I Got T

:D

I did my first shot today. It didn't hurt at all. The needle was kind of big and scary and I was expecting it to hurt, but when I pushed it in there was just pressure and a little sting. It hurt less than routine vaccinations.

I swear today my voice was all squeaky and weird for like five minutes, but it was probably all in my head :P

I'm so excited.

I lifted and did a whole crapload of situps just now, and went for a 25 minute run.

I dunno why, but now that I have T it seems like there's a point to working out. Before, I'd lift and lift and just get "tone." I want bulk, damnit, bulk! Heh.

But yeahh I'm pretty happy =DD

right on, man!

just be careful to not push yourself to quickly in the weightlifting department... I gave myself something like shin splints in my forearms and now have to take a few weeks off to recuperate.

You're right Huff. Is unbelievable how much strength you gain with T. Woot! I am able to lift more weights and getting stronger by the minute. B)

Whoa I was doing my forearm workouts and I noticed two veins popping out on the back of my forearm. I've never seen that before, I don't know if it's from the T or a random coincidence because of the vigor of my workout, but either way it's cool!!

wow, congradulations on getting your T. i'm happy for you. but dont kill yourself working out :lol: you'll find that T will make you bigger and stronger just by accident. unfortunatly that happened to me <_< but oh well. its just a matter of time and i can start fixing it. but now you get to live with the knowledge that you are physically heading in the right direction, no more worrying about changing for the worst.

It's been two weeks, I've been recording my voice and it's definitely deeper. I always get asked if I'm my mom's bf on the phone (but I did before a lot too). Furthermore my arm veins are definitely more pokey outey (I'm inventing words), and I have a black hair near my belly button (gross but exciting)

i think its hard to watch fat redistribution without taking pictures because it happens so slowly.

also hair growth or even just increase in amount of hair where there is hair already.

clitoral growth in the beginning.

flattening of the chest (some of the chesticle "stuffing" flattens out - not nearly enough to make the chest inexplicably male, but some.)

muscle size (if youre not working out).

peach fuzz and facial hair growth (in the beginning).

the subtle stuff that we like to talk about when we're just starting out.

:lol: dont be alarmed.

      Panties Issues

      By Amy Powell · Posted

      I threw away most of my male ones, kept a few just in case (Dr appts etc). I had almost thrown those away to until this issue came back up again. Perhaps your right, over time hopefully I'll get more used to it. Having to switch back to regular male undies made me sad. I think going up a size may help to. It's not always sore, only when I wear them for long stretches. I don't feel myself in male undies. Thank you for the advice

      Are you at peace with yourself?

      Over time, the stress continues to lessen -- as well as the euphoria that accompanied my coming out and beginning HRT. And as those milestones recede in the rearview mirror, it has allowed me to feel much more normal,  and to find my own expression of "non-binaryness".  My clothes closet is probably 80% female items, and will likely stay that way for the forseeable future. Were I young, I doubtlessly would find a different expression, but at 75 I am happy with what I achieved.   Another +1 to what @KathyLauren said regarding the worrisome and hateful behavior that we are witnessing. I can hope that this cycle will diminish over time, but to aid in that, each of us and millions of cis voters need to be involved in local as well as state/provincial, and national elections.    Kind regards,   Astrid

      Going to a bigger size might help. I'm wearing high cut panties every day now - threw out all my male underwear - and ended going up a size just for the abrasion issue. I think that wearing them all the time has helped me "acclimate" as well.

      Currently the material is stretch cotton bikini with no tucking. I've even tried to stretch out the front to create a pouch. Unfortunately I've only had limited success with that.  I'm considering trying a bigger size..maybe that'll help. Thank you for the input

      Maddee, that makes me so happy for you!   I, too, am grateful for what I've learned about myself and for how far I've come in this past 1.5 years.

      Correction: MUCH more peace than I had before.     Profound improvement.  Gratitude. Make it the best possible.

      @Sally Stone I am genuinely sorry that I haven't been able to respond to your amazing story and example. Life has just been throwing multiple challenges my way.   I live close enough to Harrisburg to have been seriously thinking about attending the conference next year. Of course, your latest discussion of living part-time gives me pause because the fits me right now. I've been tempted to reach out to the organization and start a dialogue. I have signed up for their newsletter.   Any thoughts on if/how I should proceed?
