Overview of My First Year of HRT (2021-2022)
Hi, my name is Sylvie, and I'm transfemme! I started hormone replacement therapy on September 25th, 2021 and I've been through quite a lot on my journey to a year of HRT so I'm making two separate posts: this one focusing on the medical side and physical changes, and another that will focus on the social side of transitioning. So, here we go!
I realized I was trans the last week of August 2021, then September 9th I came out publicly, September 15th I had my first appointment with Plume, and I received my first Estradiol script September 24th, but consider my official "first day" of HRT the 25th.
I started HRT on sublingual Estradiol pills, 2mg twice a day (morning and night). Psychologically, taking the first pill hit me like a psychosomatic lightning bolt, and the first meaningful change estrogen granted me was an opening of my feelings- I could suddenly experience a "true range" of emotion, I experienced ambivalence for the first time. Physically, within the first week, I was experiencing tingling in my chest/nipples and by three weeks they actively ached, and after about two months my nipples looked different (darker, larger), and my chest started to stick out (36" to 37")
At 2 months my Estradiol was increased to three times a day and Progesterone 100mg (at night) added. By two months, my body's sensitivity had reached astronomical levels, particularly in areas that weren't sensitive before: for me, this was my nipples, armpits, and butt. My skin overall became more sensitive, slight touches made me quiver and my pain tolerance dropped sharply. During my second month my body's smell changed too and my sweat production cut back.
At 3 months, Spironolactone 50mg once a day (morning) was added and during this month my nipples had noticeably expanded and become dark enough to see through shirts, and my chest had grown enough to be noticeable small mounds in a tight shirt (38"). Also by 3 months, random erections completely stopped happening, whether asleep or awake.
Between months 3 and 5 a lot of things happened in my life; the stress and inactivity caused me to lose 50 lbs. As a result, I lost a ton of muscle mass. My thighs, upper arms, and butt became soft and jiggly, I could not lift things I could before, even with great effort.
3 month bloodwork results: E @ 133 and T @ 320
At 4 months, I asked my doctor for Finasteride, which is a DHT blocker- DHT is an androgen created by testosterone and an excess of DHT is related to hair loss, as well as some research I read back then relating to DHT and thicker/darker body hair. Since starting Finasteride, I have only shaved and used Nair on my body itself and I have experienced 75%-80% body hair loss, and much of what hair remains is now vellus hair (light, short, soft).
Between months 4 and 5, I started experiencing sexual dysfunction. Even if aroused, it was a 50/50 shot of whether I could get hard or not. Likewise, I began producing much less semen. This was when I started experimenting with different forms of masturbating too (i.e. using a vibrator).
Between months 5 and 6 I started gaining weight again, and this was when my breast growth was the greatest, going from 38" to almost 41". However, in the growth it seems I lost the sensitivity I had in the early months- my nipples and armpits are still erogenous zones, but not as potent. Additionally, I noticed fat redistribution caused my hips and waist to take a more stereotypically feminine, almost hourglass appearance (and increased from 32" and 34" respectively to 35" and 38" by 10 months).
6 month bloodwork results: E @ 258 and T @ 22
Months 7, 8, and 9 saw only slight breast growth (41 1/2") due to losing weight again from stress, but at this point I have very little body hair left, and even areas which were full before (armpits, groin) thinned out significantly over time- the most astounding of all being my butt, which the cheek hair just disappeared without me doing anything, like the hair just fell off.
Somewhere during months 8 and 9, I completely lost the ability to become erect without medication (doctor prescribed me Sildenafil, aka viagra) and no more ejaculating. Reaching orgasm became a concentrated effort instead of something that came easily, and very little clear liquid would come out during.
9 month bloodwork results: E @ 57 and T @ 28
For some reason my levels dropped between 6 and 9 months, and during that time I became very mentally and emotionally unwell due to the hormone imbalances. My doctor suggested a few things: me not waiting/letting the pill dissolve long enough in my mouth or the pill just not having the same potency on me anymore. So...
At month 10 I started injections and almost immediately started feeling much better. There is a hormonal low day for me every week, the day before I do my injection again, but it's not hard to deal with. I feel like myself!
Now months 11 and 12, nothing really noteworthy to update except I'm desperately trying to eat more so I can gain weight to grow my boobs. Just stopped taking Spiro though, but I use Tgel to maintain my girldick because I'm a Switch.
Lastly, I'd like to say I'm open to any questions anyone might have, and I'll do my best to answer them. You can DM me, email me secretly from a fake account ([email protected] is my email), whatever! I just hope this information is of some value to someone out there!

A new study clarifies how a mysterious hormone, GDF15, makes insulin work better in rodents. As reported in Cell Metabolism, the researchers were the first to discover that the hormone GDF15 actually improves sensitivity in mice and rats, making them better suited to regulate their blood sugar and absorb energy in their muscles. The findings increase our general understanding of GDF15 and suggest potential benefits for diabetes and overweight. “Increased insulin sensitivity is an important indicator of health and critical for avoiding type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases. That we are now able to demonstrate a beneficial effect of GDF15 in rodents raises interesting perspectives,” says senior author Erik Richter, a professor at the University of Copenhagen.

