Here is the beginning of a series of blog posts where I shall document my experience on male-to-female hormone replacement therapy. I started today with 70mg ethinyl estradiol, taken orally, however, for subsequent days I shall be taking 35mg daily. Today I experienced 3 things: * Slightly better body odor * Testicular Pain * Breast Pain For the first one, I found my body odor to be less pungent than prior to taking the hormones. For the latter two, I am not sure how early people usually start feeling pain in these areas, it may well be the placebo effect.
