Title: Early growth in the nether-regions?
Post by: StirfriedKraut on August 25, 2015, 10:42:53 PM
-Made the title kind of vague in case anyone would feel awkward.-

So just a basic background, I naturally have much higher than normal androgen levels - this is a blessing in my case. Due to my polycystic ovarian syndrome I had a total hysterectomy this past December and was on no hormones until I started testosterone in June on a low dose via Androgel which is commonly slower than injections.

So I just happened to look down today (I don't really like to look at my genitals since it's kind of a dysphoria thing) and I noticed my clit was substantially larger than it was before. I'm not talking some obscene numbers but it was enough for me to think there's either been growth (already??) or it's swollen/infected or something.

I'm just wondering how quickly others have noticed growth in that department.

I'll bring this up to my endo as well since I just want to play it safe. It feels way too soon for me to be getting growth in the clit department. But it's very hard to say I mean I already have substantial facial hair growth and my voice is cracking like a teenaged boy so who knows maybe there is growth already.

Anyway any input would be cool. Take it easy comrades.

For me, growth happened quickly. I am on injections but I had noticeable growth by the end of the first week. So I definitely think what you're noticing is both possible and likely.

I had an intial growth spurt downstairs on a half dose of Testim gel within my first month - I believe it was about a half inch. It's currently growing again. I switched to a full dose at 1 month, and to injections after 3 months.

I noticed a visual difference in about two weeks. But, there were ~~feelings, sensations~~ belowdecks within the first two days after I started T. Really fast.

I just started on Androgel a few days ago and I can verify that there have definitely been ~feelings~ in the downstairs area, although I have not looked at it. There is a tumblr (not mine) with VERY EXPLICIT PICTURES of other people's growth and often they will state how many months they've been on T.
