#ftm progression

(9/14/16)

Not much has changed, at least not that I’ve noticed yet, but I have finally noticed some things other people already pointed out. Also, I got my T dose doubled so now I’m on 100mg injections every two weeks.

I’ve finally noticed the changes in my face. Less baby face, and I’ve been getting more sun so my freckles are showing. My eyebrows are darker, a little thicker. My hairline is changing, thinning a little near my temples.

My voice doesn’t sound much different to me, but it’s been cracking and a little rough sounding again so maybe it’ll change some more.

My skin is still pretty oily, and I’ve started getting acne. I never had acne when I was a teenager so I initially had some difficulty with it. It’s mostly on my forehead and around my mouth. When I stick to actually washing my face every morning it eases off a bit.

All of a sudden I noticed my hips are kind of less. Like there’s still more hip than I would prefer but they’re definitely a bit narrower than before.

A few days past two months, but whatever. A few more things have changed with me, things that I’ve noticed and that my family has noticed and pointed out to me.

My voice is a little different. It’s obviously not as deep as I want it to be, but it’s definitely changed a little bit in pitch. It hasn’t been cracking as much as it had before, but it does a lot in the mornings. Hopefully it’ll keep getting deeper.

I have noticeable arm and leg hair now. Before it was there, but mostly blonde and not really visible. It’s darkened and become a little bit thicker now, and there’s a few blonde hairs showing up on my knuckles. There’s the faint start of a trail of hair on my stomach. And I swear even though no one else really sees it, there’s the tiniest bit of blonde floof starting on my upper lip. It’s really there, honest!

My face has changed a little bit, though that might be partly because I’ve been out and about more, exercising a lot more than I used to. I’m not as miserable as I used to be, so I haven’t been hiding away in my room. I’ve actually lost 10 lbs since I started T. My sister said my body has changed enough to be noticeable. She said I seem lankier, my figure less curvy and more stick-straight.

Not much has happened in the muscle department yet, though I have dynamite leg muscles just from walking everywhere because I don’t have a car. If I actually focused and stuck with a workout plan I could probably have decent muscles eventually.

There have been some notable changes in my “downstairs area”, but I will not be going in to detail on that.

I’m not starving to death at any given moment anymore, but I am still surprised to find myself hungry. I used to be able to just eat maybe once a day and be fine, but now I’m sticking with the traditional three meals a day. If I don’t, I actually get really hungry.

My skin seems a little different, especially on my face and hands. It’s also still kind of oily, but not as bad as when I first started. I broke out a little bit on my forehead and around my mouth, but that’s going away. I’m still pretty sweaty, though that might be due to the weather here. I’ve been getting headaches on and off, but that could also be from stress.
