How do you do, fellow ladies?
If all goes as planned, I’ll be starting HRT in just a few weeks (😁). Does anyone have any practical tips on things to do or procure in advance? So far, all I’ve managed to deduce from wandering the internet is:
- cryopreservation of sperm
- find and secure a bralette that fits comfortably, by the time things get tender
- stock up on pickles
Anything else I’ll likely be happy to have prepped in advance?
Note: flagged this as NSFW to encourage open conversation, and in case mere mention of sperm warrants it.
Plan an exercise regime, if you don’t have one already! Of course every transition is a little different, but from what I’ve seen weight gain can be common.
It also has another benefit: as you become estrogenized fat gained will be distributed differently, so a good diet and exercise plan can help work off any fat in boy places ready to become the new, beautiful, feminine you! ❤️❤️
I like the sound of that! It’s definitely on my list of priorities, but I haven’t managed to start yet. Do you have any suggestions on the nature of the exercise? I struggle with energy and motivation, so keeping it simple and easy to implement is paramount. Planning to start simple with walking and stairs, then if/when I feel up to it, branch out into something basic like dumbbells or maybe novice yoga if that’s safe to do without an instructor.
All you need to start with is something that gets your heart rate up and gets you breathing hard for 30 - 40 mins per day!
I am fortunate enough to be in a position to buy an exercise bike and a rowing machine, so I alternate between the two, find a tv show with long episodes and watch one per day as I exercise.
