Figured I’d ask a positive question. For me it was the first time I’d put on estrogen. The HUGE relief I felt… and a few months in when I no longer felt I’d needed a breast form.
I saw gals describe their first time on E as seeing everything in a much more vibrant tint, but I didn’t experience that. - is that really a thing, or is it more metaphorical? :3
For me the libido basically dropped off after a few days (initial sudden T spike which caused libido to rise due to the sudden influx of E, then it calmed down).
Then mentally I started feeling clearer in the first month or so, a bit like I no longer laughed halfassedly when I did, and more 3/4assedly genuine, rising upward with time.
Skin started feeling softer a month after start.
Buds came in the second month.
Hairline started getting back to normal five months in, I think?
Boobs around six months and growing. And now it’s currently just continuing fat redistribution.
Body hair thinning by eight months. :3
I found estrogen actually increased my horniness, but it was a very different kind of horniness than testosterone libido (which felt “wrong” to me, and which I hated so much I wondered if I was asexual or meant to be asexual).
I sort of wish it had reduced my libido, but alas. At least now my sexuality feels more right, and it’s probably good that I didn’t completely lose libido - my partner would probably not be happy about that.
Yeah, softer skin and breast buds started early for me. My hairline is still cursed IMO, but it’s not that bad - I just don’t like the way it looks and I wonder if it will ever be better.
I would say yeah, around 6 - 8 months my boobs were noticeable and probably were helping me pass around that point.
The effects vary depending on genetics, dose, route, etc. such that we do notice lots of similar patterns but with lots of variance.
I feel bad for the girls who take oral estrogen, though - I feel like it just does not feminize as well as other routes (particularly compared to injections).
I do oral E and the changes came on hard and fast for me. Libido tanked amost instantly, and when I finally experienced girl horny, it was so foreign, I didn’t eve realize I was horny 😆. I’m about 5 months in, and I’m starting to go out without my breast forms because my boobs are getting big enough to make my bras too tight with them. I’ve upped my dose twice from 2mg to 4 and then to 6 about a couple weeks ago and each increase has come with a massive emotional spike that lasted a few days. The only other change I’ve noticed that I’m definitley not imagining is muscle atrophy. Every week or two my thighs or shoulders will start screaming like I ran a 10k with no prep, but I’m just sitting around reading 😭
Like instead of a “turn neck around for hottie and want to fuck” horniness, it being more of a “want to relax, cuddle and attach” horninesss, right? At least, that’s my experience.
I take spray in combination with antiboyotic injections, so idk how that is. But for me it’s helped, currently on size 85C.
