I'm two months into HRT and have good and not so good to report. The good is that I'm feeling good and getting out more to explore the real me. At my 2-month follow-up, my doctor doubled my dosage of both Spiro and Estradiol and will increase the Estradiol again at my next visit in early July. After two months on very low dose E, my levels are already in the puberty range for a female. I have also noticed that my sweat odor is almost completely gone. Where 45 minutes on a treadmill used to make me unbearable to myself, now I can't even detect any body odor.
On the disappointing or not-so-good side, my T levels are still quite high. Definitely on the low side for my age group but not anywhere near a female level. I'm hoping that doubling my spiro dose, which means taking it twice a day instead of once, will pay off and really bring those levels down. Also, I'm so far not seeing much of any physical changes, however, my therapist swears she can see some significant differences in my face. I'm noticing my dysphoria far less often, but when it does show up, the feelings of anxiousness seem to be more intense.
Ultimately, I'm just excited to be making progress. I'm anxious for more physical results, but I know they're coming eventually. Right now I'm just trying to be patient (hard to do) and keep my self-esteem up (even harder to do).
