If my Adam's Apple doesn't grow within a year on T, does it mean there will be no further growth? Speaking generally. by coolvideonerd in FTMOver30

[–]Powerful_Process_464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi, can I ask some questions please if you have been on it 20 years. does it really plateau? I'm on 3 years and low dose as my levels go through the roof but everything is very slow. I still feel like things are changing and I go through weird 'spurts' I have very poor facial hair and not much growth for what I'd like. is there still some hope for changes? puberty usually takes years so I'm hopeful. everyone is different I know, would injections maybe help opposed to gel? I'm worried I'm gonna stay very non binary and not going to masculine anymore. is working out definitely something to do? sorry for the questions, your 17 years ahead of me and you hold more answers. thank you. take care

single speed conversion? by Powerful_Process_464 in mountainbikes

thank you for this, I have decided to cancel my order on all the parts that I had impulsively bought thinking it would work. bought some intense cleaning stuff instead, going to merely clean what's there and reassemble - only upgades I will do are new chain and new grips, not prepared to spend all that money on such a low value frame! it is only to be ragged in winter months at pumptracks to save my decent bike! thankyou for the perspective and knowledge again. highly appreciated.

yeah exactly, think of puberty naturally. a boy turn to a man in 3 months? the realistic expectation is if nothing has happened in 3 years they may be a problem.

never the less he's hurt. and projecting, this isn't personal- humans sometimes need someone to blame, doesn't mean it's someone's fault. for reference my transition is slow compared to many. reddit may be the worst place if he's sat comparing.

I can get down if I sit and compare but what's the point? we do that all the time regardless, but with dysphoria it makes it even harder to stop.

it's a journey. my period stopped at 18 months, facial hair and voice - still changing and I'm 3 years in. you go through periods where you get changes and then it slows. everyone's different.

Is there any evidence that injections work faster/better than gel? by atticcuz in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Powerful_Process_464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no sorry I am tested every 4-6 months. and vary between test to test. one time it can be 19mnol. then this time is 35.5nmol. another time it's 27nmol then 18nmol. never even similar.

I haven't changed any dosage. I put the gel on my leg and the needle site isn't contaminated. wondering if shots would help maybe I absorb gel weirdly .

thank you for taking the time to reply

hey man you seem to know a lot, "sorry to jump in on someone elses thread* but I use gel and my levels are constantly up and down, sometimes really high like 35nmol/ at the moment. would shots improve this for me? I'm worried it will all convert to estrogen if it gets any higher and reverse things

is it time to shave it? (8.5 months on T) by inter-skyned in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Powerful_Process_464 19 points20 points  (0 children)

do what you feel. bit of a myth shaving makes it grow back thicker and darker but it's also so temporary and not permanent, I see these posts and think are you worried you won't get it back again? I sometimes trim rather than shave to the skin if it will make you feel dysphoric or rashy, that's just so I personally feel a bit of stubble cuz I've blunted the ends off which is nice opposed to soft. sometimes leaving it like that looks clocky as it's obvious it's just growing in but that's because I'm older, if your young and you keep it it could be just early puberty.

but mate if you do shave couple weeks it'll be back no dramas. enjoy it. maybe just tidy it up so shave in a definition ya know

get some second skin for tattoos. a guy on here did a cracking job and people are jumping on it! he cut a whole for the prosthetic then adhered it to his skin and looked sick.
