-Your smell might change a little bit! But my dude, it happens so gradually you probably wonât even notice it. And if you shower and wear deodorant? Youâre probably not going to smell! Because youâre an adult whoâs been through puberty before and can sure as shit manage another one!
-Acne IS a thing, but it depends on your genetics! Some people get a lot of acne, other people get none. Either way, washing your face twice a day and making sure it doesnât get too dry is a good place to start!
-Testosterone injections? Pretty difficult to mess up! Theyâre IM injections, the best place to inject is usually the outer thigh. Trust me (someone who STILL faints when they get blood taken) when I say that a T injection is nothing but a boop. Itâs a boop, thatâs it, youâre done. If it does hurt? Itâs a liâl pinch, at most. After youâre going to be a little sore, but it feels like a bruise at most, nothing to be scared of! Always remember to aspirate before you inject, too!
-Your attitude will change, but usually not by much! Once again! It depends on genetics! Be prepared to get irritable from time to time. But itâs nothing to fret over.
-You are going to want to eat more, but thatâs normal! Your metabolism is raising, so your body is going to want more food! Itâs okay to have smaller meals between meals, itâs actually good for your metabolism.Â
-Donât fret if youâre not losing weight! Because youâre most likely losing the body fat and gaining it in muscle, and muscle weighs more than body fat. Youâre gonna be fine, homie.
-If you start T under 21, you do have a chance to grow taller! Congrats! It literally feels like any other growing pains you had growing up!Â
-Sometimes you donât stop your period immediately, sometimes you do! Everyoneâs body is different! The long and the short of it is your body is going through a bunch of hormonal changes that your uterus doesnât know how to cope with! Things can be stressful, but eventually it will pass, be strong, my dude.
-Your downstairs is going to get different, but once again! Totally normal! Your clit is going to start growing, I noticed mine after 2 weeks! Iâm assuming itâs also another thing thatâs different for everyone, but itâs nothing to be scared of!
-Remember that everyoneâs experience on T is different! Sometimes it takes a while for things to happen, but thatâs okay! Your doctor is there to make sure that youâre healthy and that your body is agreeing with your T dosage! There are gaps that need filling in here, but a lot of it all depends on your body! Youâll be fine, and in the long run? Totally worth it. Please donât let uninformed people on the internet scare you away from pursuing a big step like this when the positives undoubtedly weigh out the negatives.Â
