Logging Your Doses
In My Medications, you can:
- Add each medication with its dose, frequency, and administration route.
- Log each dose as you take it with a single tap.
- Set reminders so you never miss a dose.
- View your medication history to check adherence.
Consistent dose tracking helps you and your healthcare provider identify patterns and adjust treatment as needed.
Monitoring Blood Tests
Regular blood tests are essential on feminising HRT. Use My Health to:
- Log blood test results manually or connect with Medichecks for automatic import.
- Track key markers over time, including oestradiol, testosterone, prolactin, liver function, and more.
- View graphs for each marker with normal range indicators.
- Link test results to your healthcare providers.
Your provider will typically recommend blood tests every few months, especially during the first year.
What to Expect
Every person's experience is different, but feminising HRT commonly brings gradual changes over months and years:
- Skin softening — Often one of the earliest changes, noticeable within weeks to months.
- Breast development — Begins within the first few months and continues for several years.
- Fat redistribution — Gradual shift towards a more feminine pattern, typically over 1–3 years.
- Reduced body and facial hair — Hair becomes finer and lighter over time, though electrolysis or laser may still be needed.
- Emotional changes — Many people report a broader emotional range.
Tracking Physical Changes
Use My Photos to build a visual timeline of your transition. Regular photos help you see changes that happen too gradually to notice day-to-day. The before-and-after comparison tool makes it easy to see your progress.
You can also log body measurements in My Health to track physical changes numerically over time.
Tips for Success
- Be patient — Changes happen gradually. Give your body time.
- Stay consistent — Take medications as prescribed and keep up with blood tests.
- Communicate — Share your tracking data with your healthcare provider at appointments.
- Use reminders — Set up medication and appointment reminders in My Calendar.
