T-t-transformation

For those of you wondering, here is a comparison of my face from Pre T vs. one month on T. Not a whole lot of changes, but my jawline and chin are becoming more defined. Also, you can't see it here, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: I swear to you my eyebrows are beasts.

One month on T!

Well, today was my third t shot. I've been four weeks on T as of today. I got my dosage bumped up from 50mg (.25mL) to 100mg (.50mL). The doctor asked me what changes I had experienced and I said, "Well, nothing big so far..." and she said "Okay, so if all goes well, we'll bump up your dose! I mean, if you're comfortable with that. If you feel good about it..."

What was I going to say, no? 'Oh yeah I totally got on T to wait forever and no see any changes. I want to draw this process out for as long as possible.'

But in all seriousness, she said we'll bump up today and then probably to 150mg next month. I've done my own injections both times, and in true quick bandaid peel fashion, it's easy peasy if you don't think about it. It also doesn't hurt!

So that's awesome.

Like I said, changes haven't been huge. These are the things I've noticed--

- My skin, mostly on my face, feels a lot rougher.
- I was told my voice sounds a little deeper. I don't know if it does, but my general base pitch feels lower. It's a lot more in my chest than before.
- I'm hungry. I don't get hungry more often, but I now eat a lot more in a sitting.
- My hair (on my head) is drier. Which is odd.
- I'm way back on teenager sleep patterns.

Well. That's it so far. I'm eager to see what else happens and I'm doing my best to be patient.

Maybe I should cut off all my hair so I pass better.
