    When can I expect the increase in my emotional range now that I've got some estrogen flowing through me? Please don't tell me it depends like everything else 😭

      Screw you, I’m gonna say it: It depends. My emotions actually didn’t change much at all on estradiol, at least I didn’t notice any changes.

      Progesterone on the other hand hit me harder than an isekai manga truck in the first couple of months of taking it. Really made me an unstable, emotional mess and constantly made me question if I should just drop it. But I waited it out and everything is mostly fine now, luckily. doggirl-grin

      Certainly varies. For me, there wasn't that huge of a difference imo. Granted when I started, my E levels didn't go up that much. Once I got that fixed, I was a lot baseline happier though. When watching emotional shows, it affects me more. But like, day-to-day, there's not a huge difference afaik.
