14th December 2016 – 1 year and 5 months on Testosterone
It’s time for my latest transition update. What’s been happening in the last five months, well I no longer have a job at the minute as there wasn’t enough work, so I am back to looking for another. I also have an appointment booked with my Dr at the Laurels for the 13th January and I will let you know how that goes.
Below is a breakdown of the changes so far:
What Type of Testosterone am I Using
I am still using Tostran every morning, I do still have the odd occasion when I forget to apply it. I have only ever done it once where I have missed a couple of days in a row and for doing that I ended up with my monthlies, needless to say I won’t be doing that again. Although I am hoping that the next time I see my Dr at the Laurels he will be able to swap me over onto the injections – fingers crossed.
Facial Hair
My facial hair is coming on really well, my peach fuzz is getting more noticeable and more dark hairs are appearing on my chin. I actually cut myself shaving and my god did it hurt even worse than when I used to catch my legs when shaving. My moustache is getting really dark now. It’s also becoming quite itchy. Below is a month comparison on my facial hair, I am going to see how much I can grow for the new year.
Body Hair
Nothing has really changed just more darker hairs everywhere. My hair line is changing and where it has started to recede its getting more noticeable, as yet I haven’t lost any hair its still as thick as ever. I still don’t have any hair growth on the outside of my legs, but I was told that this is normal.
Body Changes
Nothing has changed in the last few months apart from managing to lose 2 stone and I really do feel so much better, I can finally get back into my favourite pair of jeans.
Voice Changes
My voice is up and down at the minute, I do have moments when it feels really rough and croaky. Nic laughs at me when I am speaking and it starts to break.
Acne
Apart from having a few spots on my hairline when my skin was greasy, I haven’t had any since they cleared up. I didn’t really suffer with spots as a teenager so maybe that had something to do with it or it might be the Testosterone gel I’m using.
Downstairs Growth
I did think at first that I would be really uncomfortable with the fact that I would grow downstairs but once it started to grow I felt and feel so comfortable with how much it has grown, and the increased sensation is great.
Sex Drive
Before I met Sarah I wasn’t really interested in sex and I would go through the motions as you do and I always thought that I would never enjoy it but since being with her and being able to be myself I enjoy our bedroom activities. I really did think that it had calmed down but the mere mention of sex I go mental.
Mentally
I do worry about what people will say or do when I go out. Especially now that I have more noticeable changes, but Sarah pointed out to me why take any notice of what other people think. I have had some great experiences from people too. I was having a wheel sorted out on my car and when it came to paying he asked for my details he said is that “Miss, Mrs….” but when I said “Mr” he was really apologetic and said “I’m sorry about that mate”. I don’t know whether I have mentioned in previous posts but I don’t use a chest binder unless I am going out somewhere special or for my appointments at the Laurels. I find them to much of a hassle to get in and out of and I never feel comfortable when I wear one.
