When I first started taking my patches I had a tingly feeling where the patch was applied and in the rest of my body (but not as strong). Now about one and a half years later I don't get that feeling anymore (still on patches).

Yeah I know that it takes time and also that the growth comes in spurts sometimes.
Thank you so much! And don’t get discouraged, everyone progresses differently and waiting is certainly the most difficult part of this whole process. Currently I wish my breasts would develop a little faster but alas I can’t do anything about it but wait.
So happy for you! 😄 it’s a big step
I can recommend patches. I’ve been very happy with them although I do recommend to also apply something like tegaderm over them so they don’t fall off as easily it also helps to not notice them as much on your skin.
Very happy for you! ♥️
Thank you. This is really helpful feedback! ♥️
Thank you! ♥️
I mostly practiced with the whisper siren exercise: https://youtu.be/F6Noi2qERus
I practiced that every time I found space in my day and then I also practiced by just reading aloud for myself (news articles mostly) and recorded that with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DevExtras.VoiceTools which helped me get the pitch down although the female and male ranges can be misleading since my mum for example goes into the male range sometimes and is mostly in the lower female range and also in the androgynous range of pitch.
But getting the resonance down with the whisper siren exercise is the most important thing.
The hardest part for me so far was actually using my voice in front of another person though. My mum is the only person so far that has heard my new voice in person 😅
Edit: this all happened over the course of almost a year with multi month breaks in between because I got a bit discouraged without real feedback from other people and I didn't take any voice lessons from professionals.
Thank you so much! It's so weird to me because when I listen to myself it sounds so unfeminine. I'm almost crying from your comment 😭
Thank you so much! ☺️
I was surprised by how much I've changed in the last month. And in this photo I look so different compared to when I look in the mirror.
Right now I'm at 11 months HRT and had 12 laser hair removal sessions. I'm 32 years old and you can check out my profile for any previous progress pics.
It's been a bit over a year since I last shared my transition progress on here so I thought I want to update you all.
Here is my last post: https://phtn.app/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/7781431
Forgot to add:
- first pic is 0 laser sessions
- second pic is 6 laser sessions
- third pic is 9 laser sessions
Androcur 10mg (which contains cyproteronacetate) is being discontinued by Bayer because it isn't economical for them to produce anymore. I hate it. It's the anti androgen that's pretty much the standard for feminizing hormone therapy here in Germany and I believe even in Europe.
Edit: here is the email in German that they sent me after I asked them through their contact form: 
I have finally started HRT and applied the first patch yesterday evening but I'm wondering if the place and how I've applied is good enough/fine like this? Just want to make sure I've done everything right and don't want to find out in 3 months that I've been screwing this up the whole time.

Just wanted to show my progess after coming out pre everything + bonus cat picture

When you do it the first time your hair is still very thick and it will hurt more. The more you do it the less it will hurt because the regrowing hair won't be as thick (because they didn't have as much time to grow) and it won't hurt as much. Long story short: just keep doing it in regular intervals (2-3 weeks) and you will get used to it.
