Première mois de HRT

This is a collection of experiences of my first month on hormones.

First week of HRT
Saturday October 20th I started with my hormone therapy (HRT). I though it was a nice idea to keep my friends posted on the developemnts.

Well on this first week I can be really short, I noticed nothing, nothing physically nothing mentally. This isn’t bad or anything, these things don’t go that fast. I don’t know if it is usefull to keep you posted on a weekly basis, but that’s just easy for me…. to keep to a certain blogging plan

2nd week
So here’s the update on my second week of HRT.
I do think one of the medicins seems to show effect, this is the androcur which i take to block my testosteron from doing to my body what it has been doing since my puberty. I could go into detail about the precise effects, but I won’t, a little bit too private to be honest, so whomever is really eager to know can ask me personally.
Beside this pleasant effect, I think I’m also noticing the first side effects, which are sudden moments of dozyness, especially on moments which i’m not used to or expecting dozyness. But it could also be on account of my worsened sleeping rythm of last week, so I’m not sure.

Troisième semaine de HRT
I am now 3 weeks on hormones, and maybe to your disappointment I have no huge new experiences to share with you. People around me say they see something, like a softer facial skin, which I doubt though. My skin has gotten more dry, and the softness that day, for which I got that kind comment, was probably due to putting on day creme that morning. On the other hand it could be true, my cheeks do feel soft, but do they feel softer??? I can’t really say.
On a more mental note, I have experienced my first (short) moodswing, I was watching some video on the internet, and without any reason coming from that video I suddenly felt sad and on the brink of crying. I’ve been on the brink of crying several times this past year, but not like this without anything specific giving cause to it. So I think I can positively ascribe this to the hormones, although it isn’t something really positive … o.O

Een maand hormonen
I’ve been exactly one month on hormones now, and you’ve read what happened in the first three weeks. Compared to week 3 this last week of this first month didn’t bring any astounding new experiences. My skin is still somewhat softer, and more dry, so i really need to go buy some daycreme. I did have some stress last week because of a decision I had to make concerning the topic for my final thesis. There’s one thing though regarding my transition which one could consider as a real NEWSFLASH. I started feeling pinches underneath my nipples, which could point to the first signs of breast development. I am not 100% sure like with many things these past weeks, but I have to say that I haven’t felt pinches like that before. I’ve been told that it’ll become quite painful on a given time, but thus far it’s just pinches.
So all in all there have been some interesting developments past month, these next months will probably get even more interesting. I won’t be posting weekly updates anymore though, I’m taking it down to twice a month. This means that next update will be in 15 days.
