3 weeks on hormones only one major wtf moment that caused me to realize how much my body needs estrogen. I got angry about having to go through all this and the reality of it. I stopped hormones for 3 days on that 3rd day I was such a mess my wife talked me off the cliff per say and I started back up. Some say it is a placebo but i can tell you forme the hhormonesaallow me to function. It is nice to not have the buzzing or the craziness. I start group therapy next week which only meets once a month and i am starting to step out a little.... slowly but still moving forward.

I do have a question though... i have noticed and realize the patch wears off about day 2.5 so I understand that. I posted something about it and others had similar exp. My new feeling is that it doesn't seem to be enough estrogen imo. I still have anxiety and other issues, I will admit that they are no where near as strong as they were. I also find myself needing ti dress to express which i thiught would go away with the hormones. I know they effect us all differently but i am nit sure what i thought i would exp. I will say that i find myself not dwelling on all this every moment of the day... just every 3rd moment. So end the end i go forwarf still with my plans ...slowly though

Read the instructions on the box. I've used two different brands, and both were 3.5 days.

Good for you. Stay on your meds. Transition happens in it's own time at it's own pace. Glad to hear you are having relief from all those those months of suffering. Stay the course you are doing well.
