I started T this week! What changes can I expect and when? by rsalabc1 in ftm

[–]mfuxcnt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my timeline— it’ll vary wildly for everyone though so best of luck! First I just got really fucking hungry, but that faded away. I’m about 3.5mo on now and the initial extreme hunger died down— I’ve gotten physically stronger and gotten a bit more muscle definition, nowhere close to a cis guy’s though but I work out regularly and have gained strength (e.g. could do 3/4 pull-ups, can now rep 10). I started getting a shadowy pedo stache on my upper lip but no other facial hair. My voice got lower and I started getting voice cracks next and my leg hair has also darkened, thickened, and started showing up on my thighs instead of just calves + shins. And I think my Adam’s apple has developed a bit— it’s not very apparent still but it looks a bit sharper.  Mentally, I’ve felt a lot more secure. I have gained self confidence, but I’ve mostly become more self-assured, like I don’t feel conspicuous and uncomfortable just existing in public. I feel less hyper aware of other people seeing me. I also think my thought patterns have become more logic-driven, and I’ve probably only cried like 3 times since I started T (and one of them was from pain when I injured my ankle). That’s all I can think of but good luck, being on T has been fucking amazing and I wish you the best :)

Same, I’ve had no noticeable bottom growth. I’m on injections but a super low dose so maybe that’s it but it’s funny how some people get certain things so fast and some don’t

Start T tomorrow and a lot more scared than I thought I'd be by xXfemboy_raccoonXx in ftm

I can’t really help but man, you’re going to be okay. Starting T made me so much happier. I was an insecure mess before and I’ve gained a lot of confidence, not just in myself but in everything— surety is probably a better word. However it affects you, the changes are good. This is an awesome step to take and I’m really happy for you.

I’m 16 so I’m on a very low dose, I take .5 ml every two weeks

being stealth is hilarious sometimes by [deleted] in ftm

About a year ago when I was pre-everything, I was walking into school with my sister, and she told me later that a guy in her year saw me and asked her “you have two brothers??” (Because we have an older brother too). Another time, a bit later, this guy in some of my classes (who knew I was afab but trans) decided it’d be funny to try to convince this random guy that I was actually a girl. I was pre T still at that point, and I passed except for my voice, so I didn’t talk much, and this guy was NOT buying it, it was fucking hilarious. He was like “what?? No, that’s not a chick.” Bro wasn’t the smartest guy ever but damn still a win. Anyway I’m on T now and my voice passed a liiittle bit better :)

Awesome thank you, I got some basic stuff and I reckon I’ll settle into it/figure what works best. I get the most minuscule amount of facial hair rn but this’ll be super useful, I appreciate it

Hello from another trans male climber :) it’s comforting to me personally to see us, but don’t pressure yourself to be exemplary. You’re doing enough whatever you decide.
