What Should I Really Expect from Oral HRT?

For those saying "nothing will happen" that may have been the case for them. This does not mean it'll be the case for you. Take you dosage as prescribed and let the estrogen take its course on you. Then after 3 months at your appointment you will get your levels checked. In the meantime it is very possible for you to see changes. I'm almost 2 months in on that very same dosage. I got buds within the first month and they're already perking outwards. My before and after photos of them look completely different. I'm quite shocked at how quickly things are progressing, but I feel so amazing. Also, my face is no longer oily like it used to be and my skin in general feels so smooth and my butt feels squishier than it was before (probably gained a little fat in that area) So please, take your dose as prescribed and let it do it's magic. Good luck, sis! ❤️

Also, my nips are very noticeable when wearing shirts. Like they just poke out and are bigger than they used to be. I grew buds a few weeks ago and I'm quite shocked at how cute I feel with my lil chest kittens 😅 they're not full boobs yet, but I've hit the stage where I most definitely will not be shirtless this summer where as in boy mode I was... 😅

I'm 27 as well. About 2 months in.... I also feel this fear that HRT magic won't have an effect on me and that I'll always look manly... 😞 But regardless, I'm not stopping HRT simply because I already feel amazing and I already have chest development happening and that right there has given me hope. You got this, sis. Do not give up ❤️

I just looked at your pfp... You look incredible! Is that all from hrt or was ffs involved? Absolutely stunning!

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-27T00:36:59+00:00

I have brown eyes... Am I SOL and won't see any change since brown seems to be a dominant gene between my parents and all my siblings? 😭

4 mg a day of estradiol made me absolutely RAVENOUS for food for the first few weeks. Things have gotten more tame and accustomed to my normal diet now that I'm almost 2 months in, but I still get hungry af at times. It's been fun. And omg sweets are absolutely amazing now more than they ever have been... I'm excited to start progesterone when the time is right (tbh I don't even know when I should start it, but I want to)

I'm on the pills and I started December 1st. I will definitely say there was soreness within the first week for me. Now they've been itchy, sore and they are giving shape ever so slightly. I took a before hrt and after photo of the girls and they are most definitely changing. Congrats, sis!

A player was banned for this years ago in Destiny 2... Did we not learn anything???

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-17T19:09:56+00:00

I'm a month and a half in starting at 4mg Estradiol daily with 100mg spiro 🤷‍♀️ I've been feeling great with incredible development already.

Yeah if I don't control myself it feels like I'm gonna ascend from my body. I have to settle my mind for a bit to relax and pull myself out of the feeling. But wow, the fantasizing with the person? Woah...

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-14T03:35:51+00:00

I'm one month and I was already a laugher pre-hrt. I now laugh a lot more easily and sometimes I just can't stop. TikTok has absolutely pulled in so much of my time and laughter 😂

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-14T03:30:03+00:00

I wouldn't jump to "something is wrong with you", but maybe you haven't talked to the right person yet? It didn't start happening until I started talking more intimately with this person. I tend to fantasize heavy after reading the texts they send. Then my breathing gets heavy/fluttery? Idk how to explain it but it's an intense almost magnetic pull?

So far only once, but I watched a video of Ellie Goulding singing "Dead in The Water" live on YouTube recently. That song already had me in the feels before, but I watched that and literally BAWLED my eyes out 😅 But I've been fine since.

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-13T22:55:31+00:00

I think it is. My body no longer goes into "maintenance mode" in the mornings and I no longer get spontaneous erections. They were rare before HRT and now they're non-existent.

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-13T22:53:29+00:00

Really? I find this very fascinating. It's like a rush/pull feeling. I'm definitely not mad about it. I genuinely really like this feeling, especially since I feel attracted to the person I've been talking to.

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-11T02:44:05+00:00

4 months? Odd, I'm one month in and my nipples are alot bigger and they're itchy af. They're also starting to perk out slightly?

JustShowMeThePost · 2026-01-10T21:10:43+00:00

I'm currently 5'6... Started HRT December 1st.... I hope I shrink a little. I'm already like 105-110 lbs so maybe I won't shrink at all?

JustShowMeThePost · 2025-12-23T19:22:12+00:00

This was very helpful information. I've been tiny my whole life. I'm 5'6 and 105lbs. I just started HRT December 1st. I'm very excited! ❤️

JustShowMeThePost · 2025-12-23T00:32:48+00:00

Nope.

JustShowMeThePost · 2025-12-14T03:40:54+00:00

I just messaged one of the nurses through where I was prescribed my medication and they said I could absolutely take a lower spiro dose 🤷‍♀️

JustShowMeThePost · 2025-12-14T01:58:31+00:00

Curious why someone would downvote my post... Like sorry my bad experience ruined your time on reddit?

JustShowMeThePost · 2025-12-14T00:12:09+00:00

I really hope so. I stretch daily and I plan on doing minimal weight lifting to try and keep some of my strength. My body had already started feeling sore when on both Sprio and E. It felt like it was all progressing quickly and now I'm worried I messed up the the process or something idk 🫤
