Here are some of the physical changes that can occur during MTF hormone replacement therapy (HRT):
⦁ 1-3 months: Breast buds may start to develop.
⦁ 3-6 months: Breast growth may become more noticeable. Body fat may redistribute, with more fat being deposited in the hips, thighs, and buttocks.
⦁ 6-12 months: Breast growth may plateau. Skin may become softer and smoother. Body hair may start to thin.
⦁ 12-24 months: Breast growth may continue. Menstruation may stop.
⦁ 24+ months: Breast growth may reach its maximum potential. Other changes may continue, such as further redistribution of body fat and continued thinning of body hair.

It is important to note that everyone’s transition timeline is different, and these are just general guidelines. Some people may experience changes more quickly or slowly than others. It is also important to remember that HRT is not a magic bullet. It can help to feminize the body, but it will not completely erase all signs of being assigned male at birth.

If you are considering HRT, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits. HRT can have some side effects, such as mood swings, weight gain, and blood clots. It is important to be aware of these risks and to make sure that HRT is right for you.
