So I’m wondering if I might have klinefelter’s (XXY chromosomes) or if I’m just very receptive to estrogen because the effects of HRT happened to me way faster than I’ve heard other people say it happened to them.

I’ve seen charts like these and I am a bit dubious of them because my timeline doesn’t match up at all.

I don’t know if my experience is actually normal or not, but when I started estrogen about a little over a year ago, it only took a few days for me to notice my skin being softer, and then literally the next day I woke up with breast buds and about 2 to 3 weeks later I had noticeable breasts that were big enough that it was difficult for me to boymode at work. I’m pretty sure I got to Tanner stage 3 in like half the time that’s expected.

From what I’ve heard from others is that they didn’t get breast buds until at least 3 months in and that made me question why mine happened so quickly.

I’ve also always been pathetically weak and it’s also always been difficult for me to gain muscle. Which makes me think I had low testosterone even before I started spiro. I remember when I had my 3 month follow up, my t was at 89 ng/dL and I remember my doctor commenting that that was lower than he expected, although I have zero idea if that is actually lower than normal for 3 months on 100mg spiro.

I’m curious if any of you also experienced a similar timeline to me, or if your timeline fits the charts that I’ve seen. I know my timeline is quite fast and that it might be hard to believe (idk if my experience is normal or not), but I swear it is my genuine experience with HRT.

    Thanks for the reply. I always assumed that because it showed a range it was the earliest possible start time to the latest end time for some reason, but yeah it makes more sense that they are averaged and very general.
