that’s definitely part of it, but sex hormones interact with* neurotransmitters and the mental/emotional stuff tends to hit first, before any physical effects take place.
I think that part of it, for me at least, was that it felt like everything shifted and all of a sudden my brain was finally running right for the first time in my life. It’s like it was already wired to run on estrogen and I was finally giving it what it needed.
You absolutely can get some emotional benefits from the first dose before the physical ones start. I felt much more calm and less heightened emotions after my first dose of T. A welcome change having dealt with PMDD for years.
Sounds like the euphoria could also be from feeling relief that you finally have access to it?

That aspect of it was most definitely present, indeed.
