I know this is soon, I´ve barely been on T for two weeks.
Most guys I know said that with T their bottom area started growing pretty much immediately, along with the other changes (I´ve had some muscular change and voice change).
But nothing has happened down there and I´m not happy about it. Can it take a while for anything to grow?
What were your experiences?
I think the opposite is true; with most guys it takes longer than 2 weeks; which is an incredibly short time so be patient :D. I didn't really see any bottom growth that was noticeable until 1 month on T; even then growth was slow and I didn't have anything i was happy with until 6 months on T.
I´m so happy to see you write that ;D
I freaked out a little bit because I read a lot of stories by guys saying they noticed sensations down there on day 1. You know how thoughts get. "OMG nothing is happening, it´s always going to stay like this". Drama queen brain...

Glad I could help ;D. Yeah I was a massive drama queen until I reached around 6 months on T because I kept thinking 'I'm not seeing that many changes' and comparing myself to other trans guys ::)
I noticed a difference in my first month on T, but I wasn't crazy about my downstairs so it wasn't something I looked at with any kind of regularity. I'm sure it occurred over time in that first month and not all at once. I did find that it was more physiologically obvious to me than obvious by looking at it, at first. Like I could feel there was a difference but looking at it I didn't see much difference at first.
It's also been my experience that it occurs in spurts. So I had some growth in the first month, some more between 3-6 months, and some more around 9 months. Most statistics on bottom growth say that it maxes out around the 2 year mark.
;D
I´m not crazy about it either, but that´s why I check to see if there´s any difference.. maybe I should just forget about if for a while. Obsessing about it isn´t going to help it grow either ^^
Googling "penis growth timeline puberty" suggests 2-5 years for cis-males, depending on genetics, health, and nutrition.
I know with us (MtF) there's a belief that daily massaging of the breasts will help with our development...mainly because it stimulates blood flow. Don't know if that would help with your transition...but teen boys are known for frequent rubbing and masturbation.
Definitely not a fortnight growth process.
Just mho, carry on gentlemen.
Yikes, no way ;D
Too much dysphoria for me. But thanks (honestly) for thinking along.
I noticed a difference in my first month as well. I don't have bottom dysphoria and could really care less about it but It got super uncomfortable for a while. I used to wear boxers and I would rub against them in a way I didn't care for which hurt a whole hell of a lot :^( If this happens to you I'd recommend either wearing boxer briefs or a packer.
I've been on T for only a week now but I can tell there's been a slight increase in "girth." I wasn't expecting anything at all this early and I've prepared myself to kind of ignore how things are going until my one month mark. I know I'll just drive myself crazy examining every little thing waiting for changes, so I'm just letting the T do it's thing for the next 3 weeks. It's hard to just wait for changes when you've been waiting for a while already just to get to the point you're at now, but they will come! And congrats on 2 weeks on T!
Yeah that does seem like the better approach ;) It´s better to look down one day and... surprise haha. Thanks!
what kind of difference in your first month on T, down below. What was the first change I should be seeing down below

Girth as well as it starting to look like a mini penis.

LMAO, it ain't just the teen boys. If rubbing down there does help with the downstairs then I should grow like crazy! (And I know plenty of FTM guys who should be growing like madmen, hahahaha!) ;D Seriously, I thought I had a high sex drive before T. Now that I have testosterone running through my system... Yeah, I understand teen boys A LOT better these days!
have you gotten aroused at all since starting? i can definitely feel it kind of go up and throb when i'm aroused. i never got very much growth which i'm fine with but i think more often than not it seems a lot of people tend to grow an inch or so at least
Since I upped my dose I actually felt immediate change, so I was freaking out about nothing :P
Strangely enough I have less libido on the higher dose than on the starting dose...
I have PGAD, a nightmare of disorder that causes throbbing of the genitals anyways, randomly, so I can´t tell you much about that.

I am not a person who personally likes to think of his clit as a miniature penis, but I am guessing that what you mean by "have you gotten aroused" is does my growth down there feel like it's "rising" and getting harder in the manner that a penis would, and the answer is yes, mine started doing that at around 3 months. However, as someone who has plenty of experience with penis, it does not do it nearly to the extent that a cis man's does. I am guessing that it probably did the same thing before bottom growth but it was just too small then to tell--after all, it's basically just blood flowing to the genitals. It also has a throbbing sensation, but it always has, even before T. As for size, I have never had any problem looking at my genitals, and I would not say I have grown an actual, literal inch--much of what people count as "growth" was already there and just sort of stretched out along with the part that actually grew, creating a slightly different look from what I had pre-T.
These conversations always make me feel like I'm back in sex ed, hahahahaha.

May i ask why you don't like thinking of it as a miniature penis? For me thinking of it like that helps my dysphoria and self esteem.
And yeah it reminds me of sex ed too; but a lot more useful :D
I don't like thinking of it as a mini penis either actually; I'm glad it helps a lot of people and that technically is what it is when you look at body development and all that the same way ovaries are gonads and vice versa... I don't know, to me it just feels phony/like I'd be kidding myself if I said so. plus mine doesn't really come out of my area. I'm also not very sexually dominant so it's never been that much of a problem, and when I do too I'd rather just use toys/prosthetics instead