Rockstar Love 03 & 04 - Hot'n'Cold
Kap.3
Zu Marcs Beruhigung will Rico sich weder mit irgendwem treffen noch Drogen besorgen (er sei clean). Zu Marcs Beunruhigung klettert er stattdessen auf das Flachdach eines einsturzgefährdeten Gebäudes, weil sich dort oben bei Mondschein die besten Songs schreiben lassen.
Marc klettert hinterher und zieht Rico von der knarzenden Dachkante weg. Er ist dabei alles andere als cool und stellt fest, dass Rico in ihm ein Gefühlschaos auslöst, das er sich seit 15 Jahren (also seit er 14 ist?) abzutrainieren versucht hat, um sich nicht wieder so ängstlich und hilflos zu fühlen wie Damals™.
Rico merkt, dass Marc ernstlich in Sorge war, und entschuldigt sich. Sein Songschreiben wird unterbrochen von einer Konversation über Marcs Plattensammlung (Erbstück von seinem Onkel, possible tragic past) und Marcs Verwunderung darüber, dass Rico mit der Hand und Stift und Papier schreibt. Das macht er schon so, seit er fünf ist.
Weil…Vollmond…und Hormone, knutschen sie unvermittelt ein bisschen rum, bis Marc einfällt, dass das ne ganz dumme Idee ist. Rico erzählt ihm, dass er früher schikaniert wurde, weil seine Schulkameraden dachten, er sei schwul; deswegen hält er seine Bisexualität auch geheim, im Gegensatz zu Marc, dem nie jemand dumm kam, weil er schwul ist.
Marc blockiert alle weiteren Annäherungsversuche und sie kehren ins Hotel zurück.
Kap. 4
Innerhalb weniger Minuten bringt Selina aus Marc heraus, was in der Nacht passiert ist. Dummerweise macht sie ihm keine Vorwürfe, sondern shippt die beiden auch noch. Marc begleitet Rico zum Rauchen nach draußen und betont nochmal, dass da zwischen ihnen nichts passieren kann, weil das seinem Job in die Quere kommt, bevor sie dann in Ricos Garderobe rummachen, bis Ricos Bandkollege hereinkommt und nach einer frischen Saite sucht.
Sie beschließen dann, dass sie einfach bis Ende der Tour eine Affäre haben werden und sich danach nie wieder sehen. Wird hervorragend funktionieren, bin ich überzeugt. Als Selina anklopft (mittlerweile haben sie die Garderobe abgeschlossen) und Rico an das Interview in 45 Minuten erinnert, verziehen sie sich unter die Dusche, um etwas gegen Ricos Ständer zu tun.
Bei dem Interview stellt ein Reporter sehr unverschämte, persönliche Fragen an Rico, u.a. über seine erste Freundin, sodass Selina das Interview abbricht. Jack, der…äh…Bassist?, bemerkt, dass Rico noch bis spät in die Nacht wohl am neuen Album gearbeitet habe.
Hinterher erzählt Rico Marc ein paar Sachen über Anna, seine erste Freundin, mit der er noch immer in Kontakt ist und bei deren Vater wohl ein Journalist unverschämte Fragen gestellt hat.

hormone
ich weiß nicht ob du’s wusstest liebe kopf - aber das bist nicht du
du denkst nicht wirklich wie du grade denkst
der uterus tut seinen teil dazu
macht dass du grade in der luft festhängst
drängt dir die tränen in die augen
drängt dich zu zweifeln, selbstmitleid
du wirst es mir bestimmt nicht glauben
es hat ein ende, geht vorbei, bei zeit
all das was du gerade baust
reißt in paar tagen schnell schon wieder ein
und ganz egal wie furchtbar, schmerzhaft, laut
wird alles wieder schön und heller sein

i think the funniest thing ever is naming the diuretic hormone ‘vasopressin’. scientists took one look at it and said “yeah it do.”

This is the first summer in years that I didn’t compete in a triathlon. I did this to rebalance hormones (yay perimenopause), which it did. But mentally?! 😳🤯🥴 It’s like an athlete being benched from the sport they love. So today I did a sprint TRI, just because I needed to mentally feel that again. It was hot and I was exhausted, sweaty, dirty, muscles cramping…. and I LOVED IT!!!! 🏊🏽♀️🚴🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️ IYKYK

Flames’n’Roses 13: Come on Baby, light my fire
Evie geht Lend besuchen und zwingt ihn, Easton Heights mit ihr zu schauen.
Und da traf mich die Erkenntnis wie ein Schlag – genau in diesem Moment, als sich unsere Arme berührten –, dass ich total verknallt in ihn war.
Sie sprechen über die fröhliche Perspektive des Paranormalen-Artensterbens und das Gedicht mit den „Augen wie Bäche aus Schnee und Eis“, das Evie neulich träumte.
Dann kommt Reth rein. Er bringt Evie zum Schweigen und lähmt sie, wirft Lend gegen die Wand, umarmt Evie und wärmt sie wieder, vor allem mit seinem Griff um ihr Handgelenk. Die Wärme wird zu Hitze und Feuer, das wehtut und sich langsam in Evies Herz frisst, bis plötzlich der Alarm losgeht: Lend ist mit der Fußfessel durch die Tür gegangen.
Raquel taucht auf, nennt Reth beim Namen und zwingt ihn, Evie loszulassen und zu gehen. Raquel entschuldigt sich dafür, dass sie Evie nicht geglaubt hat – der feuerrote Feen-Handabdruck auf Evies Arm lässt sich nun wirklich nicht mehr mit Teenieherzschmerz erklären.
Evie sieht allerdings unter dem Handabdruck immer noch das Feuer lodern.

my (cis) brother is using my old license to buy wine and it has the gender marker F on there. so whenever he gets asked he just says “oh i’m trans”. its literally worked every single time.
#the narwhal speaks#we’re close enough in age and looks to pass for the other#if you took out photos and then shrunk it down on shitty plastic#if he gets asked why he doesnt quite look like the photo he has a whole speech planned abt how hormone replacement therapy changed so much#like muscle distribution etc#he hasnt been asked yet tho but hes practed the speech on me its totally great#what a time for our generation to be alive
