HRT diary (ftm, tetosterone)
I am beginning this at 6 weeks, 2 days on HRT, age 20 (7th June 2026). Currently on testogel and planning to switch to subcutaneous injection in August.
Firstly, I have never been happier in my life. It only took applying the first dose for the future to become real again, instead of being something I watch through a haze of dissociation as my body marches further and further away from who I am meant to be.
Within the first week I noticed an increase in genital sensitivity and horniness, and within the first 2 weeks I saw an increase in hair growth on my arms and legs. I had virtually NO body hair prior to HRT and I have black hair so just a little change was very noticeable to me!
At roughly a month I even noticed that the hair on my face is thicker and just slightly darkening on my upper lip, which I definitely did not expect. The excitement was overwhelming. My skin is noticeably more porous, and I am sweating BUCKETS. I now understand why pubescent boys wear so much aftershave. Additionally, my voice naturally wants to sit lower in my chest, rather than my throat, although I haven't noticed any breaking or deepening in the pitch itself.
6 weeks in, not a lot of new changes but slow progress in the ones I'm already seeing. Significant growth down below (the tip is SENSITIVE, and it really is growing into your foreskin. You have to clean down there!!!). Also my skin is breaking out, but this time I'm also getting spots on my back and chest - during my original puberty I only ever had them on my face. Not something I hugely care about, luckily. I also noticed that my breasts have shrunken a little.
Frankly, the best change has really just been having hope for life again. I finally want to live!
