Nothing much to report here.
I’m on day Two.
I don’t really expect to see any results for a couple of weeks.
Mental changes should start showing up first.
Physical changes should be showing up in a few weeks.
Facial hair should be the first to slow down, followed by hair on the other parts of my body that females typically don’t have increased hair growth at puberty such as their backs or their chests. Arm and leg hair will slow down but not by much.
Muscle loss should be coming up shortly after that.
The neat thing is I’m off work for the month of June for my annual vacation and this is when most of the new changes will start to come into effect.
When I go back to work after my vacation there should be some noticeable changes.
I’m hoping that after my first three months on 50 ug patches that I can look at something stronger. But this will depend on the results of my blood tests.
As long as nothing goes out of whack and as long as my body processes the estrogen properly I can’t see any reason why I wouldn’t be able to step the dosage up.
One thing that I didn’t anticipate with transitioning is that blood tests will be a frequent requirement. For the first while they’ll be monthly. This is just to make sure that my androgen levels are decreasing like they should and that the estrogen is not harming my liver.
