FTM: Scouting the Unknown

Month 9: March-April 3rd, 2006

Return to Hormones

Changes that I noticed this month:

Body hair: More hair is showing up on my chin and the side of my face. I've noticed more sprouting on my arms too.

Sex Drive: Lower than normal. I think this is due to the stress of being a new homeowner.

Voice: There has been a drop, listen by clicking month 9 on the hormone page.

Menses: no bleeding, but some cramping :(

Mood: My mood is pretty normal, but I've been feeling really tired lately.

Body fat/weight: I think my waist is elongating and my hips are getting smaller (yeah, finally)!

Muscle: My upper body seems a little more cut...not much, but a little.

I'm grateful for the connections that I have made over these past three years and for that I continue to educate and share my story with the understanding that the only transgender person I can truly and honestly represent is me. Everyone has different needs, everyone has different visions of who they are, and so I hope that you all continue to live as true to yourselves as possible, letting go of societal or even communal pressures.
