It's going great.

I'm at 4 and a half months HRT now and recently had my first control appointment where I'm currently waiting on the results being sent to me. The boobs are growing and my body hair is growing slower (I think). Much of my facial hair is gone after 6 laser sessions Although I probably still have 6 more laser sessions before me and a bit of electrolysis after because of my many grey hairs. I'm not sure but I also think I can see the first changes in my face but it's difficult to say.

I recently bought my first girl t-shirts and shorts and wore them out in public and it felt great. I'm also glad that sometimes I fit in women's size L clothes depending on how they are cut. I'm also getting better at eye makeup, eyeliner especially.
