My 1st Month on HRT

When I say time flew by, I really do mean it! It felt like literally yesterday when I took my first dose of HRT and one month later, I can proudly say, I've never been happier in my life.

In my first week on HRT, it was mainly the emotional changes that I’ve noticed along with a lowered sex drive, and physical changes like my skin and bladder. But right after my first week came to an end, I actually started noticing the new changes we’ve all been waiting to hear… breast growth. I’ve started noticing on Day 10 that my nipples started getting sore and sensitive, and within the span of just a few days I could literally start feeling the breast buds growing inside of my chest. I really want to tell you all more but I don’t wanna spoil the video I made about this so make sure to go and check it out!!

I also started noticing that my hair and nails were growing at an extremely fast rate. Like I’m not even lying when I say this, everyday when I would get out of the shower, I’d literally feel like my hair grew an inch. I’m now starting to go through the awkward stage with my hair, and I can now see why they call it “awkward” because it definitely is but I’m currently working on making a video all about this, addressing how you can make your hair look “less awkward” during the awkward phase. So make sure to subscribe and stay tuned for that!

So one of the biggest changes I’ve noticed in Week 1 of HRT was the lowered sex drive but after my 1st month on HRT, I’ve actually got big news to tell you all! But first I want to give a quick disclaimer that this will have to do with sex and what comes a long with that.

Ok so now, I’m going to be very vulnerable with you all because you all are my family and I want you to know everything on this journey. So one of the Big issues I’ve experienced since I was 15 years old was my insomnia. I’ve tried doing everything possible to address this issue from taking several types of melatonin to doing different meditation exercises before going to bed, and nothing worked. But as of last year, I started taking an antidepressant called Mirtazapine which helps me to sleep but along with that, I would also have to do one more thing, masturbate. They basically went hand in hand and I would need to do both in order to sleep well.

Soooo after starting HRT, I’ve noticed that I didn't have that same urge anymore but I would still do it until I would say until about my 3rd week when I started noticing it become nearly impossible. At first, it was just my mind that wasn’t interested in sex anymore but now my body started losing interest as well. So now after 1 month on HRT, I only masturbate about once or twice a week but I’m sure that’ll change again as the weeks go by. I also want to mention that I was so relieved to find out I was able to sleep well without having to do this regularly :)

Now, on to some of the emotional changes I’ve noticed after being on HRT for 1 month.

The first change was moodiness. I noticed I get pissed a little easier than normal and also show my emotions more easily, but not in a weird or bad way. It’s very subtle. Like for example, if I see someone at the grocery store cut in line, I’d roll my eyes. But before starting HRT, I’d probably just get a little annoyed but wouldn’t show it like I would now. I guess you can call it “sassiness” lol

The last change I’ve noticed after being on HRT for 1 month was the emotional emotional part of it. Like a lot of people say that they cry a lot easier than usual but for me I’d say it’s been the complete opposite. I feel like before I started HRT, I’d occasionally cry in a depressed way about how I hated my life. But now, I feel like it’s a lot harder to do this and I think I know why! So before starting HRT I kept on running into a wall with my love life and the sex drive I had definitely intensified these emotions. But now that I don’t have that same sex drive anymore, I don’t care as much about a love life and I don’t feel those feelings so strongly. It’s not that I don’t care about having a love life ever, it's just for the next couple years. I also noticed with my emotions that I can control and understand them a lot better than I did before. I’ll definitely make a video about this in the near future to address this in detail for those who are curious.

And that concludes my 1 month on HRT Update! I really hope you all found this blog post useful and please feel free to send me a message regarding any of this, I'd love to know about you and your journey!
