I am 5.5 weeks on HRT now and recently noticed some different feeling tissue underneath my nipples that are definitely the beginning of my breast buds. So I'm beyond happy currently 😊

At the same time I remembered how worried I was prior to starting HRT (though I never hesitated to get closer to HRT and eventually start it) because I always thought about what if I don't like any of the changes of HRT especially the permanent ones but now I can only laugh about that because I definitely like those changes very much 😂

Haha I had the same worries pre-hrt and now, seven months in, the changes just keep getting better! Hopefully your experience is as positive as mine has been!

Started going to a psychologist, it's needed before HRT in my country. That makes me happy because I'm finally making some progress, if everything goes well I'll start HRT next year. One bad thing is that I have harder time falling asleep now because of dysphoria.

I said frack it I am going into that store now and getting a summer dress -NOW-. I can't possibly stand another summer in winter clothing.

Finally getting over a nasty sinus infection. That screwed over my whole last week. Thrilled to be standing/moving around and have enough energy to do more than sit and stare at a screen.

Making bread to make sandwiches (a couple loaves of honey oatmeal and a loaf of rye)

Going back to work tomorrow but at least pretty well rested. Was getting sick and tired of being... sick and tired.
