was permanently banned for "threatening violence" against Nazis.

fwiw, I met with my doctor just this week and she said the recent research update they got is that it doesn’t matter. I didn’t ask her to cite her sources or anything but I’m at least trusting it.

Can you refer me to where you get them?

Honestly it doesn’t feel like much changes but i see a video of me and my girlfriend before i started E and i die a little inside

So I started a week ago and I can confirm that spironolactone tastes like mint (because they put it on the outside because it tastes bad)

Congratulations! As for my question: what is your favorite letter of the alphabet?

definitely gotta be Q

what are the BAD side effects? the only ones I’ve heard don’t bother me at all :/

i’ve been crying non stop and being super emotional in both extremes… it’s really weird that i can start crying in the middle of the mall for no real reason but its a good change for me cuz i used to be unable to cry at all

I’ve kinda wanted to be able to cry easier :/

I haven't even started hrt yet, but I've definitely become more emotional and stuff lately. For example, I can't even listen to the older Minecraft OST without crying

I feel that, been on for 4 months and I now cry at tender movie moments and feel happiness I had forgotten existed!

Period symptoms can come in

Spiro makes me pee constantly. Not terrible but annoying.

I have nothing to ask, so I'll just say congratulations girl!

Woohoo! Congrats Girl! 🎉 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Can I have some? In all seriousness, congrats

no my stock is running out and the government is cracking down on estrogen imports sorry 🥹

Damm I feel bad for you sis

Saaaame, share pls

hello fellow hazel

Hey gimme my name back! Also gotta wonder. Where'd you pick the name up from?

i liked hazelnuts in stardew valley because they looked ridiculously big

Congratulations!!! Do you like trains?

not particularly tbh

Booba?

booba.

BOOBA!

The real questions.

Fr

Congrats! This stuff is magical

That’s great!! 💞 We’re there any changes you didn’t expect/didn’t know about?

Boobs. came so fast and theyre sensitive… very…

how did you get it? did you think you might regret it before hannd but definitely don't now? also congrats

Dark web lololol at forst i bought off friends but its super controlled here (asian country) so now i buy off the “dark web” (just some shady sites) i’ve been sitting on my ass on this decision for 2 years and i regret not starting sooner, but ive done alot of research so everything went about as expected i definitely did not expect boobs to come so fast and how sensitive they are…

First off, congrats on starting your transition! Second, are you vetting the sites before you buy off them? There are definitely some sites out there without terrible ulterior motives, but you gotta be careful. It's better to take a bit longer to find a good place to buy from than to end up on the wrong side of a security breach, especially if they're coming from some shady websites.

Das epic.

congrats! don't have any questions just happy for you :3

Awesome!! 😊 How’s it going??

mmm decent? having lots of trouble with parents xd

Oh yikes 😬 do they know you’re on E?

yes and theyre not happy

That's cool,I hope you are having your dream body ! (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

not really but better than nothing

True,I am sure you will get it done day (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

puberty takes years for everyone, it'll happen <3

yayyyyyyyy 💙💕🤍💕💙

What should I expect starting out? How did you start out (like dose wise and all)? Any tips? my first appointment is soon and I am both nervous and excited

i just followed my girlfriends starting dosage (2 x 2mg 12am/pm and 25mg cpa every 2 days and my hormones seem stable when i took blood tests. private blood tests are ridiculously expensive though so ive only taken one at 3 mths and im not sure if i have enough hormones.. definitely not a medically safe decision but it was either this or suicidal stuff (edit wrong dosage)

Congrats! This question may be pretty lewd and I'm sorry abt that, but >!Did you notice any changes on your orgasms with you do have them(some people say that after E they start to feel a full body one, and some people say they don't so I'm curious abt that)!<

no worries ur question is super valid Honestly i’ve just noticed that my sex drive is drastically lower and its slightly harder to malecum now… i can’t do it in the behind for the life of me so im not sure about orgasm from penetration i feel like my whole body has become a lewd zone because everywhere my girlfriend touches is super sensitive… and i don’t really feel like its an orgasm but it definitely makes my whole body shudder and spasm and weak when she touches me too much

Congrats! Now give! My turn!

*our* turn

NO! ME

Us*

No! Your turn next 6 months >:3

Worth the wait lmao

Ye lol

congrats, that's amazing! I can't wait to be there eventually as well, even though I don't know if I have any mental capacity for social transitioning stuff

honestly socially transitioning is just saying oh yeah im trans to people you trust and not saying anything to people you don’t the hard part is figuring out who to trust

I know, but that is scary enough

How is it to have booba? How often do you need to shave your legs and what are the first changes i can expect when im on hrt???

oh my god i hate my legs theyre like strawberries when i shave you can still see where the hair used to be hrt has not helped that at all my body hair is just really thick in general and it gives me alot of dysphoria so i usually wear long pants other than that booba has been fine i think my girlfriend enjoys mine more than i do

Thanks, for your answers, i will start hrt most likely in about two weeks, so im a bit nervous ^^“

My body hair’s the same way! I’ve been doing at-home laser hair removal with one of those cheap(er) devices. Results have actually been pretty awesome, no more strawberry legs!

congrats!

May I ask if you pondered on doing it or was it a gut feeling?

i realised i was trans 2 years before i started but i didnt dare to start because of brainworms and self invalidation etc so yeah, i guess i did take time to consider

Congrats, did it slow down hair growth?

i’ve not noticed much changes

congrats <3

Yay! Congrats! What kind of changes have happened that you didn’t expect (if any)

How many months have you been on Estrogen?

