Feeling discouraged 😧 I've been on #hrt for 9 months with minimal changes. The last 3 has shown no change even with an increase in estrogen. I'm currently taking 6mg of estrogen in pill form & 200 mg of spiro. I know it takes time but really wish something more would happen 😟

Patience, Jedi. As someone who has been around that block, I know what you're feeling.
That's the "fun" thing about this journey. We often can't see the changes. And they often happen in spurts. You're going to notice something and mention it to your confidante who will inevitably say.. "Oh, I thought you knew".
@Graci I'm generally a patient person but lately I've been seeing all these people on HRT for less time than me who have seen far more changes. I know everyone is different and who knows maybe I'm still not on the right dose. So far no one has mentioned seeing any changes either, which doesn't help
@MarvelousMadi13 I get it. It used to frustrate and depress me to see girls that I helped when they came out, go zipping by. I finally accepted we're all different and that where I am is better than where I was. That seems to be the important perspective that we too easily lose.
Find something positive to focus on today and don't let it go. You can do this.
@Graci Most days are pretty good, but today has just been rough. I think all the anti trans bills flying at us hasn't helped my mood either, but luckily I have had some good things happen today so will def try and focus on those ☺️
