It is now official. I am now officially on T. Feel free to check out my LJ for my initial reactions. Starting in 1 week, I'll be updating this with any changes. This is the part where it gets exciting.
5/26/05--1 week update
So far I haven't noticed a whole lot of changes. Not that I really expected to yet. A guy can hope though.
Voice: Hard to tell right now. I have a rather deep voice (for a bio-female that is) to begin with, and it doesn't seem a whole lot lower yet. It does seem a bit more even however.
Face: No noticable difference in facial structure or hair. I have noticed a bit more oil in my problem areas (nose, chin, forehead), and more whiteheads on the corners of my mouth. I'm hoping more attention to cleaning of the face will keep that nonsense under control.
Body: No real changes in shape or hair here either. I may have sprouted a few new chest hairs, or they may have been there to begin with and I just didn't notice them before. My muscles seem a bit firmer, but not any bigger.
Libido: No real change. My sex drive isn't any more pronounced as yet.
Cock: Hard to tell. Pun not intended. It may be a bit bigger. I have noticed that it does get harder when I'm aroused, and I get off harder. (TMI?)
Appetite/Energy: No real changes in appetite. Then again, I've always eaten like a horse. I have noticed a change in my energy level though. I seem to have a bit more energy, and I've noticed a tendency to feel antsy when I'm just sitting still for long periods of time.
Bodily odors: I try to avoid them at all costs anyway, so it's hard to tell if they're changing. I have noticed my scent from "down there" is different. It's stronger, and maybe a bit sourer.
Mood: I haven't noticed any real dramatic mood swings. I have noticed a trend towards getting irritated easier (especially by the stupidity of others), and I seem a little more likely to snap at people. I'm not any more or less emotional though. Strangely enough, I seem to be getting burnt out on most of the games I enjoy. That could just be from gamer's overload though. I do tend to immerse myself in virtual worlds.
Well, that about covers it. I get my next shot in one week, and this time I'm doing it myself. I kind of want to just half the dose and do it today, but I'm going to be a good boy and go by what the doctor has told me. I'm not going to just arbitrarily change my dose or shot schedule without discussing it with her first.
6/2/05--2 week update
I was a good boy, and waited to do my shot. It was really pretty easy and painless. I just went into the bathroom, got my box of goodies, sat down on the throne, pulled out all my stuff, and did it. Withdraw, sterilize, inject, done. Although I did forget to have the cotton ball and bandaid ready to go, and had to kind of fumble around a bit to get those out with the needle still in my leg. I did get a couple of twinges doing that, probably from the muscle in my leg tensing whilst searching for stuff. Oh well, lesson learned. Next time I won't be so jumpy and will have those out before jabbing myself. On to the good stuff.
Voice: It definitely seems a bit lower, at least to my ears. I've noticed it crack and squeak a few times, but not really heavily. It's still pretty uneven and wavery at times, but it's going down. Yay!
Face: Definitely more oil. Yuck. I'm trying to remember to clean my face, but I'm such a dingbat I swear I'd forget my head if it weren't bolted to my neck. Nothing major though, and no breakouts...yet. IThe structure seems to be squaring off some, but it's hard to tell with all the pudge around my face. I look a bit more masculine to my own eyes in the mirror though.
Body: Definitely a couple of new chest hairs showing themselves. And I think my happy trail is climbing higher. I'm getting all excited for the two to meet up in the middle. Nothing really new in the leg hair department, but I've always had rather furry legs anyway. No noticeable changes in shape yet.
Libido: Still no major changes here. I might get aroused a hair easier, but not a whole lot.
Cock: Definitely gets harder. Still can't tell if it's getting any bigger.
Appetite/Energy: My appetite is actually decreased somewhat. That could just be my usual summer appetite thing though. Either way, the less I pig out, the easier it will be for me to drop a few of the extra tons. I'm still experiencing an increase in energy. I wanna do stuff more. This is a good thing.
Mood: Nothing new or major to report here. I do feel more at home in my own skin though. It's a nice feeling. Not one I'm used to, but it's good. I like feeling less like I'm wearing someone else's body around.
So, there you have it. From here on out, I'm probably going to confine my updates to monthly rather than bi-weekly. Unless, of course, I notice some huge change that I just can't resist sharing.
