Body Changes on HRT

I’ve been on HRT about 3.5 years now, but the first 2 years were on low dose oral and I wasn’t consistent about dosing while I figured things out. In fact I was pretty interested in minimal changes especially no breast growth for the first 2 years while I was trying on nonbinary vs trans femme.

January of 2025 I switched to injections and sometime between then and October 2025 I reached stable estradiol levels above 200 pg/ml and testosterone below 20 ng/dl.

In the last 8-12 months I’ve had significant feminization and I’m really happy about my progress. I’m hovering between a B & C cup, I’ve lost about 2 inches on my band size, an inch from my waist turned into 2 inches on my hips. I’m still a rectangle shape but it’s a feminine rectangle with curves. (38B, waist 34, hip 41, dress size 10/12). I’m also passing frequently but not consistently but that’s probably related to face/voice not body.

My questions are…
- how long before your arms shrunk, I don’t mind the extra upper body strength but I still have lots of definition and while I’m active I don’t work out.
- my legs are still really lean. They don’t have the thigh chub that most women have. As a result shorts don’t look right.
- this is wishful as my family women included all have flat asses but did you gain “junk in the trunk”

I’m 5’7” (171cm) & 160-170 lbs (72-77kg) BMI 25-27. So it’s not like I’m rail thin and just shouldn’t expect much “cushion.” At my weight I should have some thigh chub, but I still have an athletic male build with a little weight, more hour glass than most men, decent breasts, and muscles arms (at least for a woman).
While the correct answer is I probably just need more time it’s hard because technically I started 3.5 years ago but only reached good levels a year ago.

I think based on my weight and build I’m still carrying a lot of muscle weight. I keep meaning to do a body fat analysis but I’ve just never got around to it.

While the correct answer is I probably just need more time it’s hard because technically I started 3.5 years ago but only reached good levels a year ago. Now that I’ve decided this is what I want I’m a lot more impatient.
