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˜…

I'm on implants too. Love them precisely for that reason. Not having to think about HRT is nice

Oh. Well, in that case, FYI, I get 100mg pellets and they last about 12 months

what is recovery like after the implant?

I ask because I have a relative who got pellet implants but it took a while for them to be able to sit right and engage in aerobic exercise (can't remember if it was a week?), and they had to get the implant once every few months so it wasn't reasonable for them.

About $160 AUD for the pellet. Plus whatever a long appointment with the GP costs.
