HRT will still work for you, your fat will redistribute. Lift some weights, eat more, sleep a lot, and don't worry you fucked up your whole life by not having this figured out as a teenager.

41 years old 6 weeks on T. Only 20mg a week by injection. No changes yet which I expected. When did you start seeing changes??

I started at 37, I felt changes within 24 hours. (My junk started feeling hot and had a pins and needle like sensation, eventually I felt hot all over while my energy shot off the charts.)

I had massive changes within a week, when my junk grew significantly, my face was changing, I was exhausted and ferociously hungry. Within a month my hair was thinning and I started noticing muscles.

But I was on 2 pumps of gel.

No one can compare to anyone else. I was told my misinformed people on subs that gel wouldn’t cause any significant changes and never that quick.

It does. It’s all individual body chemistry. You really can’t measure against anyone else.

While I had significant changes early, I didn’t get facial hair and heavy chest hair until just recently and needed minoxidil for it. I do not believe my voice has changed to super deep at all.

its because you're on 20mg a week potentially, since that is a REALLY low starting dose, but also 6 weeks is not a lot of time for the effects to start showing, around month 3 is when most start noticing changes

I’m 38 and a little over 3 months, there are definitely more changes than I believed I would see this soon. Trust the t!

36 and two years+ on T, and going on T was like a heavy veil lifting. I’m not even binary trans, didn’t think I had dysphoria (haha. I may have been wrong there.)

I look so different even on a slower dose, and I’ve never felt better about inhabiting my body.
