Hey girls and friends, I am 8 days on hrt and I feel like my skin is already softer ??? Is it even possible or am I just imagining it?

Nothing else seems to have changed.

    While some people are saying placebo, I think otherwise. I had softer skin after a few days and at about 7 days I woke up with breast buds and I know for sure that that was not placebo. Some people develop rather quickly, others take a while, and both are normal. I was an early bloomer with my first puberty, but I have no idea if that has any correlation with my second or if it’s just coincidence.

      The beauty with placebo is that it works even tho you know it’s placebo :p

          Oh I didn’t mean your breast buds; even if my feeling of softer skin is placebo, well, the effect is still that I feel like I have softer skin.

          But like you said, having effects in the first week is possible so it’s (my skin) probably not placebo in the first place
