It has almost been 4 months since starting HRT. I can't believe how fast 4 months have passed. Not much in the changing department. My breast are growing slowly, but boy do they hurt. Every time a chill runs through my body it feels like lightning bolts are shooting out my nipples. I have been progressively getting colder. I wear a fleece jacket almost all the time and I'm still cold, I can't wait till it warms up outside. Hair growth has been interesting. It seems to be slow growing some days and others it is growing like wild fire. My chest hair has continued to be slow growing which is good, I only have to shave my chest every other day. My leg hair seems to go in spurts... one moment it's taking longer to grow and the next I'm a wookie... guess this is the joys of the hormones leveling out. Arm hair is taking longer to grow. Facial hair has stayed the same: slow growing with straight razor, slightly less normal growth with electric razor. Too bad I can't use a straight razor every day, but I get major razor burn by the second day. My metabolism has seemed to change a bit, I'm eating more, but not gaining weight... staying about the same. I do need to start exercising though, I bought some cute shirts from Vicky's but I need to lose my love handles. This past Sunday I discovered how helpful bras really are. We went to Easter service at my great-aunt's church and I wore a suit in total boy mode. Without having a bra on, my A's were jiggling a little bit and my nipples were rubbing against the fabric of my shirt causing major discomfort, plus they were cold without a bra on. I think that's it on my HRT progress.
And a very happy note, one of my best friends messaged me today. Her mom, who sells Mary Kay and knows about me, offered to do a sit down and teach me some makeup tips and try some different foundations. I am so excited!!! We are doing it this Saturday and it's gonna be loads of fun. I can not wait.
Yea!!!
