Transition
A non-comprehensive accounting of the effects I experience from HRT
- 11/7/2024: I start Estradiol (2mg tablets, 3x daily)
- 11/14/2024: I cry three times watching The Wild Robot in theaters. I am used to crying no more than a few times a year, and typically only at very speicfic prompts. I simply find a children's movie emotionally resonant in this case.
- 11/18/2024: I find myself urinating much more frequently. My bladder muscles are noticably weaker, and I need to be more cognizant when using the restroom as a result.
- 11/27/2024: I wake up to sharply increased chest sensitivity. This persists in perpetuity.
- 12/7/2024: I notice the state of active arousal has shifted to a more psychological experience than a physical one. I realize I no longer experience proactive erections; intent is a prerequisite in all but a few instances.
- 12/18/2024: I realize I cry about once a week now, and not as a result of particular psychological turmoil.
- 1/1/2025: I inadvertently make myself lactate from both nipples when inspecting them. I am now capable of making them yield a droplet with firm squeezing most times I attempt to do so.
- 1/6/2025: My roommate notes that she can see the outline of breasts when I am wearing a tank top. It is not enough to be noticable as distinct from the 'cleavage' that cis men of some statures possess, but it is noticably different than even a month ago.
- 1/8/2025: My chest sensitivity is intense enough I find myself having to wear a bandeau out of necessity for the day.
