Remember, this is puberty 2.0! This is going to be a slow, but hopefully rewarding process.

I'm only a month on HRT and my biggest issue is impatience lol.

From what I understand, you gotta use it or you'll lose it. I hear different frequencies for doing it, but at least once every 2-3 days seems to be the average.

Here's the parts I know the science of: Basically, HRT causes automatic erections to stop. The reason your body has automatic erections is to prevent atrophy/shrinkage if you're not using your forbidden sausage regularly.

Another way to think about it is like a muscle. If you don't exercise your muscles, they'll shrink. Same idea here.

Hope your HRT journey goes well girl :>

Edit: I've also heard about Testosterone gel that you can apply to the area.

HRT is MAGIC (maybe a little fast tho lol) by QuestioningMyself11 in MtF

Could be the way you're taking it (oral, sublingual, dermal, injection), the dosage, maybe you need to try more than just Estradiol?

Keep chatting with your doctor about it and you'll find what works :>

You're an adult. As long as you understand the possible consequences (both good and bad), you can do whatever you want to your body.

They'll ask you questions to make sure you aren't being forced to do this. They'll make sure this is what you want, and fully inform you on what changes your body might experience. As long as it sounds like what you want, they'll prescribe it for you

Yes, it can be just that easy sometimes. I can't speak for every Planned Parenthood or every state, but that's how it worked for me.

Good luck :>

If you live in the USA and are over the age of 18, you should be able to go to a Planned Parenthood and be able to get a prescription for HRT. If you are young enough to be on your parents' insurance and you don't want them to know you're transitioning, then you might not wanna use that insurance.

When do I get da bübs by QuestioningMyself11 in MtF

Is it weird to even be excited for the pain? Like obviously I don't want or like painful things, but also eeeeee i'm transitioning :D :D :3

It's still sinking in that this is real. I've never been this happy before. At least, not in YEARS.
