Hey girls and friends, I am 8 days on hrt and I feel like my skin is already softer ??? Is it even possible or am I just imagining it?

Nothing else seems to have changed.

    Oh great to hear it :D

    I don’t know what kind of feeling I was expecting but I believed that I would be able to feel the change in hormones :p

    Also: My endocrinologist (spelling???) told me that quite quickly new fat would be deposited in girlies spots. I already ate quite a lot this weekend. Let’s put this claim to the test^^

      How’d it go? Notice anything?

      Fat will deposit in more feminine places but there is no mechanism to actively remove it from elsewhere. That’s why trans men need top surgery. Hormones can only make they cannot unmake.

      You do burn fat and it is removed everywhere in an impartial way. Expect changes to take time.

      Sometime soon your nipples will start to get sore and hurt. That means things are developing!
