Hi,

54 days HRT, pains in my chest and nipple area have gone, I finfd that I keep catching my arms on the nipples so something is going on.

I have now found that my hips are sore also the my thighs look chunky and my calf look different is thia normal.

Today is 62 days, last night I had a video call with my Doctor from Eden New Life, great call and we discussed my meds,.

Having more blood tests at end of August, then should up my Oestradoil Pump up to 2 a day, says that by Xmas there should be some real growth, well lets hope so as it feels like I have been doing this forever, did say doing it slow because of my age, fair enough and again that is what Jennifer and Lotus told me.

Been using nipple extractors past few days and these are the results (so far) also you may notice a littel growth but not much. Photo taken today 8 August

IanW55, your nipples are looking great! Looks like your on your way. I want to see how this works you as I seemed to have stalled with PM. Keep posting on your progress!

Amazing progress. I can't wait to see how far you'll go come December.

Great progress and love those nipples...
I've changed to Oestragel pump (from prognovya) and it seems to be as effective.
Good luck wiih your growth.

Hello Ian,

You are now in good hands.
And you had good development in a very short time.
I have nothing more to bring you, follow your program and everything will be fine.

Kisses my friend.

Hello all,

Saturday for me is a turning point, it is 3 MONTHS on HRT.

I have a video consultation with my doctor, for those who dont know I am now with a company called Eden New Life (google them) the Doctor is called Doctor Parker, been brilliant with me, you can see his profile on there.

That meeting will be to discuss increasing my dose of Oestrogel pump from one to two, what I would like to know is that call will be a turning point, may I ask a simple question.

How many on here would stay on HRT if they could or revert back to Pm or other means, from what I have read if I stay on HRT I will have to stay on it forever.

Bit more to the question, at this stage I would like to keep it to myself, but after I may tell all.

HRT is stronger than any herb you can take. PM is similar to Estriol (E1). HRT is Estradiol (E2). There's no way I'm going back to PM.

There's nothing stopping you reverting back to PM / whatever, When you look at the typical timelines reported by clinics etc they all say that most changes are generally reversible to some extent, other than breast growth which is permanent.
One thing to consider when going to HRT is that it is the proper stuff so you should see more and thorough feminisation changes, so just make sure it REALLY IS what you need(not a nice to do / or a want). 
Good luck with your regime.

First of all thank you for the replies and thank you to the private emails, I appreciate the input.

I have had a session by video link with my doctor and discussed my aims and expectations after 3 months, 12 weeks yesterday. Ok some may disagree, some may say that makes sense, well each of us has different aims and goals and I am sure using our own methods we will get there in our own way.

I am a late 69 year old and will be 70 in January 2025, as you may be aware until I went under a doctor I was messing around, like a fool I took all sorts and yes thanks to some members on here they probably saved my life, you know who you are, so thanks again.

Today is good news day, I am allowed to increase my HRT gel by an extra dose from 1 to 2 a day, fantastic, I am using Bessons Oestrogel. That is all I am taking, I asked what about a testosterone blocker, the answer was a surprise so here goes

The HRT I am on will naturally bring my testosterone down and raise my estrogen, to rush it will cause me all sorts of medical issues and will give me headaches and possible blood clot issues, he does not want to let me kill myself by rushing it.

As I am a mature person going through this it has to be done slowly, if I was younger then he would use a different approach, an approach that for younger people does not carry the same risk levels.

All my other bloods came back perfect, I have not suffered any adverse effects and have some slight growth, photos in a previous post. Aske me to lift my top and turn to the front then left and right, as I do not really see anything he said I have the start of budding and slight breast tissue and very happy so far.

I was applying the gel in the evening after my shower and he said no, do it in the morning, explained why but I wont bore you.

Says keep at it and I will have a lot more noticable growth by Xmas, so happy days for me.

Love to all
Ian
