So a lot of the changes that are introduced by taking estrogen sound pretty cool. Kinda goes without saying in this community, but I’ll say it anyway, and you can’t stop me.
- Softer skin (fuck yeah)
- Bodyhair growing thinner (fuck yeah)
- New bodyfat gets placed where other women have it too (actual shape-shifting, how cool is that)
- Reduction in testicular volume (does that mean they won’t be in the way all the time anymore? Sounds great, actually. Fuckers only exist to get squished when I want to sleep on my side. Absolute design flaw.)
What I’m not quite understanding yet is the effects on muscle mass.
Do you lose existing muscle mass?
Do you decrease the potential for future muscle growth?
Or is it both, even?
Either way, I guess I’ll shift more focus to lower-body excercises to counter-act my shoulders. The Glutes are by far some of the most important muscles in the history of humankind, after all.
So anyway, I hope you’re all doing good, and have a nice weekend
My changes have been happening really fast for some reason. I even had breast growth on week one and they are now a lot larger than what I’ve seen other people have at four months. When I did my first follow up, my doctor said my E levels were a lot higher than expected for the time I had been on it so idk what is up with me.
