Title: Finally!
Post by: GQjoey on August 24, 2008, 06:09:31 PM
Got my blood work done, and back this weekend. After 5 months on a small dosage, the only thing she told me I need to watch is my cholesterol. It wasn't very high, 3 pts higher than it was the last time. It's funny, cuz I've lost weight since I started T, but I guess eating burritos and pizza everyday for lunch doesn't help your cholesterol.
Changes on a small(er) dose for 5 months:
- Definite mood change. Mostly anger. And I get extremely irritable.
- Sex drive has went up a great deal. I find myself thinking about sex, ALL the time.
- clitoral growth.
- About 6 really long whiskers grow in on the left side of my lip, if I let them grow. Otherwise no significant hair growth. My peach fuzz is coming in more spread out, darker, and more bristle in texture.
- I became pretty numb to my emotions/feelings. And this past month has been pretty hard on me, trying to figure out where i want to live, a break-up, etc. I finally brought myself to tears about a week ago, and it felt GREAT! I've never been a big cry baby, but I really COULD NOT cry. Not sure if it's all in my head, or if it's the T.

That's about it for changes. I'm hoping now that my dose went up, I'll see some more soon.

That's great Joey. I wonder a lot about the mood changes and emotions, but it looks like it's pretty different for everyone.

Joey,

Welcome to being a guy, just do this girl a favor and don't become an a**, like most bio men seem to be.

Why such a low dose for so long?

Thanks for the grats! :)

Mister - I was supposed to have bloodwork done after 3 months, but my work schedule kept me from doing so. Then I went on a semi-long vacation, so I just got the chance to have it all done a week ago.
