Unexpected HRT effects

>>7760469
since i started progesterone after 2.5 years of normal HRT my appetite shot thru the roof

im always hungry now no matter how much i eat

which is a good thing i guess because i lift a lot and im trying to bulk

>>7760472
Are you a female bodybuilder? that's pretty cool

>>7760469

Those aren't "unexpected" effects, dumbo, those are pretty much expected ones.

If you grew a vagina now THAT would be an unexpected HRT effect.

>>7760530
ha, fair. i guess i was talking about effects that are rarely talked about by doctors, therapists, and other trans people.

>>7760535
Why the fuck are you sniffing your crotch and butthole?

Definitely AGP.

>>7760562
>[current year]
>not sniffing your butthole

>>7760469
How do you know what your girlfriend's dad's butthole smells like

>>7760482
lol no i wish i was that ripped

i just enjoy lifting and being muscular

>>7760562
it's a tradition in my culture to smell your poop before showering for diseases.

>>7760469
I got those too, except I dunno about the butt part. I've sniffed no ass and my ass remains unsiffed.

Anybody else's voice change though? It wasn't dramatic but it is noticeable. Could be psychological.

>>7760472
>>7760472
is prog worth doing? im coming up on 2 years hrt

My ass still smells like ass

>>7760755
>be on toilet
>have worst diarrhea
>bowl full
>be op
>“ gonma smell my butt now“
Wtg am i reading

>>7760469
my shit smells of wonton soup now

>>7760469
body scent change was definitely one I wasn't aware of before I started and took me by surprise by how quickly it occurred (<1 month on estrogen)

the way it changes how your eyes look is weird too

and how it makes your skin paler

>>7760469
>Don't enjoy porn designed for men anymore, prefer erotic lit or just looking at pictures of women and imagining my own fantasies
I'm AGP and those are my tastes without HRT. Guess I'm trutrans after all and your brain is masculinized.

general GI tract isnt functioning as well

i got eczema too, but it might just be post-scabies eczema

>>7762247
I still havent figured out what exactly made my eyes look different on hrt
they just look a bit bigger and cuter
maybe the skin tightens around them or something?

It is, I started 3 years into HRT, and I've been on it about two months now. But my boobs have noticeably grown and rounded since starting.

Only cons are your appetite grows through the roof and you get way more horny. It's basically testosterone that makes your boobs nice, it's weird.

Did you get prog through official routes, or online? Curious where you buy from if its self medding

>>7762326
Official routes. I asked my doctor and she gave it to me without any conflict. She has me cycling it though, which is pretty annoying tbqh.

>>7762309
sounds perfect! thanks for the subjective analysis of its value. Do you think it's worth waiting a little longer to start?? I'll 2.5 years in like Sep.

I'd like my appetite to grow. And I like having libido.

>>7762365
It's probably better to start sooner, as with all HRT things. I started progesterone at 20, and I'm at a tanner 4, but I'm really afraid I started it a bit too late to reach tanner 5.

The libido thing is nice, I'm just very not used to it. The appetite thing is really hard though, being super hungry almost half the month makes dieting an actual struggle.

>>7762255
AGP doesn't exist stop with that pasudo science self sabotage.

>>7762320
>take prednisone

Found your mistake.
Steroids are dangerous drugs to mess with.

>>7762396
So I was trutrans all along since my brain is feminized?

>>7762388
hmmm I started at 22. 24 now. I'll get some next I can. Thanks

>>7760955
Sorta, I don't bother with my bullshit masc voice anymore unless I'm talking to men in a context where I need to be taken seriously. I just talk naturally for the most part, sometimes pseudo-fem voice if I'm talking to my boyfriend/people I'm out to.

I gained the ability to breathe underwater. But I always was transaquaman so perhaps that's why.

I don't want to have to order next batch of estradiol as soon as next month and I just started hormones.

So can I just take 2mg once a day sublingually instead of 2x2mg?

Can't split estrofem into 2 1mg doses.

