Heyoooo! It's been 7 days since I started HRT this past Sunday. In this past week I looked up a FUCK TON of "First week on hormones" posts from this sub so I wanted to make my own for any trans girls looking for help in the future when they start their journey!

​

The first thing I felt was sheer euphoria. I cried for 2 hours the night before starting on the phone with my boyfriend, terrified that something was gonna go wrong or that I was going to regret this in some way. Literally half an hour after taking the first pills (I'm on 50mg spiro and 2mg E, both only 1 pill, both once a day), I just felt like 10 elephants were lifted off my chest and I knew without a shadow of a doubt this was the right choice.

​

There's been zero physical changes yet from what I've noticed, besides slightly decreased libido. Before this week I was literally an orgasm addict, finishing 3-4 times a day. This past week I think I've done it once or twice every other day. I also have not really had to pee as bad as many people say you have to on Spiro.

​

The biggest change by far was the ability to finally process my emotions/cry tears again. There was so many times before this week in the last two years where I wanted to let it out and physically couldn't. Within this week alone I've gotten to tears 3 times; once cuz my friend's pet died, once cuz of my past and once out of loneliness. That was another thing; my friend stayed over at my dorm from Monday to Friday, and when he went home on Friday I felt so fucking lonely, more intense than ever before.

​

But it's not just negative emotions, praise feels 20 times better, even over text. An amazing person super close to me was texting me "Good girl" over and over and where pre-HRT it felt pretty good, now? It feels like he's complimenting my very soul/essence, I could feel the happiness just radiating through my entire body!

​

Hope this helps any future trans girls out there wanting to start HRT; this was my first week's experiences! I can't wait for more stuff to happen! It's different for everyone though, remember that. Thanks for reading~!
