Title: Q's after starting T
Post by: Wolf Man on June 29, 2011, 06:33:59 PM
So, I started just this last Friday and it is now Wednesday. I'm on bi-weekly shots at half the normal dose.

I feel like I'm growing. Like I'm getting bigger everyday after the next. I mean it has only been a few days, but it's such a strange feeling. I'm assuming this is normal? I mean my work involves me moving around and lifting things etc. So it makes sense... Right?

Aside from that my SO is noticing that my junk is getting bigger. I on the other hand don't really see it. I think it looks bigger, but she makes it sound like it has gotten massive. I do however feel a difference that I just noticed yesterday. It felt as though it was taking up more space and was a bit of an odd feeling.

So, people, please just let me know that this is normal :P Thanks :) Also, a good way to take body measurements.

Trust me, it's normal. My first few or two of T, I started seeing more muscle mass and build-up, plus my junk got at least twice the size in only a week. Mind you, it was tucked neatly away and no one could really get to it before. Plus, I have an IUD, which means my estrogen levels are lowered a bit more than normal due to it.

What you're experiencing is COMPLETELY normal. :D

Well, that's good to know. I suppose I should warn my SO that it's going to get a lot bigger very quickly then. As for myself, well I guess I'll just be having these "growing pains" for some time.

Thanks again :)

No problem! Keep in mind, everyone changes a bit differently, and expect to hit puberty for a while again, too. My voice has been cracking like mad.
