It’s 0.5 mL once a week at 1000mg per 10ml, so 50mg per shot

Highkey considering asking to up my dose of testosterone. After six months there’s been virtually no visual changes aside from a bit of facial hair growth. Is it just my baby face screwing me over, or can upping my dose actually help? Anyone been in a similar situation?

I don’t have an endo, just my family doctor :( I’ll ask her at my appointment in two weeks. Also for changes, the biggest one is my voice. I speak in a total male range now, and have baritone to soprano range. I have sideburns and facial hair on my neck and chin. A bit more body hair, but nothing too noticeable. My sweat smells different, I have mayyyybe a centimetre more of bottom growth, if anything, and that’s me being optimistic. And I’ve gotten a lot more acne. No fat distribution or muscle changes at all, which I think is what I need most to help me pass.

3 Months on T Vocal Range

Lost and gained one note. Change seems to be slowing down a bit but that might be partially cause I haven’t been singing as much or actively trying to increase my range

Pre-T Vocal Range

E3-C7 (3.67 Octaves)

Voice Pitch - One Month on Testosterone

I can’t find my pre T one :(

2 Months on T Vocal Range

A2 to D6 (3.42 Octaves)

Gained two notes but lost a bunch on top. My voice has also started to crack a lot as the break in between headvoice and chestvoice changes. It’s also become much easier to sing with chestvoice than it is with headvoice

July 22nd, 2019

Acne starting to creep up all over my face. Can’t tell for sure if it’s hormonal related to the testosterone but I’m just gonna go ahead and say it is cause it hasn’t been this thickly spread all over my face since first puberty

12 Days on T

My sideburns are getting darker and longer! They’ve always been there but are starting to get more noticible

July 3rd, 2019

Did my shot by myself for the first time! My girlfriend was there for support and I did all the prep myself, but I let her press down the plunger cause she wanted to

1 Day on T

Ok I think I noticed another change unless this is psychosomatic, but my armpits smell different. Not stronger or worse, just different and unfamiliar

[lees-evolution]

Pre-T Testosterone Level

1.2 (Whatever that means)

[lees-evolution]

6 Hours on T

I think I’ve noticed my first change?? It might just be the placebo effect, but my urine smells different. Not stronger, exactly, but just unfamiliar. This is the least exciting change ever but I’m so happy that something’s happening lol

I GOT MY FIRST SHOT OF TESTOSTERONE!!

The nurse and my doctor were so nice and answered all my questions. I’m starting at a dose of 0.5ml per week, and I was given one inch needles. I had to do blood work to get my levels tested before my shot (don’t have the results yet) and I also did a practice shot of saline into my other thigh so I ended up looking like this:

The shot itself felt like nothing honestly, I felt the blood work way more. My doctor misgendered me a few times but ended up correcting herself. She wrote me a note for travel in case security stops me for the needles, and they gave me supplies for the next ten weeks. I’m so blessed by the Manitoba healthcare system, and by my doctor in particular. More updates to come as I start noticing changes!!
