I been on mtf hrt  estradiol and spironolactone or 2 years in July.  I love the changes i received so far. My breast are getting bigger and the bulge in my pants is getting smaller. I feel better emotionally. I have not socially transition and I am fine with that and my gf iikes the changes as well.

I still not out to others yet and am happy with presenting as a male to other and have no really plans to transition full time Curious if others have felt like me or been in a similar situation and how long did you keep it from others before they started to notice.

@liketodress2 Congratulations on you two year journey.  It appears you are doing what is best for you, and that is what counts.  I am just starting on HRT, but my journey will be similar to yours.  Continue feminine growth.

@liketodress2 Firstly congratulations on 2 years of progress. I'm curious though, why go through all the hassle of getting hrt & then hide it from everyone? I get the emotional stability thing but if I was in the fortunate position of having access to meds then I would be revelling in it as much as I could.

@sashabennett I understand why others would question my motives but 

I am happy with the changes  i recieved form the HRT the last 2 years While i am not out fully but I love the changes that I have made the last 2 years.  I am  happy to just live the way I am now.  I never really ever been able to grow a beard very well or much body hair.  Most of my body hair is now gone. NO hair on my legs and I dont shave.  I have some breast development to ware they are showing somewhat depending on what shirts I wear. 

While i may not go full time i am happy mentally and emotionally. Best I have  been in 40 years Some may call me weird or  judge me for not going full time. I need to do what is best for me and my family and if it ends up not living as a femalel full time I am content with that right now. 

I talked to my doctor, and she is in support of me do a lower dose of estradiol. It took me 40 years to get ware I am now. IN 5 years maybe i still presenting as I do. OR maybe Ill be living as  female.

@liketodress2 Goodness, I hope I didn't come across wrong here. I am in no way questioning your motives I was just interested by your approach. Obviously it's entirely up to you whether you want to go full time & I'm happy that you have got to an equilibrium. Compared to where I am you are already living the dream. Maybe one day I can too.

@liketodress2 I’m not as far along on my journey but I’m doing exactly the same thing as you. I’m very envious that your gf is board though, my wife is the total opposite.

Interesting. When I decided to come out, it was more of an explosion rather than a wimper. The last vestige of maleness disappeared within 2 years and it was only because i was a Snr Manager of over 30 staff and i was afraid of the ramifications. So i took them all out for lunch and announced my transness. That was met with numerous BS comments but non the less, two weeks of leave followed by a return to work as "me" convinced them.

A lifetime of suppression, fear, hiding and guilt meant i would never be satisfied with half measures. I'm not saying what you are doing is wrong. Just that I couldn't do that. The woman in me was strong and fighting to come out in all ways possible.

First, congratulations of being on Hrt for a couple years now. We all are unique and their is no set schedule you have to keep on your journey. Your path to happiness is your own. Some jump in full speed ahead and others might go slower or even pause for a bit. Plenty of factors effect how you move forward. So enjoy your journey and don't let anyone influence your path to happiness. 

Hugs 

Kimberly

Erin, thank you for sharing your experience. I am so torn between wanting to just simply be me and, not wanting to put my family through the transition that they wouldn't have asked for not perhaps want to face. And as I see it, like it or not if one is married and has children everyone is forced to a certain degree to transition with the transitioner. 

But your story gives me hope that just perhaps, between what the hormones could do to my body and my mind & emotions on a low dose level maybe just maybe I could bridge the gulf adequately finding a modicum of peace between who I am and who I have to be for others. 

Hugs,

Charlene
