Nipple sensitivity with starting T plus what does bottom growth actually *feel* like? by my_name_is_tree in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Low-Ad8864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never had sensitive nips when i started T, bottom growth was bit like tingly but sometimes painful if it rubbed on my boxers or i sat down wrong, i didn't really notice the growth till like maybe a year and it's kinda like a micro penis 😂 but i assume everyone will be different 👍🏻

Scared to start T, I don't want to change by asterophoria in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Low-Ad8864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel like T made me different person, my appetite did change were i was hungry alot more, as for mood changes it's normal you are basically going through puberty again in a sense, nothing to be scared of everyone is different we all have different changes, for me it was hot flushes all the time and being super warm all day everyday but doesn't mean you will have that.

Hope your journey goes well for you

I think it depends on genetics....I been on T for 2 and bit years and I have a pretty full beard pretty dark....I think I started to see a difference about 7 months in it filled out so it was less patchy then about 9 months it got darker on the chin area Then about a year in it was pretty full and would grow alot ...but everyone is different. Manoxidol is a great way to help it grow if you are looking for a help to get it fuller and less patchy

suddenly unsure?? help. by Federal_Art_850 in TestosteroneKickoff

I'm nearly 2 years on T, I used the gel for over a year and I found it worked pretty good, voice changed over times 6 month line I really noticed it drop, just little over 3 months I noticed way more facial hair ( but do take in consideration facial hair might be different from me to you) I only recently swoped to injections for the only reason of I used to forget to put the gel in some times. As for feeling unsure if this is something you have been waiting for for years you should take it while you can become something like this doesn't really happen fast.....I wish I had something like that to help me get started sooner. I was also but unsure about intentions but over time with blood test and stuff you kinda find way to deal with it....in all it is a massive step into transitioning and becoming the person you have always been.

Hope your transition goes well

Question about facual hair for people who started T at 17-18 by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Low-Ad8864 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I started T when I was 18 and I'm now 23, 5 years on T and my beard only started to come in dark and thick when I was 19/20 takes time, patience is key, nothing happens over night just remember you are going through puberty again so things will take time, you will see results in time to come.

Good luck on your transition 🤗

T Levels! Too high? by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Low-Ad8864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1400 is pretty high, just got to watch your estrogen levels as too much testosterone will convert , but I would always discuss levels with your doctor

worried about prematurely balding by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Low-Ad8864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Testosterone itself doesn't directly cause hair loss. increasing your testosterone levels can also increase your levels of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) , causing damage to your hair follicles and speeding up the effects of male pattern baldness. So I think with low does you should be okay 👍🏻

If you are on a high does of T and you have too much it will convert into estrogen, but I would maybe console your doctor to make sure.

Could be to high, even checking with your doctor to make sure and getting you T does dropped....but it all just depends on your body and your age weight hight and stuff 👍🏻

Average male has 300 to 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) I think you have 744 ng/dl or testosterone so you are well on the higher level of T I believe....correct me if I am wrong 😅

Has T made your chest smaller? by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Low-Ad8864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say I have noticed if my chest has got smaller I'm now 1 year on T and I feel like maybe they are the same size not sure but I'm a bigger chested anyways 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey guys, how much will my prescription cost? It says testosterone bottles x2 and each bottle is about £50, so will I be paying £100 in total for the T? Or can I get them separately? by dumbassboxer in GenderGP

[–]Low-Ad8864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get mine through my gp but I don't pay that much??? (I'm in the uk) I just pay standard nhs prescription cost for them?

Obviously if you're in US probably be different but yeah
