been taking estradiol enanthate via subq injection for the past 3 weeks, 0.15 ml every 7 days. i haven’t really felt anything different tho… is it too soon to tell? im not on t blockers, mainly bc im still closeted, but i thought by now id feel some change by now
My partner has been on hrt for over 3 years now, she says you’re looking at 2 to 3 months minimum before physically feeling any changes. Its a long slow process, her body still continues to change. Take your time, trust the process. You’ve already done the hardest part :)
thanks for the advice! okok i thought so but wasn’t sure, someone close had told me i would experience mood changes and such within a few weeks after starting lol
Yep and it takes about four years for physical progress to slow, even though some alterations will continue. Oestrogen isn’t like serotonin; where increased levels of serotonin cause fairly abrupt changes but the results across those who take SSRI/SNRIs are inconsistent, the results of higher oestrogen levels are slow and hard to notice at first without taking progress photos, but it is consistent, works for everyone, and will be noticeable in a few months. Body hair thinning and lightening for me was the first sign.
