Hi

I understand that the redistribution of body fat to a more feminine type takes a long time when on hormones. Would it happen quicker if I were to loose lots of weight then deliberately put it back on? Would it go back using the feminine model?

I don't know any answers but I did read that some people got stretch marks on their hips and bum - and stretch marks come from the skin being strecthed too quickly.... I was going to ask my doctor about this when it got to that stage to see if I can start on an initially lower dose. As much as I want to be female as fast as possible, I'd rather it was slightly slower and done right

As I said I have no real world knowledge/experience yet.

It took about 6 months of HRT for me to notice any real difference. Same as GQ though, I ended up with stretch marks

I look back at most of my life and think "WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?!??"

My arse went through the seat of my lads' undies after only two months. My boobs had grown inside six months. Depends on the individual, I guess.

I'm just under a year in now and have had a fair bit of change, but I dont eat very well so would likely have been more had I dont so. As was mentioned before, I have a few stretch marks, but I think most of them are from before hormones as my actual body shape and fat distribution (aside from boobs) has always been pretty femme for some reason.

I had noticeable effects after less than 4 months (I've taken progress shots every few months on my gallery @ mahkato.deviantart.com if you'd like to see) and now after almost a year I'm certainly budding. I started on AAs just a few months back after being on estrogen since December '06 and since starting AAs I think my body changes have sped up, but I'll wait another couple of months to see that Oh, and I'll try to eat, thats always a good thing to do

Whatever you do, I hope you are happy with the results
