Four weeks in. Estradiol pills, 2mg, twice a day sublingually. At around two weeks I noticed my nipples had gotten bigger and much more sensitive and my skin is much softer.

Now four weeks in, I have the beginning of breast development, my chest occasionally hurts, I’m much more confident and a good bit happier and weight redistribution has started, but not much. My face looks a bit different. I get carded every time I try to buy alcohol (I’m 28 btw) and multiple bartenders and convenience store clerks have expressed astonishment at how young I look. I’ve gained nearly 10 lbs, my hips and chest are a bit squishy now when they were pretty bony previously. I’ve also been hungrier and eating more. My muscles are softer and more squishy now too, not quite atrophied, but I’m a very active person. They’re less defined even when I flex now.

It’s apparently hitting me much faster than is common, but I have a friend who had a similar timeline and the doc seems to think it’s fine.

Edit: I forgot to mention that my dreams are different now and my libido has dropped considerably as well.
