Title: Fast changes on T
Post by: timbuck2 on December 03, 2014, 01:50:12 AM
I can't believe how fast the changes are happening! 2 months and this is what my chin looks like:

For some reason I was under the impression that I wouldn't really notice anything for at least 4 months, especially because I'm not one of those people that stares in the mirror for half an hour looking at their face. Testosterone really is a powerhouse of a hormone.

You must be genetically lucky, too. I always envy trans women their bottom surgery, but I have to admit that it's much nicer to grow facial hair than to have it plucked one hair at a time.

You're going to be one hairy bear by the twelve-month mark.

Agreed 100%. I can't even imagine the stress of laser treatments/plucking/waxing etc. A big shout out to all the trans women who go through it...lord knows I could never lol

If looking at my brother tells me anything, oh yeah, I'm genetically destined to be a bear. Can't say I'm not excited :D

Hell yes. I shaved at the end of November and saw that beard shadow where my mustache used to be.

Hairy guy pride all the way! I'm excited for all of us :')

I got a haircut yesterday and the barber asked if I wanted to keep my sideburns or not--I didn't even notice I had any lol.

I wanted to but my mom made me shave it off for Thanksgiving. :'(
My face looks so weird without any trace of facial hair (points to avatar) but it's coming back at least...

Man you guys.... epic. I'm 2 months on a pretty low dose and seein' stuff all over now. It's still soft so not there yet, but you guys give me hope for when I get on my full dose!! Which I'd be on already but my dr. likes to take things slow.
