The hopeful wait

(0 reviews)

The routine of pill taking has set in - decided to take the Estradiol Valerate sublingualy to improve the absorption rate, it takes about 10 minutes for it to dissolve under my tongue.

Around 5 days after I had the Zoladex injected into my tummy, I started to experience quite strong tingles in my fingers (more so the right hand), like pins and needles. a couple of nights it actually work me up. Around day 8 that started subsiding and now on day 10 I have no tingles anymore.

I wasn't too worried about the side effect as its a quite common one and seems to do with the 'flare up' of testosterone that occurs when you first take a gonadorelin (LHRH) analogue, the body seems fight it for a couple of weeks. Seems my body lost the battle ;-) tee he he!!!!

Now comes the long hopeful wait for the 1st signs of change, I really don't expect to see anything happening for another 4 to 5 weeks but that doesn't stop you looking, tweaking, feeling for that tiny 1st bit.

Hugs and kisses - hopefully yours!!!

:)

    The tingly fingers have popped back a couple of times (mainly overnight) but nowhere near as bad as the 1st round.

    I have a natural A cup and pretty big nipples which are very female in look and proportion. Yesterday I was asked how long I had been on hormones and they were surprised when I replied 11 days! Apparently I have a sort of boobs that are like a trans-woman who has already done 6+ months.

    I can only hope this bodes well for when the hormones do kick in.

    Hugs

    Hi Rebbeca,

    I'm not familiar with the femtofem programme but from what I've read up on none of the herbal pills actually do anything useful in the way of feminisation. I'm happy to have waited for the real HRT pills which are the closest thing to real estrogen.

    Are you under medical supervision as I'm sure they would be advising you not to take the herbal pills.

    Hugs

    Caroline
