    that’s definitely part of it, but sex hormones interact with* neurotransmitters and the mental/emotional stuff tends to hit first, before any physical effects take place.

      Not countering what you experienced, but sex hormones are not neurotransmitters. There may be some interactions with the neurotransmitter system but it they are not themselves.

      I think that part of it, for me at least, was that it felt like everything shifted and all of a sudden my brain was finally running right for the first time in my life. It’s like it was already wired to run on estrogen and I was finally giving it what it needed.
