Ok so I'm about 2 weeks since starting hormones and i have noticed my skin seems kinda different already.. it seems to have become more translucent or something ? Like i can clearly see veins on my arms and stuff now. I'm not sure if this is related bu i also keep getting hurt way more easily, like i am used to smashing into things and being clumsy and not having to worry about hurting my self, but now everything fucking hurts me! like i even somehow managed to scratch my hand on the microwave door lol.
Is this normal? or am i just imagine this up like a placebo effect?

hrt does affect skin, it's not as thick anymore for example

I think it's probably a little bit of both. Your skin is more thin and sensitive. You will bruise more easily, etc.
But there is largely a mental effect involved too I think. To call it placebo is reductive, I feel, but it's basically the notion that you are less "numbed" to the pain because you're probably dissociating less from reality.

If you're used to smashing into things and not hurting yourself, just wait until you get breast buds. Although I find it's easier to not hurt yourself over time because your body gets used to how to move properly

...am I going to ruin them if I like the weird pain when I squeeze and push on them?

How long till breast buds? I'm only three days in myself, and the only thing I've really noticed is less anxiety and I seem a bit more wakeful, which is odd as I've heard spiro does the opposite

no, you'll be fine. Everyone squeezes on them at times, and a lot of people like the way it feels.

>just wait until you get breast buds
oh shit....

It varies wildly. Some people get them after the first 2 weeks (like me), others don't get them until they are almost a year in (one of my friends had actually nothing until she was more than 10 months in, and it was just buds until like around a year and a half in) . Just like puberty, its different for everyone.

I heard a lot of guys who had very obvious veins in their arms pre-HRT had them vanish under HRT.
I heard it was to do with how hormones change your vascularity or something because of the distribution of body fat.
Anyone heard of this or have experiences?

Women have more fat in their subcutaneous layer. So when you start E thatll happen if you gain weight/have fat distribution.

Had that happen too, even litte bumps take forever to heal. A real pain if you're athletic.
Are you a femguy? You could try adding more estrogen to your regimen or use progesterone, but you'd probably find the side effects inconvenient
