It was an interesting week last week. I wore a sports bra to work on two days. I now understand what people have been saying about nipple chafing. It was not bad though and kind of nice in a way. Maybe once or twice a day I will get little breast spasms with an accompanying pleasant feeling. I assume that is an oxytocin release.
Still, the breast tenderness I felt when I started on HRT is lessening. Maybe the E2 receptors are getting used to the levels.
The worst thing though is I have been having bouts of depression. There is a degree of loneliness and of separation from those around me. My wife has pledged her support, but changes the topic whenever I talk about anything related.
I think the hormones may be making it feel worse than it is. Something to talk to the endo about when I see her again in a few weeks.
