So I guess, having done exactly eight injections-- two months on T, .3mL a week, 200mL dosage-- here's the changes I've noticed:
Immediate clitoral growth. Not dramatic looking, a couple mm or so thus far, large enough to make it a lot more sensitive and my arousal to be a lot more immediate. With this, my crotch has been itchy for about two months now. Started maybe a week in.
Speaking of, within two weeks or so, my libido definetely jumped. Granted, I had just about a non existent one before unless I actively worked to produce arousal in my body, but T absolutely has produced a natural libido in me. Lends credence to my theory that I've had a hormone deficiency for years.
I've read that T dries some people out; for me, at least, it has made my body produce more wetness. Might be just the arousal thing, though. Unsure.
Muscularture has definetely increased. I noticed it first about a month in, but by two months, it's noticeable enough in my arms that even my partner made a comment the other night on how my muscles have visibly tightened up. I have not been exercising much, past a couple miles long hikes this spring, and occasionally I'll do the bare minimum of floor exercises-- push-ups, sit-ups, jumping Jack's, planks, etc. Nothing more than fifteen min at a time, mostly to see where my body is at. Exercise is getting easier, too.
My voice is finally noticeably starting to lower. Haven't had my first "crack" yet, but I've been at like.... "morning husky voice" for about two or three weeks now, and in the past week especially, I've noticed some mild cracking and lowering. I sing every day, alto and soprano, and I can now comfortably hit a tenor, too. Soprano is getting harder, but I also smoke and should work on diaphragm exercises again, so that might be on me.
Emotional. I keep bursting into tears. I'm Def a product of "don't cry ever you traumatized idiot", so having these bouts of intense and uncontrollable tears has been... Hard? But also very cathartic. It feels like my hormones are more in sync with my body and mind than they used to be.
I disassociate a little less. Probably gender euphoria, there. My brain feels slightly less fractured.
Dysphoria is simultaneously better and worse. Better, because I'm seeing results, and my brain is latching onto the more "masculine" parts of my body and seeing said results. Worse, because my brain is latching onto the "feminine" parts of me and making them into worse traits than they are. Having to often use the way I have therapized myself for years to embrace my body and love it, but it's a hard line to walk when you're actively chemically changing yourself. It just takes some more careful navigation of my brain I guess!
Slight hair growth. Darkening on my face somewhat, growth in my pubic region. Not much else yet. Head hair is falling out a little, but I also have a lot of it and it's fine.
Energy! I have so much more energy oh my God, it's insane! Except about half the time, my t shot just makes me pass ouuuuut afterwards LOL.
My period hasn't stopped yet, but I have my suspicions this one will be my last. It was far lighter this time, and I was able to stop wearing pads within four days, rather than the standard six or seven. I've always had fairly light periods. We'll see what next time brings. I have had two on T so far.
My breast tissue is diminishing. I've lost probably half a cup size so far. I have pretty solid c's, with a lot of perkiness. They're starting to lose some of the perkiness, and I tried on an old pushup bra the other day, and it was a lot bigger than I anticipated it. Hoping T can push me pretty far down. Would love an easy top surgery one day.
Yeah! That's about all I can think of. Thought I'd document this hehe.
