#one month on t

[merildae]

It me

[transitioningpirate]

today - 03/11 - dates exactly one month since i've started t!!!!! i'm so happy and honestly so pleased with everything. i had a bit of a bad month (got sick, had a bit of a falling out with someone and then i got sick again) but seeing the effects it's had on me already makes me honestly so happy. and thinking about what's to come makes me so much happier!! it's been a while since i realized i actually was feeling excited for the long term future. it's amazing.

here's some of the changes i noticed:

same as the last list - hunger and thirst have increased a lot. the doctor says it's because of my metabolism, it's much faster now. this is good but also bad because i keep forgetting to drink water. this is something that i've always struggled with. before this week, i've already ended up in a hospital because of dehydration like three times. anyways, i used to live in an island, very used to humidity, and this year, for college, i moved to a town that's, like, over an hour away from the nearest beach. it's very very dry. and like i said before, in november we were hit by a terrible heat wave, and it all piled up: fast metabolism, heat wave, dry place, me forgetting to drink water frequently, and you guessed it: i ended up at the hospital yesterday :(. had to take some pain meds and some saline, but im totally fine now, and ill make sure it doesn't happen again!

so much more energy. i know i said this already, but it's crazy, seriously, i have so much more energy just in general, for everything. it's amazing. ive been sleeping better, eating better, working harder, studying more, it's crazy. my mood has increased a lot, too, actually, especially after my second t shot.

irritability, but i think this has more to do with my personal life. a bit of tmi here: i was seeing someone until not long ago but some not-very-nice stuff happened, and i asked for a break (with no intention of returning, mind you, despite what he so confidently claimed) and immediately after realized i very likely had an sdt for the first time in my whole life. for the record, this is the only person ive slept with this whole year, basically. so. yeah, i was stressed, you can say that. spent a bit of money on meds, and im already feeling much much better, but it definitely took me down for a couple days, emotionally and physically, and i honestly think my irritability came from that, but maybe t had a hand on it too? who knows

two friends of mine claimed im growing a moustache, but i dont think so yet. i already had a very thin very small moustache before, and maybe it's getting a bit thicker? i haven't noticed it personally except in one (01) picture i took with a weird lightning. im not sure... but i like to think so! maybe it's just starting to get thicker and it'll actually grow eventually!

acne. i bought a soap for my face specifically, and i use it everyday, sometimes twice a day, so it's not as bad as it could be, but it's definitely present. mostly in my forehead and my chin. it's easily taken care of, though, and doesn't hurt and barely shows, so it's whatever

my voice has definitely gotten deeper! not significantly so, but it definitely has, it's noticeable, and i love it so much. i love listening my own voice. i love listening to myself talk. i love it, love it love it love it so much. i record so much more audios on wpp now, i like hearing them back, i like hearing myself!!!!! it's the best. ive never felt this way about my voice before. im so happyyyy <3<3

it's so hooooot god i feel hot almost all of the time, everywhere it's warm and i sweat sooooo much. doubled my deodorant use and i have no regrets. it's not a bad thing, but it is mildly inconvenient sometimes, ngl. living in this hot as all hell town definitely doesn't help. ive wore more light and freeing clothes and it actually helps a lot, though. plus, my baby cousin's birthday this month will be a pool party, so im hella excited for that!!!!!!

if i can think of anything else, ill add onto this. thank you so much :3

One Month on T!!!!!!

So I hit one month on t a couple days ago and changes are thus:

more body hair everywhere especially on my stomach and arms but I'm a little more fuzzy everywhere

enough facial hair that i felt the need to shave it and did with success

deeper voice but not that much deeper and not since about two to three weeks

I'm not exhausted anymore which is nice. I'm glad that effect has worn off

maybe a little hungrier

One more thing. I would like to put forth an unforeseen effect of t-gel specifically. I have not had a stable nigh time routine in years, and the fact that I'm taking t-gel every night and it's something I can't just skip has turned it into an actual routine for me. I brush my teeth and wash my face, then shower, moisturize my face, t-gel, and pajamas. I feel so much better in the evenings and it is so much easier to fall asleep it's insane.

So I've been on Testosterone for about a month now so I figured why not do a little check in and list some of the things I've noticed.

First off, god damn my throat hurts, it feels like I have sore throat almost all the time, and after talking with my brother who's also trans masc, that normal because my voice is getting ready to drop

Second my acne is getting worse, like it's not bad but definitely getting zits more often

Third isn't one I've personally noticed but according to my brother, my facial hair is getting thicker, for reference I've always had like two or three dark hairs on my chin because of my PCOS and he says that there's more coming.

Lastly I've seen only a few people talk about this effect and I gotta say I love it. Basically I just feel more alive. Like I actually have a reason to keep going. Even with all the shit I'm going through on a daily basis, I feel mostly content and like I'm on at least the beginning of the right path.

!TW: mention of needles and blood!

one month on T! and i fucked up a shot little bit xD i did everything okay, even no blood in injection (because of veins blahblah), BUT-! as i pushed injection to "the end" i felt sharp stab-ish pain, so i thought 'meh, no blood before no now'... not THAT meh tho. as i pulled the needle out a drop or two of blood leaked down my thigh and that moment i was like 'waaaaaiiiit a fck moment... shit'

ANYWAYS i am still alive, leg is complete nothing is missing so good for me

also... i dont really see any noticeable changes, not that much. maybe a little bottom growth but i cant really tell, if thats it then i had btm grwth my whole life. which is and isnt sad, cuz like-... i was excited but??? no??? what??? i need either a refund or bigger dick >:[ although i smell different, little more sour??? idk how to specify, just different. my voice is not that squeeky but thats maybe just my wish.

another big thing is...- wait for it...- i have appointment for pre-surgery consultation for top surgery. in my country we have gender affirmating health care (as rest of healthcare) on insurance. there is this rule that if u want top surgery u have to be a year on hormones and go thru assessment comittee (idk if its Richter term for this word) so they allow u to have top surgery. another big BUT...- in my country there are only two doctors who can give u papers for top surgery without comittee. two sexologist to be more specific. and one of those two sexologist is my doctor (who take care of me in trans healthcare and stuff). so she gave me those papers like "go kid go, chop off these tittiesssss"

my appointment for pre-surgical consultation is in november. wish me luck!

(sorry if there are any grammar mistakes, its 4:19 a.m. and single tear is rollin down my face)

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)
