First day on t!

i think the last one of these i made was at four months... please know that i intended to make one literally every month after that one but i kept putting it off so here we are. changes noticed:

i have so much more hair. bless. specifically:

lots of hair on the back of my thighs. the rest of my legs have seen more hair growth as well but the thighs have had the most in that area

my ass is really hairy now 👍

i have some??? stomach hair. it's defintely way more than before i started t. it's mostly happy trail and happy trail adjacent. as well as the two spots where i do my injections? idk if that's coincidence or not but it's cool until i need to take off the bandage i put over my shot and it rips out a ton of my hair

chest hair!! im gonna be honest this one kind of crept up on my, like i didn't notice it until i already had it? mostly in the dead center of my chest

some random hairs coming in on my chest and back.. my father has very hairy back and shoulders so i will hope to follow in his footsteps

facial hair! i have to shave minimum once a week now, usually every two-three days if i want to look properly clean shaven. goes from my sideburns all the way down my chin now! fairly even covering, but not very close together or anything yet :( also have increased mustache hair as well but i think that grows a lot slower than the rest of it. i haven't tried to properly grow it out bc it's still too sparse + having longer facial hair and wearing a mask turns into sensory hell by like hour two :(

bottom growth!! very excited by it. this one is a little more personal for me so if we're mutuals and you want to hear more feel free to dm me

voice changes. this was like the most important thing for me wrt to starting t, because my voice was what gave me away the worst/prevented my from passing, at least from what i could tell. my voice has dropped a lot. my friends who i haven't seen since starting t are all shocked by it which is funny and a little embarrassing. it's been a while since i actively cringed at the sound of my voice so that's a big win

and my least favorite: acne :((( i have a lot of acne now, mostly along my jawline/where my facial hair is, which makes shaving absolutely suck sometimes. also stubble + acne (and especially + mask) is such an evil sensory experience. i've also got some on my chest, shoulders, and upper back. i've never really had acne before so this was a big change. i really hate the acne it makes me feel very ugly but it is ultimately worth it. also im always picking at it :|

the last update post i did was for two months on t but it was actually two and a half but whatever

my voice has settled a bit!! experiencing less voice cracks and also it's so deep i've never been so happy in my life. i don't flinch when i talk or have to consciously lower my voice or anything FUCK some days i love living

acne is still bad. worst is on my chest and my shoulders. also have some on my back and along my hairline? on my cheeks too but that is generally where i had acne before starting t. back and shoulders are new from last update post

more thigh hair ESPECIALLY on the backs of my thighs yippee

the infamous ass hair exponential growth rate

maybe??? sideburn growth???

also my period has kind of stopped (didn't have it at all in november and then just a little bit in december? it lasted the usual length but i wasn't bleeding heavily enough to need any menstrual products, it was like only a thing when i had to piss)
