how long can i be on T before people really notice?

[ryanjoseph]

i came out to my mom about a year ago, but she completely ignored it (denial, i'm guessing).
i'm honestly like less than a month away from being able to start T (!!!!!!) but i live with my mom and she'll notice eventually. (she thinks hrt will give me cancer and she doesn't want me to go on it). my dysphoria is so bad that i need to get on t but living with my mom is obviously a problem.
so how long do you think i can hide it? my plan is to start on a low dose of t and then next summer/fall i'm planning on moving out of state and maybe i'll kick things up a notch then. i don't know. this makes me sound awful.

A few months at best for some kind of notice.

I'm on an "average" dose (not low by dr standards) and it's been 10 weeks and my parents haven't noticed anything. Then again, I don't live with them. But I do see them quite a bit.

I'm in the same boat as you....I have my prescription but can't fill it until my doctor calls me back with my blood test results. I'm not sure how to tell her/when to tell her and I live with my parents soooo It's going to be an interesting ride.
