Susan's Place Transgender Resources

okay been on tetrogel for around 5 months,
and just got my injection for 2 weeks ago, since it less messy and got told to be more effective.
so its 6 month tomorrow but I dosent really feel satified, I have got the usunally chances but still I dont feel so much have happent.

1, I got a small adams apel but mu voice havent chanced that much,
2, I got like no facial hair even thought I shave once in a while
3, I got small increse of hair on legs and my stomack (but it might also be because my famely dosent have much hair, and its not something im longing for)
4, still got my once a month ->-bleeped-<- (which I HATE SO MUCH!!)

I dont have much acne either as many have claimed, it might be because im more or less living healthy, or because of genetic
I dont know.. but I started to worry if my homones are working as they should or something?

when I compare myself to other transguys I seam like they have got alot of things way faster than me, like facial hair or no period,

I think you should talk to your doctor about fixing your dose so your period will stop but I mean you've only been on T for 6 months.  It takes cis men YEARS to go through puberty and have all of the changes associated with it.

yeah I know it takes some times, it just I seen guys who been around same time as me who got more effects,

and for the period point I kinda nervous I know it can take up to 9 mounths but I feel like most guys get it of pretty fast compared.

Don't compare yourself to other trans guys. Everyone responds differently to T based on genetics, it's no different from the puberty cis-males go through. If you're curious about how your body should be responding, you'd be better off comparing yourself to the post-pubescent males in your family.

For the record, I was about the same at 6 months as you are.

This and even then it's not a certainty that that is how your body will respond to T.

hmm I donno how much I can compare,

my brother is my half brother on my mothers side,
and my dad got some late devolopment and also had to take T in his early years.

I might compare with my dad but can I do so with my brother?

about your period: you can ask your doctor for hormone blockers which will lower the level of estrogen in your body and help stop your period. Many doctors prescribe estrogen blockers when first prescribing T for that reason.
