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˜…

Lots of great responses! My E is from Estradiol, if that helps.

We all mean estradiol when we say E here! I meant more the brandname and such.

Ope, I couldn't say for sure. The brand isn't on my prescription bottle as far as I can tell :/

[-] will_steal_your_username 1 points 19 hours ago

Unfortunate. No label with any info? Just a bottle with pills in it? Never heard of things being prescribed in this manner before

Oh no there's a label with plenty of info, just no brands that I recognize. Here's what it looks like, with anything specific to me or my area obscured.
