Could It Be Beard Growth?


Guest StrandedOutThere

I was taking pictures for my chest surgery and decided to use the old camera to get a better look at the underside of my chin. I keep thinking I feel beard hairs coming in down there but can never get a good look. Now, I've only been on T for a month, so this could be wishful thinking on my part. Check it out!

What do you guys think? Is it real beard growth or am I up in my sleep? This was taken right after I shaved, so the timing might not be the best. I'll wait a couple of days and then take more pictures. :)

I also need to find a nice, manly moisturizer. Shaving dries my face out, big time.

You will notice some facial hair growth even after a month. I did. But it won't turn into a proper beard for a long time. I'm almost 9 months and I've been growing it out for about a month now. It's coming in, but it's very thin and patchy. Patience and time I'm afraid. Waiting is the worst part.x

I guess it just makes me happy to see something there. Half the time I am afraid that my shot went into fat and isn't working. Speaking of shots, I just did one and now my thigh muscle hurts. Not cool.

Hola! Welcome back from Thanksgiving.

Hmmm. It could be something. Like Sergei said some hair growth does occur even after only a month and even if its only scant. I got something. Dunno exactly how much yet I'm waitin to finish pics before actually lookin at em. LOL But I do love how only your brothers can appreciate the seriousness of an ultra close picture of the chin. I wish I coulda got a shot that close. I don't think mines that close. (sigh)

I think 15 year boys would understand our love of close up pics of the chin too...

Looks like you might have something there.

It's there Ains! If a lady says its there you just gotta believe her.

But why do you shave if you don't have facial hair?

April

Hope? lol To train the skin? Encourage follicles? "Getting rid of peach fuzz" is our standard reason tho :P

That and that really we're just...

15 year boys

...even though my online quiz swears I'm 16.

In the top picture it looks like a few follicles are darkening a little bit. Besides that, it looks like you have a few stray blond hairs. We should definitely wait a few days without shaving and get new pictures then. It will be easier to see if it's peach fuzz or closer to a real beard. Of course, you won't be able to grow out a full beard for a while.

Evan-

you're so right on. I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read your replies. I'm SO 16 right now. And, I every time I look in the mirror, I search for more facial hairs. It's like I'm hoping there will be more that came in since the last time I checked (like a couple of hours before). I'm 10 months on T and have almost no facial hair to speak of yet (a little over the lip and a little on the chin).

Ainsley-

yeah, that's definitely facial hair coming in. Too cool.

I think it takes a few years for it to get to the full blown amount...that's what I remember from my ...erm... unfortunate "wrong" puberty.

Glad to find that ya'll find enjoyment in it tho :D I guess it's comparable to MTFs seeing bewb growth....and even now days i always try to find signs of growths too...congratulations... :-3

It takes time Stranded but still you will notice some hair growing. Trust me "T" is potent. Jeje I started shaving like 2 months ago or so just to stimulate growth. Right now I have hair all over my body but still it takes a little time. Good luck.

Mostly I shave to get rid of peach fuzz. I have dark hair, so you can see it pretty well. Grown men don't have peach fuzz...so away it goes. Plus, it just makes you feel better...

I do have pretty significant lip hair. I'm less proud of that though because I've always had some amount of lip fuzz. The only difference is that now it feels coarse when I shave it. It didn't before.

Yeah...I'm so like a 16 year old boy. It's cool when puberty isn't wrong. This must be what it is supposed to be like. I never understood the emotion that made my sisters spend so much time in front of a mirror between the ages of 12 and say...28. It's like pride or something. I feel like "Dude! Check out what I grew!". During "first puberty" I spent the whole time being like "Why are you growing that? Wait! Stop!".

On another note...I jacked my leg hard core when I did my shot yesterday. I had to do it in my right leg, because it was the right leg's turn. The problem is that I am left handed, so things are awkward from that side. I think the needle moved around a lot. Now I have an ouchy quad and can only take Tylenol because my chest surgery is next week.

Just call me Dr. Greg House...

I use an aftershave made by Nivea that belongs to their Nivea for Men line; it's called soothing aftershave balm or something like that. You have to be careful and get the one that doesn't have any alcohol in it - sometimes it's hard to find, but my local Target usually has it in stock, so look for it there. It doesn't cool my face as much as my old aftershave did, but that's because that super cooling effect comes from the alcohol, which is also the thing that dries your skin out... this stuff feels more like a thin lotion and doesn't burn or dry my skin out - it smells okay too.

Yeah you got some growth coming in, it takes time though. I've been on T for a year and a half and i have a full beard, but I know guys who's been on alot longer than me and are pachy, so I guess alot depends on your genes. I use Aveno shaving cream it keeps my skin soft and it doesn't make my face dry. try it out. Good luck my man.

LOL welcome guys. And thank God you're here.

welcome back! Glad the surgury went well (-; Just give it time and beeeee patient...I'd gladly give mine but hey it took me 40+ years to be able to grow a moustache. I could pluck my cheeks and not shave there but twice a year...my chin is only slightly better...no sideboards...after 15 years or it's difficult to remove something that's been do much a part of you...but...come the first of the year...it's gone gone gone...you keep yours...it IS promising...promise. Don't shave two or three times a day...it won't help...the beard come in that is...but it might make you aquire a skin infection (-; Kelly Ann

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable

      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
