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?

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

      hi everyone, my name is giz (or gizzie), i use all prns but i prefer they/it and i just found out abt this place pretty recently !! im really excited to find community among other trans people from so many walks of life !! in my personal life, i do have trans/queer friends but its not easy to navigate that without coming out all willy nilly (and i can't come out to my family, pretty much ever) so this is a pretty good place for me to get to know people and make new friends !!   i also have this weird dysphoria issue that i feel like everyone (and society at large lol) is attaching me to categories and boxes that don't really fit me (obviously this is to do with my agab) so being here without that presentation is also really helpful !!   i also hope to be able to start and share my transitions goals and things like that (just getting my body to a more androgynous look) !!   thanks for reading, and i hope to see more of y'all soon !!

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).
