Anyone Else Transition(ing) This Fast? Wondering If Medically Okay...

I've been on 50 mg spiro, 2 mg estradiol (and 0.5 mg avodart for head hair regrowth).

My face (especially the bottom) has shrunken in considerably, my lips gotten fuller (wider), my skin a little smoother. My shoulders & neck have compacted somewhat, have lost some arm strength. My butt has totally filled in, hips now have padding, and the outside of my thighs too.

The last few days, i'm starting to shed a little body hair (read: italian blood, so lots to start), the muscle on the inside of my thighs is compacting, my toes & fingers have gotten a little thinner (especially big toes).

I have also noticed a number of new head hairs starting to grow in, just so far hard to tell if that's part of the normal cycle or not.

This has all happened in three weeks. People here that know have commented in amazement, so it's not my imagination nor blown out of proportion.

Has anyone else (especially with a similar meds mix) started off with such changes this fast?

And do you think there is any reason to be concerned about my next blood work tomorrow am or that my doc is likely to put me on full strength meds in my appointment later this week?

Or that if the government finds out, they might want to experiment on me???

Thanks!

  • I dont think anything wrong is happening, its just your body is taking to the meds so fast, and i think thats amazing!! I wish i was growing that fast!

    Right now I am on Evanesce, 6 capsules a day and am noticing very slight changes. I am thinking about adding Estrofem or Feminol to my regimen soon, but right now, i cant afford it. I have only been on Evanesce for about 5 weeks now, and am noticing slight growth in my chest. Evanesce has more T blockers than Estrogen, but then again for most of us, this takes years to fully develope. For an elite few, like you, se significant changes in such short periods of time. Everyone's body is different, and will develope at its own pace. You will still want to talk to your doc about it, but i think its amazing!


    You go girl. Your blossoming! Be sure to post pics of your progress! Before and afters, if you may :)
