One Month on Estrogen
Many readers must be curious about my experience with female hormones by now. As you know I have been sticking a fresh Estradiol patch onto my skin every four days since December, 6th.
I am very surprised about the effects myself. Within a week it became clear that more was happening than I ever expected. My consciousness has been broadened, my senses work better than they ever did. This effect persists. You get used to it, but it remains ever present. These effects started on day #2 already. The most striking effect must be I awake much fitter every morning than I ever used to!
Reading about the effects you always find stories about increased emotions. I haven’t really noticed that. I have always been quite emotional and I was easily touched by a song or a movie. This has increased, but I haven’t felt a clear moment of change in that.
And then there are the physical effects. That is what it is all about, isn’t it? That is why you do this. At least these were the things I was thinking of most before I started. Well, these effects do occur. I have gained more than four pounds in weight over the past month! Not everybody would be pleased by that. The main question is of course: Is it going to the right places?
No, not all of it: My tummy is getting thicker. Nobody likes that. That is why several skirts suddenly don’t fit me anymore. But my breasts are now growing very noticeably too. It goes so fast they even hurt, especially when I am riding my bicycle: every bump in the road hurts me!
I have read about falsies you can stick to your body. They say those give “a very natural feeling” if you wear them. But now I can tell you from experience that breasts do not feel natural unless they can be sore!

What is a reasonable dosage of Estradiol tablets per day for me?
