Just a quick post to mention continued changes from the testosterone injections.
- I’ve gained body mass, about 10lbs. My doctor says that it’s muscle mass, but I’m still pretty careful about weight gain. This makes me 5 foot 1, 150lbs.
- With the weight gain, my feet have gotten wider. According to the preT measurements I took, my feet aren’t any longer. This has made about half of my shoes uncomfortable to wear however.
- I’ve gotten used to my new appetite. I end up eating ~4 meals a day, one of those being just a sandwich or a bowl of cereal.
- I don’t snuggle my cats quite as much anymore- or feel like holding animals as much. I still love my babies and like animals, but the affection is just less frequent.
- Playing sports makes me more sexually aggressive, something that didn’t happen before.
- My voice really has dropped quite a bit, which I am LOVING.
- Now that I’m passing so much, I don’t really want to grow any facial hair at the moment. I like the clean-shaven feel (I shave my face once a week). The hair on my legs hasn’t gotten much thicker, but I actually have hair above the knee now so I know that I’m getting more hair.
- I still haven’t cried since I started T. This hasn’t really been a problem except when I get my feelings hurt and can’t seem to just let it go like I used to. If anyone has any thoughts on this, let me know.
- Acne is still causing me issues on my face, just like it did the first time through puberty. I knew this would happen, and I try to focus on the many positive changes I’m experiencing.
- Still no period!!!! It has been a relief to not have to tackle that problem again. I use men’s restrooms 100% of the time, so this would be a big problem.
My T levels were checked last week, and came in “perfectly normal”, for a male. Exactly middle of the road. I’m currently on what would be considered a “half-dose” on T, so my body is producing the other half of the testosterone that makes me… me. 🙂
