Just started HRT

Hi everyone,

I just started HRT (4) days ago, and i dont know if its placebo but i feel like my skin looks better, like i look prettier. my stomach hurts and i have more tmi gas.

This might be in my head ( probably) but i wanted to know what to expect from HRT short and long term?

I wanted to hear from people who actually went through this and not just bullet points online

Thanks wish you all the best

NSV: cut my excessive Coffee habit

I have been on a health journey and part of it is fixing my excessiveness in many things, coffee being one of them prior to starting Mounjaro i would have around 5-6 shots of espresso ( and some tea, and other caffeinated drinks and snacks) daily which caused my feet to swell. And i never knew what caused the swelling. ( keeping in mind everything was sugar free) after limited my coffee to 1 a day so around 3 shots, that helped in removing the swelling from my feet. But i was abusing caffeine overall, happy to report i am not so heavily dependent i love coffee and would have it regularly but in a healthy manner
