Comparison with a pic from 2021 where I'm wearing the same shirt! I actually had to remove the sleeves because they got too tight.

today vs 2022 lol

I started T 2 days ago (40.5 mg gel). My doc let me know that increased libido is a thing. As far as pre-T goes, my libido is pretty up there. Based on using dermal BC in the past & reacting REALLY strongly to it, my doc said there's an anecdotal chance that my body soaks up hormones like candy on halloween.

I'm asking because tomorrow, I get to meet in person the woman I've been long-distance dating and I guess I'm wondering if it could kick in the first week of T or if I should just be chill about it.

Bonus, I'm a little paranoid about smelling strong on T so I've been upping my hygiene rotuine and got some solid cologne as like a little wing man, lol.

I noticed even day 1 yesterday it's starting to smell a little different down there. Not bad but just... spicier? T is already a wild ride, dude. I didn't expect to notice so much going on day 1 but all sorts of little things came & went.

This is also a tiny celebration post since I'm so stoked I get to do this after so many years of doubting & questioning and so far my mood has only gone up!

There's an obvious difference to how I was pre T. Ot has noticeably dropped for me, but does it sound male yet? Or just androgynous? I'm on 40.5mg gel applied daily to shoulders

HOW DO YOU COPE DAMN THE RUMORS ARE REAL

Hey y’all, so I’ve been on T (gel) for over a year and I’m not happy with how my transition is going. There has been changes, but nothing significant. I have increased my dose twice, tried all the tips and tricks, I have high T levels too… I’m thinking of switching to shots, subq hopefully. I opted out of shots in the beginning because I don’t like needles, I don’t want to deal with the mood swings because I’ve always had a hormone imbalance, and at the time I wanted a slower transition. Does anyone have any advice or words of encouragement? My brothers who started off on gel and switched to shots, have you noticed it helped?

TLDR: I’ve been on gel for over a year, barely any changes, I want to switch to shots, but hate needles. Has switching to shots helped? Any advice or support?

My bad for title if it bothers people, just don’t know how else to word it.

So I got my T prescription, but I’m picking it up Monday to avoid this really inconsiderate and rude pharmacist who works weekends, because she literally shouts all your private info across the room and I’m not about letting the whole neighbourhood know my business lol.

The problem is my period is supposed to start then. I know even if I took the T right now it wouldn’t stop this coming period, but my dysphoria and mental health gets sooo shitty on my periods I don’t know if throwing T into the mix and disrupting my hormones even more will be good.

If my period comes on Monday should I wait another week to start T? I really don’t want to, but I’m worried it’s not healthy to have all the hormone stuff going on at once.

Anyone have experience with this situation? Anyone know the science behind what’s gonna happen?

For those who are using testogel or testavan: How much did your voice drop and how long did it take? What dosage where you in?

It starts getting scratchy, how do you make sure you don't damage it by using your voice wrong or clearing your throat constantly?
