Day 10 – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I wanted to have some pictures to serve as a basis for comparison before I got too far along on hormones so I took these wonderfully flattering shots!
Next week my friend Felicity and I are going to start a weekly photo update of my progress, maybe I will make a slideshow out of it someday. π
I have been feeling a little more emotional lately. I’ve had a few mood swings that caught me off guard but any increase in emotions comes as a welcome sign that the hormones are working.
Nipples, what can I say? They have been getting puffy. I am a little worried because it seems like they go back down as I get to the 16-20 hour mark after I take my pills. Maybe the dose is so low it is wearing off? Only time will tell I guess.
Until next time! π
OH!
I spent like 2 hours uploading all of my old pre-hormone pictures under the gallery section so I hope you enjoy them!
Day 9
New jacket I got a few weeks ago!
Well, my weight has been fluctuating a lot in the past few days. I was down to 164 but now I am back up to 166. At work things seem harder to lift but I think it is a little too early to attribute that to muscle mass loss, although that could also account for my weight loss.
I am definitely noticing more sensitivity in my nipples and some puffiness, They even ache a little! π
Thats it for today, but soon I will be starting a weekly photo timeline to show how the hormones effect me. Check back soon!
Day 5
After 5 days on hormones I haven’t felt much,
the only thing different I’ve noticed is random perky nipples.
Wether it’s the hormones or if it’s just in my head who knows. π
Weight: 166lbs
I am going to keep track of weight and other measurements such as chest, waist, and hips to see how much hormones change my figure.
