[The First Aria]

1) First Question: Do you, or did you have budding pains the same as you did if you used Herbs?

2) How long did it take for you mentally to adjust to HRT?

3) How long did it take for you to REALLY notice your body changing?

1. Yes exactly the same but the growth was a little faster (it`s slowing now at over 6 months in).

2. the effect was almost instant, but it`s not something you really have to get used to per se, although it doesn`t take too long to forget what it was like to be constantly depressed, anxious, aggressive, fearful etc... they become words only after a while.

3. that`s a hard one to answer really, breast make noticable changes, as does some fat deposits (thighs and a$$ for me mainly, but also a thin layer under your skin that hides quite a few veins). facially Nothing really, at least nothing I couldn`t really put down to regular cleanse, tone, moisturise daily.
I`v heard from several places (and seriously hope it`s true), that Most of the changes happen in the second year anyway.

also I`m on a transition dose too, so I don`t know about low or mental effect maintainance doses?

Well, I think my regular Doctor and Therapist think I would benefit from at least a low dose HRT program. Whatever that means.

I suppose I would see a little more feminization than I have to present, beings that if they do recommend that, it would be the real thing.

I greatly appreciate your reply, Katie. Thanks so much!
