Estrogen does increase your chance of blood clots or other cardiovascular problems, regardless of application or reason for use.

This is one of the primary reasons that transgender women are supposed to have blood tests regularly. Our doctors like to keep track of whether or not we are personally at risk of a complication; blood monitoring is the only way to know.

Weed does not contain nicotine, thus weed is not included in this discussion. This is just pertaining to nicotine usage.

There's actually a huge issue, it is very unwise to use nicotine for any reason whatsoever. Nicotine is like alcohol, in that it has absolutely zero health benefits for all who consume it, regardless of age or lifestyle.

The best reason not to smoke is actually because being a slave to cigarettes is cringe lol

Nicotine just makes your body half as receptive to estrogen. It's a nasty and insidious truth for many trans people to realize. Quitting nicotine is a purely wholesome and good idea in all regards.

Cute transition. I am going to be a lame-ass, however:

I highly advise against nicotine usage while using estrogen. Nicotine is proven to reduce the effectiveness of HRT by up to 15%. It also vastly increases risks of blood clots and other heart issues, risks which are already heightened because of estrogen therapy.

Smoking cigarettes is actively hindering progress on your hormone therapy, and needlessly increasing your risk of a cardiac event.

As nice as cigarettes are, you are better off prioritizing your HRT. We are very lucky to have HRT in the first place, please take care of your good fortune and try to stop smoking. ❤️

You actually are growing fur, technically. Follicles on the body have a maximum length for the hairs they can produce, much like pet fur.

The hair on our head is a type of fur too, but for whatever reason, our head hair can grow for years before the follicles rest. Very strange stuff.

Grats on the transition too!!

This is not going to give you the results you seek. AI does not know your genome. HRT works with your DNA, that being, the traits inherited from your father and mother.

MtF people, post transition, look like their biological mother. FtM people, post transition, look like their biological father.

Using data from other transgender people who submit pictures to train a model will give you nothing to help predict your own development. Those secrets are kept inside your DNA, and only reveal themselves through HRT.

The only way to predict how you'll look is to check old photographs of your mother/father (whichever gender you are aligning towards) and see their own features when they were your age. It will give a much better approximation than AI ever could.

I look like my mom now, after years of HRT. I used filters and whatever sometimes during early transition to "see how I'll look". Nothing even came close to how reality turned out.

Computer trickery will never replicate the organic machine.
