It's also important to remember that for the first 3-6 months the effects are reversible if you find HRT to not actually be helping you mental state.
If it -is- for you, you'll know well within this window
Thanks, Doc.
This was the tweet back in the early days of COVID that started the wheels turning in my head that maybe I wasn’t as cis as I had assumed I was.
Just getting on t-blockers, the afternoon after my first dose I literally thought I had seen color for the first time, and so much of my life made sense because I was being literally poisoned and had no idea until then. It was like Dorothy waking up in oz. It really was that dramatic.
Should I start being worried if it's been 2 months and I haven't noticed anything changing?
I'm starting to get a mental downswing because of not seeing the breakthrough kind of change everyone talks about.
I know I'm super fuckin' weird because I have had *extremely* minimal effects from even relatively high-dose HRT, but also given how people talk about being on the wrong hormonal balance I suspect if it's *not* for you, you'll super super know!
My doctor said "if this isn't right for you, you'll know."
I messaged her less than a week later with "oh my god I'm not a disembodied ghost! I have a body! And it feels things"
So, HRT is prescription only, yeah?
(asking as an american with no health insurance rn)
I'm already losing hair because of stress, surely the attempt couldn't make anything *worse* right?
hypothetically speaking