I wasn't expecting:
>That I would get angrier more easily.
>Random boob pain.
>That my skin would feel so good, i cant stop touching myself when Im just on the internet or laying down.
>That my mens underwear are almost entirely unwearable.
>When I get a craving for something and eat it, I no longer have that craving instead of wanting over and over again for a while.
>Weird voice changes
>full body shivers/convulsions when im reading porn stories or looking at pictures.
>My physical reaction to other women.
>being partially mentally disabled for a bit when I cum right.
>afterglow
>Touching other people is amazing
>sensitivity to everything has been turned up to 11

I saw a post here a few days ago saying it has something to do with the glands near your eyes changing depending on your hormones, which causes women's eyes to look slightly bigger.
>>7760955
I'm still in boymode for now, but I've kind of noticed that as well. I've only practiced a little bit so far since I don't pass yet, but it kind of seems to fluctuate depending on the situation, so I do think its at least slightly psychological like you said. When I practice or when I'm talking to my family it seems to randomly flip back and forth between sounding semi-passable and sounding like an effeminate guy, but when I go out in public I just kind of revert back to my guy voice, and even then its still a tiny bit softer and higher-pitched than it was before.

>>7761056
I am on 100mg progesterone daily, i feel cycling it is just a stupid meme, my boobs didn't get bigger but...fuller, i guess, most effects i've got from it is that my hips got fuller and bigger, same for my ass
ive been on it for 5 months

>>7760469
Nothing surprised me because I did my research before I started.

I started freezing a lot, sometimes I have to wear double sweaters and it doesn't even help that much.
Also found it a lot easier to wake up in time in the morning, which is nice since I need more time to do face lotions and makeup now.

body odor change within days of starting (~10 days in now - yay!)

>>7766085
>freezing
holy shit this so much.
I'm always cold. Doesn't help that I live in Alaska but I'm always cold when others are not. I often have to wear a jacket indoors except at my house because otherwise I'm on the verge of shivering.

It's not a problem in summer usually, but in winter it's pretty lame.

Also I never really dared to hope that estrogen would completely fix my depression, but it totally did like right away. Suddenly I felt normal, at rest with myself, confident, healthier, more brave. With that came the realization of how bad I had actually felt before, so much more than I never even realized, just thinking about it makes me legit start crying.
Suicide had never been on the map because of my life philosophy, but I now realize that as I were, had I kept going and suddenly found myself in the mirror as a 40+ irreversible middle aged man I would've completely deteriorated and probably have done it. That's scary.

>>7766085
>I started freezing a lot
Iktf. Me and my male coworkers were in pretty strong disagreement over what temperature to put the thermostat. I always thought it was super silly how my mom was always cold, but now I am too.

>>7767717
THISTHISTHISTHIS
all of it
except for me the realization that that situation really would come was what made me bite the bullet and finally start at 24
I had no idea it would help with my depression and anxiety right away
I just feel so much more comfortable in my body and just being myself
there was this constant overbearing feeling of shame for no clear reason every moment of my life that just lifted once HRT started working
I feel ok with who and how I am now

I'm glad for you, I also started at 24, also that shame, just crushing your self worth. It's this extra weight of realizing how many years of my life had been spent feeling so bad that really does it for me.
Suddenly I look back ten years at this scared kid stealing their mom and sisters clothes while home alone and being so blissfully content with their self, but scared to death of being found out, trying to rationalize it with lies and modified truths. I just want to go back and tell her it's alright, no one will be mad, keeping it in will just make it worse, you should always be true to yourself. No one did that.

>>7767717
>>7767773
I had gotten that too and it surprised me after about a week or two how different I felt. That full body feeling of just wrong and awful coupled with depression that persisted for almost my entire life until then and it just dissipated. It was like being in a dark room that you just assumed never had lights or anything in it and then someone flips a switch and your just like "Fuck, This can happen? People can have light here?"
It was such a dramatic switch from what Im used to that Im still trying to figure out how to function like a normal person.
