Hello, I'm planning to contact my General Doctor for Hormone Therapy from Male to Female aka wanna totally feminize my body especially wanna real, even it's small, female breasts. I searched all information in English before decision cause no real information in my Language aka Lithuanian, but in the end all information is General and other people videos of they experience for that are from start age of 18 or younger, but I'm a bit over 28,5 years old and didn't found any information about similar age period start as mine. So wanna ask will I get all effects I read generally and under same general amount of time for them especially breasts? PS: it's not sudden decision, but it took me a bit over 15 years to beat my fears and accept who I'm. Can we use depilatory strips on beard and moustche after using hair clipper to shorten it to maximum amount before that or any kind of depilation is not recommend for beard and moustche at all? If yes, then how painful it is at first couple of times? Thank you in advance for answers!

Thank you, but still that doesn't answer any questions I asked in this thread. One is about: what body changes I should expect as I will start a bit over 28,6 years old aka will I still get all changes to happen in usual general speed like most of people who started at 18 years old or even much younger? Can we use depilatory strips on beard and moustche after using hair clipper to shorten it to maximum amount before that or any kind of depilation is not recommend for beard and moustche at all? If yes, then how painful it is at first couple of times?

Hi there, unfortunately I have no lived experience of transitioning and I am not sure about depilatory strips but depending on if you are based in the UK I would say from what my Trans friends have told me is often GP's do not always have enough knowledge so they have previously contacted Clint Q (In the UK) cliniq.org.uk/ CliniQ - who offer a holistic sexual health, mental health and wellbeing service for all trans people, partners and friends. They are a trans-led team, who offer a safe, confidential space for those who may not feel comfortable accessing mainstream services. Clini Q - do a in-person clinic on Tuesdays, all information is on their website and it's free. cliniq.org.uk/www-cliniq-org-uk/Are you able to speak to a specialist there? Or are there any Trans feminine groups on Facebook? Please let us know how you get on

Hello, to my knowledge you should experience all the effects of hormone therapy at any age you start, speed wise will depend on what dosage your doctor advises after your blood work is done. I'm FTM and started testosterone at 25 and have/are experiencing all the effects my younger counter parts did. Like my fellow Moderator said above, CliniQ really do offer amazing advice and services and helped me in my transition journey at the beginning massively. I would recommend contacting them with your questions as they will be able to give you full clarity. I've looked into the Depilatory Strips, you can get face specific wax strips, I'm afraid waxing of any kind will hurt a bit, however if you get a cooling face cream for after then that will fade quickly. Id recommend looking into threading or laser hair removal which many salons offer, however I know finding an inclusive one where you will be comfortable can be difficult. this is one I've found which looks to be inclusive and has several locations londonpremierlaser.co.uk/treatments/laser-hair-removal-transgender/ I hope this helps and do let us know how you get on!
