20th May: One Month Later...


Its been a month! Yes! A month since I had my surgery and started on hormones (properly). I am elated. On May 20th, I celebrated a month of being testosterone-free and of using estrogen. What are the results? They are listed below.

  1. Breasts – Don't ask me why this is the first thing I mentioned but honestly, this was indeed one of the major changes I was waiting for! My boobs are popping out! Much like how the tits of young girls who have just entered puberty start growing. The nipples are extra-sensitive (forgive me if some things are graphic/disturbing) and a large stone-thing has developed making the area swell out. The whole place is sensitive making me feel itchy and uncomfortable all the time! Otherwise, I am elated! Very very much! I like them kabisa and can't wait for them to continue growing!
  2. Face & Skin – Interestingly, my face and skin have become waay smoother than ever. My face in particular is much much better than ever before. The “five-o'clock shadow” is less visible, nearly not there. Though I still grow facal hair, it now grows less faster than before. Actually half less (takes two days longer to be visible).
  3. Body shape – I may be exaggerating on this but I think my body shape is shifting. I tend to see more hips (Ive always had hips) and smaller waist. But this is rather speculative at the moment and I still have to be patient. The only thing noticeable is the fact that I am eating slightly more now than before!
  4. Calmness, Tranquility – Yes, this is true. Apparently, testosterone makes men very rough, easily agitated and all. So now indeed, I am calmer, more at peace and easier to deal with. I heard rumours that I will be moody and emotional but I am yet to feel that so lets wait and see. Either way, I am enjoying all the tranquility!
  5. Hot Flashes – I remember a colleague of mine telling me about her having a hot flash and I wondered how it would feel. Now I felt it! I did. Several times! They aren't the nicest thing to have but...having them somehow reassures my womanness now...something that I am happy about!
  6. Loss/Decreased Libido – Well, I am young so I can work up some sort of “in-the-mood” for myself but I have to say I have felt the decrease.

I can't remember other stuff for now, but generally, its going well. Something else exciting is how its now so much easier to tuck that thing down there! Hidden away nicely! I even got a chance to wear a micro mini the other night! Cool!


XOXO!

p.s.

I am lost. I have no idea what to write about. Fine this blog is about my life but, due to security concerns, I am not sure exactly what to say and what not to say. So my question is, do you have anything you'd like me to talk about?

Ask me anything!

And She's Back


Am back to work. I am very happy about it. Two weeks is no joke! I am so glad that everything worked out for good. I feel calmer and easier and happier...I mean, I have no words! Basically, its a calm happy serene mood I have been having of late. I simply wanted to make an update post before I seriously delved deep into workaholic-ism again!

So, my wound has healed, though there is still a little bit of swelling. The area is kinda itchy and thats annoying. The biggest physical relief definitely would be the lack of a bulge! Boy am I glad about that!! And now I have to make sure I eat well, drink lots of water and ensure I don't miss my estrogen pills. FYI, I am taking Estradiol Valerate 4mgs pd.

I am so glad that I did this and basically anyone who asks me why I did it I say its for two somewhat conjoined reasons. One, because of all the money I will be saving, and considering I don't see my SRS happening anytime soon, and Two, because of the immense relief I am and will forever (hopefully) continue enjoying due to lack of testosterone in my body. Here is a link about it through someone who went through it herself and one account which I think best describes the effects of Orchiectomy and here is another account by another lady.

Thank you all for the support you have showed me. Really, much of the strength I have I draw from y'all!

XOXO!
