I’m about to take some myself in the next couple of weeks and would like to know the changes you’ve experienced upon taking them, what type you take, how long for, when you noticed a difference and what… etc
I have seen people’s posts but want to hear first hand if possible to really get an idea.
Thank you!
I’m 4 months in, using 0.1mg/day Dotti patches (twice weekly) and 50mg 2x a day Spiro pills
i have noticeable breast growth already (holy fuck they hurt lol)
my skin is softer and way more sensitive and I’m ticklish again (that was surprising, never heard anyone comment it before)
body hair takes longer to grow and is a bit lighter in color, face hair is still dark and scratchy though
hair feels more healthy and a small amount of lost hair has some fuzzies again
beginnings of fat redistribution are popping up, hard to tell because I’m so skinny though. face is a bit more fem now
muscles are definatey starting to atrophy. i need to get some weights lol
hard to know how related it is but my sexuality is flopping around like a fish, mostly sapphic still but leaning more pan
mentally I feel much more comfortable in my body, hard to explain. it just feels right
I can cry again
all in all this stuff is legit a magical girl potion for me, its wild
the hair thing has been my experience too. I shave from the neck down with an electric razor but it’s been growing in lighter. On the other hand I still have a near-permanent 5 o’clock shadow.
Not the end of the world for me, I’m still in the closet and a beard masks the trans-ness very well, but laser hair removal is probably on the to-do list
Same!! If the hrt won’t get rid of that face hair imma burn it off with the force of a thousand suns. especially considering I can’t shave against the grain without breaking out really bad :(
good luck girl I wish you well!
