Could It Be Beard Growth?

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?

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

      What I don’t like about the dealer working on my car, yes the put the paper mats on the floor, but why don’t they remove them when they bring my car to me?  And why do they always mess with my radio settings and my electronic dashboard settings?  I get them the way I want them and they seem to want them at factory default.  Leave things like you find them!  Why is that so difficult?  And don’t tell me it’s because the updated the computer! Every time!.  And no I haven’t figured out everything yet on the new car.  I can’t even get my key programmed to move my seat when I get in and out.  It’s supposed to move the seat, the mirrors, the steering wheel and several other things.  My old Eddie Bauer was easy to program but then it only programmed seat location and pedal location.   ok now that we’ve had our rousing knock on cars and dealer mechanics.  What else shall we talk about?  Bras?  Seems like an appropriate subject for most of us.  I have several different types. Two are famous store push-up padded to are more common everyday lightly padded ant one is a no padding no strap slip and the last one is a front close longline no padding.  Now that one supports the theory that I am now a B cup on my own. I’d prefer a C but then I’m not so sure my blouses would still fit without pulling.  Ah the problem we have as women.  And sizes are never ever the same.  Oh I’m a size ??  But men I need a large shirt and 36-30 pants and they always fit.   we can’t buy anything off the rack with confidence it will fit and I hate having to take it home to try one and return what doesn’t fit.   we’ll time to do my hair and leave.   love ya   Willow

      Hello we are The lake. So called because This One has not determined a name for oneself but has in a way created an environment to try out multiple names as different people. Currently Some of us use she/her pronouns and one uses he/him. We hope to learn more about being transgender and the intricacies involved. Once again it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance and we hope to be of further help in the future.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/18-states-sue-biden-administration-transgender-worker-protections-rcna152239     When the R's are in power they love having the EEOC promulgate rules favoring employers.  But when the D's are in power, they just hate it when the EEOC makes or enforces rules that favor employee rights; most especially trans employee rights.  Then it becomes "government overreach."  Funny how that works out.    Carolyn Marie
