Trying hard to trust the process, and while I have seen other expected changes in skin, hair, and mood, I am getting anxious that nothing is happening under my shirt. I had some minor sensitivity within the first two weeks, but never anything painful.

This Friday will be 6 weeks on HRT. 2mg Est, 4mg Prog, 200mg Spiro daily.

Edit: thanks for talking me off the cliff everyone, I'm much less anxious now ๐Ÿ˜…

6 weeks isn't very long, and if you're just starting your likely on a lower dose as your doc ramps you up to whatever level works.

I'd talk to your doc or whoever prescribed you the meds about dosages and what your levels are, they usually monitor with bloodwork to try to get you in the normal ranges, and if you have concerns they will usually work with you to try to get the results you want.

But yeah. i didn't really notice breast development for a good few months(partially due to my weight too at the time), and they didn't really stop growing for a few years. It was just a lot of very slow growth over time.
