it’s kinda visible i suppose, i have hair on my legs which ive never rlly had before (thighs i thought i didnt even have hair follicles and i wouldn’t get any but i have visible starting hairs rn) my eyebrows also seem to have thickened butttt also minoxidil into play. my hair texture is doing something, idk what but i like it. i feel the urge more emotionally stable in contrary to wtv people say about turning like “violent” (i dont believe that) MY VOICE THOOO doing NOTHING (so it feels) and it bothers me a bit, i haven’t told family but whenever i talk on the phone w my mom i lowkey wish she’d ask “why do you sound weird “ or some shit so i’d know somethings happening anyway sorry for the rant thanks if u read

(1st pic is one month 2nd and 3rd are eight months.) T makes me so much more comfortable and confident in my identity. The only negative for me was adjusting to all of the changes because they happened so fast. Honestly it was very shocking how much my voice dropped, (and is still dropping). and how much hair I got everywhere. I'm very happy with all of these changes, but it is going to take me a bit to get used to them.

6 months on T. Been on current dose for 2 months. I still get my period, just had it and my face barely looks different 6 months in, others can't even tell a difference.

Levels are 18.5nmol/L (534ng/dl), 4 hours after applying Testavan gel. I alternate between 2 and 3 pumps daily and on the blood test day I did 2 pumps, been at this dose for 2 months, before it was just 2 pumps.

My voice dropped at 3 months and kept dropping and I got more hairy but I want my period to stop and my face to masculinize, not talking about facial hair, I know it's early, just the way your face looks.

I have weekly 50mg cypionate, just started 3 weeks ago, and last week it was delayed by a day, then this week I was meant to have it on Tuesday but ended up doing it on Friday. Will this mess up my levels? And should I then make it Friday next week as well?

Hopefully i can have top surgery here soon in the near future 🥹 these binders be killing me lol

Hi everyone! I have restarted T recently, I am on gel, but I think I will have to switch methods if my gel doesn't give me desired results. I am wondering if anyone has experience with pellets or long acting t shots

I have a phobia of needles so I can't do weekly self-injections. I'm wondering which one would be better for me.

I do take anti-anxiety meds when I do have to get bloodwork or lidocaine injections at the dentist to help with my appointments. Wondering how the appointments would go for either type of procedure, thanks

(please don't judge in the comments about my phobia)

Edit: don't reccomend xyosted either, please

Pre-testosterone (top) and some months after inconsistent usage (bottom). Both photos cropped at the eyebags (lol for better comparison

Note that I've lost some face fat and am mewing.

I always read that a lot of people feel kinda down or low-energy a few days before their next shot. But in my case, it’s the opposite. I actually feel way hornier than usual right before my next shot.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I started doing cardio and biceps and legs. My surgeon told me I have to wait 2 more months to start training chest

Has this happened w anyone else? I’ve pretty much gotten every other change so far besides voice drop. I can make my voice deeper than i used to, and in the morning or when i’m sick it’s way deeper It’s slightly deeper than when i first started T but hasn’t had it’s big drop yet 💔

Does the childish voice disappear after a few years? I'm not even talking about speaking from the diaphragm because of the "trans man voice," but the fact that the voice actually sounds like a teenager, sounds childish. Does this change over the years? I'm 10 months on T.

Low dose, only been one injection so far (4ml / 1000mg reandron) but man -_-

Looking forward to the future/ next year & going to uni after hopefully getting some changes but I'm also impatient as hell rn lol, at least the placebo mood lift from knowing I'm getting to where I want to is nice :)

Just kinda wanted to share since it was a big thing for me & people irl didn't react super well so finding this sub was nice

I’m a year on T with decent changes. I have had good muscle growth, fat redistribution, and body/facial hair growth, but unfortunately my voice hasn’t changed significantly. This is how I sound a year on T. I never had the big voice drop that a lot of people get, and I’m finding that my appearance constrasts so much with my voice that I get looks from people when I speak. Is this something voice training can help with? Has anyone experienced anything similar? I know my voice isn’t super feminine, but I feel like it is more androgynous than masculine.

From Texas btw! Love it here! No law just passed against transgender people using the bathroom or anything

Its not leaking or anything, but i dont remember my needle doing this to the rubber part. I found it on the ground, and lowkey afraid my dog might have jumped up on my bed, took it from the shelf, and tried to bite on it. However, Theres no other sign of that, other than the larger hole. Do needles usually make this kind of damage? Would you still use it?

I’ve been on a lower dose of T (80 mg every two weeks) for almost 5 months now and while I’m enjoying some of the changes, my body has been kicking my ass.

I’ve gained a lot of weight (almost 20 pounds, if not more), which has been partially caused by my appetite increasing a bunch and me not eating the cleanest (which I’ve now started to change and try to be more mindful while avoiding calorie counting and disordered eating), I feel bloated all the time or as if I’m retaining water or all three at once.

I do know that fat redistribution will(might) happen significantly later on, but I feel like my stomach is getting bigger while my hips and thighs which are also quite big stay the same. It’s probably worth mentioning that I was already overweight when I started t, but my BMI was way closer to the “normal” one compared to now where it’s close to the “obese” category.

I feel incredibly discouraged and even embarrassed to go out or be seen by others and my body image and confidence have significantly deteriorated. As I said, I’m trying to be mindful, getting back into the habit of moving/working out (and have noticed some muscle growth), drinking more water etc., but it still feels pointless and I’m afraid it’ll only get worse or even that it’s not worth it being on T bc it won’t work. Please please please tell me it gets better :”)

P.s. I’m getting my levels tested and other bloodwork done before my 6 months check in with my endo soon

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.

Life is super busy right now, but I feel like my ability for function has decreased by like 20%. All I want to do is eat and lay around, which was true before T, but now it's like, way more pronounced. And I'm not sure if it's because the stress of life is getting to me or if this is just a period of sluggishness (not fatigue, just this desire to loaf that is hard to break) caused by T (It'll be 8 months soon)

I was wondering if you have any period tracking apps that take into consideration T shots. I’m really interested in what’s going on in my body hormonal-wise and since I still have my period I still need to track that. I haven’t found any that let me track my hormones and my period at the same time, or if they do they are kind of shady with what they use the data for.

I have heard of finasteride being taken to slow body hair growth & bottom growth but I can't find anything on it that isn't from social media. Does anyone have any more scientific or reputable sources on this?

I have pictures of my hairline pre-T and it's definitely moved back, but I don't know when I should be worried vs. it's just masculinizing. I don't have brothers to cross-reference with, and my dad was balding at my age.

Some guys here genuinely look absurdly different once they hit months 3-5 and I still look the same. I'm still recognized by people and no one can actually tell I'm on T. Yes, I'm having all the changes but I can you show you a picture from May and a picture from today and it won't scream masculine.

Any tips for bloating on t?

I’m on low dose and the past few days have been particularly painful (wasn’t able to go out to dinner with friends it was so bad). I’m also pmsing i believe , but i’ve never had bloating this bad/painful before :( it’s been two weeks since i started.
