At what point after starting HRT do such cramps or PMS symptoms actually appear if they are to appear? About right away? Or after half a year? Or when?
For me it started about half a year in, which was around which my estradiol levels hit above 175 pmol/L mark. (Too low still, but there’s that).
Now my levels are at cis levels. I could probably have achieved those quickier had I straightaway started with anything but spray, but oh well.
Someone else whom (I think) didn’t do spray, also got it 180 days in. So there’s that. Maybe it depends on how long exposure has been to higher levels of estradiol.
Currently, I’m trying to keep my levels stable. Once the next blood test (which I plan in a month or so) shows they stay at 400-800 range, I will start varying to simulate periods.
To see whether that makes the boobs and hips grow faster. I feel like they grow in ‘jumps’, so maybe I can improve that by having the body undergo these as well.
I mostly get emotional disregulation rather than pain, so it’s kinda hard to tell when that started. I do remember noticing it within the first couple months, but milage always varies

Why do you want to simulate periods?
