  Yeah, in my little experience basically all of the effects of hormones are “in general” at best, both in timeline and actual effects.

  Personally my libido went up a little but unlike OOP it was very much present before too.

  Meanwhile the skin softening stuff took a week or so to be noticeable, when it definitely “should” take longer.

    My libido went down initially, but then came back. Being horny feels completely different though. Previously I didn’t really want sexual contact with anyone, masturbation was more than enough to satisfy me. Now, however, I don’t want to masturbate, I want someone to fucking breed me. It’s… fascinating but also frustrating at the same time as someone who’s single. I think it’s probably a mix of estrogen, progesterone (it didn’t really start coming back until I started prog), and being more comfortable in my body.

    As far as skin goes, it was literally 3~4 days. Literally took a shower, shaved my legs, and went “holy shit”.

    I also like the way that I smell far more than when I started. The smell of man sweat when it came from me was disgusting. Now I actually kinda like the way I smell.

    I definitely didn’t notice any changes in skin texture 'til around week 4 or 5, but the change in my body odor started on like day 6, way sooner than the general timeline would have sugested.

      The body is a hodge-podge of Rube Goldberg machines, and trans research is wayy underdeveloped. Method of delivery and absorbancy and a billion other things probably affect the effects.

      Out of curiosity, the skin changes were a huge boon to me (one that I didn’t expect to be so nice), so there’s a world where it was partially psychological. Was body odor a big dysphoria source for you?

        I’m a highly scent-oriented person so I was probably more sensitive to that change than most, but I didn’t realize it was a contributing factor to my dysphoria until that very moment. It’s not that I disliked my old scent, it just never smelled like “me”, y’know?
