This may be long. But i am wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation .
But first Hello, I have been a watcher of this site for quite a while. Well, actually the old site, and now the new site. During this time I read everything I could. I also belong to the yahoo diy-hrt group. Between these sites, I am sure I could probably put together a good program.
Early this year I came to grips with my TG/TS nature and started a dialog with my wife. We agreed that I need to see a therapist about my gender issues. But being out of work it is a expense I don't need. I also made a promise to not self medicate, which I have
stuck to.
Around the same time I started working out (cycling). I made a spread sheet with 15 points of measurement. With plans of doing a weigh in and measurement weekly. That feel through really quick, but I started out at 5'8" 229lbs with a 39" under bust and 41.5 across the nipple.
About two months ago my wife noticed when she was laying next to me that my pecs looked like I had cleavage. A couple of days later she started to accuses of taking hormones. So I pulled out my spread sheet to remeasure and compare. I'm now 219 with 38" under and 43 across the nipple. During this time i have gained an inch in my butt and hip measurement. And lastly I am getting an almost hourglass shape. With my midsection narrowing directly below my rib cage, and going wide at the pelvis. Which gives me a convincing " muffin top" in jeans. Just tonight my wife commented on how my left breast is starting to fill out below the nipple causing it to point slightly upward. During this whole time I have done nothing different in my lifestyle other than accept my female side mentally. Has anyone heard of the body rewiring itself?
I am somewhat concerned because I don't know what is causing the changes, even though I am liking the results. Any ideas what the heck is going on, I'm not ready to transition yet.