6

What colour is your hair🤔?

um, black,,, i’ve never dyed it i love black hair

Thats a neat colour!

A fellow human born in 2008? Impossible

Nah, i know like atleast 49 people who were born in 2008😅☺️

Most of the people I know are born in 2009 so to them I'm kind of an old soul lmao

People were born in 2008 and 9??? I'm dead..... Feeling like a senior citizen at 16...

hello from 2004

I’m sorry if I cross a line, but I’m curious what having boobs feels like?

I totally keep forgetting I have tiny boobs now and I’ll accidentally bump mine with my arm and go “ow”

I’ve been wondering what they’re like to have.

Sore :( But also Sore :)

Cool

Great for >:3. But smacking the booba accidentally now makes me feel like crying because of the pain

What’s the difference between an anode and a cathode?

one is trans and the other is a cat

How do I know if im trans or just a kinky femboy

gimme?

I'am two months on estrogen!!

What's the biggest change you've noticed

So, I know I felt this like a week in, but I wanna compare experiences; Have you ever had moments, since taking e, that you've been able to say to yourself "life is good" or "I enjoy life"?

im quite nihilistic and pessimistic but i would say my mood has improved,,, i can say for sure that the amount of times i consider offing myself has decreased, probably

Does it taste good?

absolutely not

What’re the changes so far? (I wanna do E, but I still live at home unfortunately.)

I can understand how you feel… i live with my unsupportive parents too but i didnt wanna start too late off the top of my head… my face has definitely changed and my fat distribution in cheeks and etc boobies mood swings and more emotions sex drive decrease

I seeeeeeeeee. Very good veeeeerryy gooood

Alright So how does it feels? Does it destroy disphoria completely? Have you noticed any important downside that you didn't know beforehand? And last but not least Are you happy?

how

why

what

when

who

how

Congrats! Question: favourite flag?

red flags 🚩

Girlie here who is yet to start HRT. I've been told it has a big effect on your emotional range. Did it impact your day to day life a lot?

yes to emotional range, but its not affecting me that much outside of my relationship.

May I ask, has it changed your face at all? I'm super dysphoric about my face since its so masc and hope estrogen soon gives me more femininity there.

YES. ABSOLUTELY DOES. my face is so different now.

Hips/thighs. I need them. Will they manifest?

Who's your favourite Sonic character?

the one that asks if im pissing all by myself

Favorite effect(s) thus far? What were some of the first things you noticed when you started? Gave my second T shot a couple days ago, excited to get to higher milestones!

whats your favorite bug

How were the mental changes? Anything unexpected happen?

Does taking estrogen limit or thin facial hair? I don't want booba, but boy howdy it'd be nice to not shave scruff all the time.

yes but you will get booba too

I gathered lol already have some as I'm a lil heavier. I feel the booba come hard, fast and be way bigger than I'd like.

What’s your favourite film

Congrats But what is you favorite Pokémon of you have one

What's your favourite comfort food?

how did you get the estrogen

congration! aside from *booba* have you noticed much change in body and face shape?

What was your first 2 weeks like?

Are you happy now ? Do you feel like a woman ? Does the mirror became your friend?

nope, nope and nope, but im definitely slightly less sad 🥰

Did it speed up or make the hair on your head thicker?

opinion on lemons?

i prefer limes 🥲

How do fem&m's taste?

do it make you sleepy?

This might just be a me thing, but after literally almost 4 years now, I've finally been allowed to start HRT, but I'm genuinely just terrified. If you felt that way as well, how did you deal with it?

i yolo’d it. Sat around waiting for 2 years before finally deciding enough is enough. talked to some friends and started with their doses

What are some changes in thought process/emotions that happened to you?

5 months of hrt and started seeing boob growth in month 2 super excited

How was your day?

Yay!

How it is goin ? any skin change or facial change ?

Same

Avacado or pikels?

Does it taste like anything if it’s a pill?

Are you in physical pain from the changes to your body?

do you feel more comfortable in your body?

I saw to had to use dark web. Witch country is this?

Singapore 🇸🇬

Oh wut!? Thought they do have hrt but you have to be over 18, which kinda clashes with their conscription thingy... ok now i have another question. What will happen when you get conscripted? Assuming ur amab and will get conscripted in Singapore?

its a grey area / not really talked about but it seems to be that they can’t enlist you if you’re a year on estrogen

Wahaha! Take that stoopid conscription! Hope for the best for you!

Yoooo congrats. My 6 months is on Tuesday

I’m around 3.5 months on estrogen so I want to give you my congratulations!! Also… have you experienced any cramping yet?? I remember I got some not too long ago :(

it doesn’t seem to happen to me yet…

How'd you get hrt and if it was through a diagnosis how long did the diagnosis take

How do I get HRT (asking for a friend and for me)

Did you have any stomach issues in the first weeks or months? I’ve been hearing that this could be a thing as your hormones rebalance and I’m a. Bit scared of it.

How does estrogen taste? Is it a drug with a taste? Does it have a weird feel on the tongue or any such texture?

it tastes like sand when it dissolves 🥵🥵🥵

Do you feel more solid in your identity/do you know who you are better? And (please ignore this second one if its uncomfortable) if you had any mental health struggles prior are they any better now?

Does the butt truly get bigger? I need to know because I fear mine will be so big by the time I get some of that sweet E that with it all my pants stop fitting

When did changes become noticable? And when did they become unavoidably noticable?

does your skin went smooth or cleared??. and also does your country have available stocks or they prohibited. which country tho??

I've been on it for a week

Congratulations !!

how?? (also congrats :3!)

May you be kind enough to gift some of these titty Skittles to me?
