Soft………

Well, one thing that I’ve noticed over the past few weeks is how soft my skin is now.

Since I started taking estrogen a few weeks ago my skin has become noticeably softer and smoother.

And yes, this was to be expected, but I didn’t think that it would have been this noticeable.

My breasts are noticeable, but not that noticeable. I’ve seen guys with bigger Molson boobs than what I currently have.

They’re just barely large enough to show through my tops, but they are large enough to snag the shoulder strap of my laptop case.

I don’t think I’ll have to resort to the Judy Blume exercises…….

But hot damn my nipples are super sensitive.

My body fat feels different too. It’s a lot more squishy and jiggly.

Mood?

My mood is different. Can’t quite explain it, but it’s different.

I’ve got an appointment with my doc next week.

See how well my kidneys and liver are taking to the new hormones.

This will be the first of my never ending blood tests and we’ll see how much estrogen was in my bloodstream on the final day of the four day period for my patch.

We’ll decide if I stay with the same patches or if I go up in strength.

And we’ll eventually decide if I go on androgen blockers.

Then I’ll know for sure what the mood difference is between androgen and estrogen.

Sometimes when I go to apply a new patch, the exposed portion of the patch will fold over and touch itself. Because of the adhesive I can’t get that half apart. I wasn’t sure what to do with the 1/2s that were good. Well, I can actually cut off the stuck together part of two different patches and then use the good parts as one patch and cover them with Tegaderm. Just like new!
