Just A Dude

Finally got my T today. Apparently, the problem was that the pharmacy is under the impression that I can get 4 doses per vial and schedule accordingly. However, I’ve only ever been able to get 3, like my doctor said I would. The pharmacy wouldn’t take my word for it or course so I contacted PP and hopefully they can fix it so I’ll have enough doses to get me to three months.

- voice is changing for sure. I’ve had several people comment on that it sounds deeper. Also when I try to sing high notes, my voice cracks and it’s funny

- stomach hair is still growing in. My mustache growth has slowed but I haven’t lost any of it. And i think I’ve gotten a bit more hair on my arms and legs

- my arms seem more muscular

- crying is harder but still possible. I cry less now

No T shot today. I ran out because the vials only have three doses in them. And I cant get the prescription filled until next week. So I guess I’ll have to go without this week. I’ll probably bother the pharmacy and give planned parenthood a call to see if the prescription schedule can be modified to fit with my actual dosage schedule. If it seems like I’m calm, I’m very much not. I was quite upset and panicky this morning about this but there’s not much I can do.

That said there have been some changes:

- still super sweaty. Everything makes me sweat now

- mustache is coming in officially. New, dark hairs are growing on my upper lip. Also I have a singular line of fine, dark hair on my happy trail

Wow another week has flown by

- my mustache is definitely coming in! I already had long dark hair on the corners of my mouth but there are new dark hairs growing in above my lip

- I am also starting to grow hair on my stomach. No noticeable changes to the rest of my body hair though

- my friend has told me that my shoulders and face seem more defined and masculine. Idk if I can see it yet

Yesterday was officially one month on T!!!! I can’t believe it’s been a month already. Even though it’s just been a month, I feel like things are going so slowly. I just want to feel more comfortable already.

- I’ve noticed some mornings my voice is kinda husky. That fades after I talk for a bit but I take it as a good sign

- some days I’m super hungry. I am usually never hungry

4th shot!! A day late cause the pharmacy wouldn’t give me my T.

I seem to be more tired? Like just beat sometimes. One night, I passed out at 9:30 which never happens.

No changes with body hair, voice, or fat redistribution

Week two on T and my 3rd shot.

Changes I’ve seen:

- bottom growth has been happening. Has not been that noticeable but there has been a twinge of pain here and there. It was actually the first change I noticed!

- I seem to get hot more easily? It’s easier for me to get to the point of sweating and it happens more often than it should for it being winter lol

Im officially one week on T!! Today’s shot went way better. There was only a tiny bit of leakage so that’s good.

I took my first T shot today!!! I’m so excited. It was Sub Q and 0.25 ml. It was easier than I expected to stab myself but it seem like a lot leaked out when I was done. I’m kinda worried about that but the internet says it’s fine, just go slower.

What I’m looking forward to the most about T is a deeper voice, bottom growth and just looking and feeling more male/comfortable. Body hair is a plus too. I’ll be using this to track my transition, mostly for myself but I’m open to questions!

So a baseline:

- voice: pretty high, I sound like a girl 😭

- hair: some on my arms and legs. Slight growth on the corners of my mouth but nothing too noticeable

- mood: regular, mellow

- body: a bit to soft to be called lean, skinny, no muscle 🥲, normal smell, not sweaty
