Title: Getting my first shot tomorrow!
Post by: Alexander_Reese on September 22, 2015, 07:18:38 PM
Well to start off, I am getting my first shot tomorrow! I'm extremely nervous but very excited :) I was curious as to what changes everyone has gone through in the first week?

Congrats! My first week I mostly noticed more energy and maybe some downstairs tingling. My moods evened out fairly quickly, but I don't remember if it was the first week or not.

Congrats, man! I hope things go well for you! First week for me was most noticeable in that I started waking up earlier. Like, considerably so--not going to bed earlier or getting out of bed in the morning earlier, exactly, but I  pretty consistently started waking up before my alarms went off. I casually daydreamed about doin' the do a lot more (usually in that time between waking up and alarm telling me to go off), as well. Hunger spikes are pretty common, energy spikes are pretty common. I have a mood disorder and my mood "ranking" shifted around a bit--what pre-T would've been a 3-4 out of 5 on the depression scale was ranked at 2.5, which was interesting.

Congratulations!  :) I've only been on T for a few weeks so I have a pretty good memory of the first week.  I started feeling pretty sluggish and tired for the first few days but then that went away and now I can actually do fine on less sleep.  My throat felt scratchy like that feeling when you're getting a cold,  the day after my shot.  No voice drop of course but I think my vocal cords were noticing that change will happen in the foreseeable future [emoji14] oh and my appetite changed dramatically, I wasn't always hungry but when I was hungry I was starving.

Best of luck ,  and enjoy the beginning of your medical transition

Congratulations! I think the changes vary from person to person. For me, I actually didn't feel much during the first week, except my leg was sore the day after the injection. About three weeks in, one of the first changes I noticed was I felt hungry all the time and my voice started to crack.

ha ha, mostly a libido boost and feeling like I hardly needed any coffee that week!  I was pretty busy and productive with all the extra energy my first few months.  I have... lazied out substantially but still notice more energy after a shot :)

Congratulations! I hope things went well for you. Sometimes you get a little sore the first few times, but it goes away.
It may take a little time, but when you start to see the secondary sex characteristics starting, you will feel euphoria greater than you ever have before. Just don't expect to walk by a pretty girl and not obsess over her!
