| T-files thoughts, observations, and feelings/changes since starting T on 6/25/01 |
Week one... So far, no noticeable changes (or at least anything I would attribute to the T). Right now I'm at that stage where everything is like, "well maybe.... naw, couldn't be." with everything. I have noticed that I have more energy (although I still sleep in 'til 1 pm) lol... and I seem to have "hot flashes" so I guess that counts. Week two... Still not noticing anything, so far I'm only going on one shot of course... still feeling a bit off temperature wise however. Week three... Well, I've noticed that my voice has more range to it, but it hasn't really deepened. What I mean is, whereas I used to have to strain to lower my voice, now it just kind of flows easier, while still requiring effort. And... I still get hot really easily, I sweat WAY more... and therefore, I require more showers. Um.. some acne, but only a little more than average for me. My hair gets oilier faster too. Week four... Skin is definitely oilier, muscles are kind of achy, but it feels lots better after I stretch/excercise. Having more trouble sleeping at night, as I can't get comfortable. The major thing I noticed is that my *ahem* genitalia is like two times bigger... much more sensitive too. Still feeling the hot flashes... or as my dad calls them "T-flashes." I'm beginning to think maybe they're here to stay. Feeling more horny... but at the same time, the thought of engaging in sex actually turns me off. *Hmmmm....* Looking forward to more changes... *July 23rd- third shot 1 MONTH* Week five...... Nothing new to report yet. Although, I have been rather moody, and its starting to affect my personal relationships. Its something I'm trying to definitly work on. Well, its still week 5, and I just got my (.) It seems like its early.... GRR. Its not really a heavy flow though, usually it lasts 4-5 days, but we'll see how long this one does. Acne seems to be increasing... on my back and shoulders too. UGH. Oily skin... possibly some change in voice. But nothing ALL to exciting to report. Although, I've heard T makes you hella horny, but lately I've had virtually NO sex drive.... odd. But just fine with me. After all, I'm saving myself for that special someone.....riiiiight Week six... Nothing new to report really. Sweating more and more... starting to eat less and have more energy (let's hope my metabolism is adjusting itself). Otherwise, feeling great... still got acne and stuff. I also noted four fairly substantial whiskers on my chin! hehe... otherwise, nothing new at this point. Week seven...... Ah, now I'm starting to notice stuff, either that, or I'm just more observant! Well, let's see... my arms are starting to change shape, as in they are less 'soft' and getting somewhat more muscular, but I don't know, they just seem more mannish. I think the hair on my upper arms is getting thicker too? Um... my happy trail goes all the way down now, its still rather light and thin, but its filling in (it never went all the way before)... So I'm excited about that. Sweating like a PIG! could be the heat, but I'm taking up to three showers a day lately. I've been a lot more physically active also, and I notice I have more energy and drive to keep pushing myself further. What else? Oh yeah, I've started to notice that my mentality and outlook on things (as in the way I think) has been changing too... as in like, life is GOOD. I'm able to put things into perspective better these days. So that's all for this point. Oh yeah, and after shaving off my mustache awhile ago... its coming back as thick and full as ever, in fact... it reaches out further to the sides now. Could be shaving, could be the T.....heh. Week eight.... Mustache is filling in well again, I've noticed I have more hair on my neck, and dude, my pubes are spreading like wildfire. (just what you wanted to know)... They are like EVERYWHERE now. I also have more hair on my legs and such. Arms seem to be buffin' out... Oh yeah, I had another really light period. (ARG) So I'm hoping that will just stop soon. Otherwise, I feel GREAT. Week nine... About the same as above... slightly more fuzz all over my body. Which now includes my face... acne is actually getting better I think. Maybe 'cause I'm leveling out. I've been sleeping a lot less as well. *shrug* Week ten... I think the whole horny-all-the-time thing is kicking in. Not that I would ever tell anyone, but I'm a downright hornball these days. Everytime I go to like Costco, its bad news..... its like a cesspool of young meat for me to look at. *sigh* But at least I'm just LOOKING, the gears are turning though.....hehe. Hair, hair, hair..... no one believes me, but its sprouting like crazy. A couple of people have asked about my voice, so maybe it IS finally starting to change. I've been working now, and as far as I know, none of the office ladies know I'm not bio. So its nice. I think that my leg hair is thickening up too. And its LONG. Week eleven Well, its going into week twelve, but I'm trying not to shave for awhile to see what happenes. I can feel the stubble, and I'll keep trying to take pictures of it. If you are interested, a couple of pics are HERE if you'd like to check them out. I also added some 'before' pics... I think my face maybe be changing, but you tell me.... |
