Title: Starting T!
Post by: Devin87 on April 16, 2010, 11:15:29 AM
So I talked to my doctor and she's gonna let me start on a low dose T cream without even needing a letter!  I talked to her about taking the dhea and stuff and she said if I'm gonna do that anyway, she'd rather me be on the low dose cream because she can control that better.  I'm not expecting huge, fast results because it is a very low dose, but it'll make me feel better until I get on a higher dose, which I want to go to therapy before I go on.

Wow, your doctor sounds like a cool one!  8) The sooner, the better, and I guess even a small amount of T is better than none :D

I know it's only been a few days now, but how are you feeling?

Post by: Devin87 on April 23, 2010, 05:54:11 PM
I'm feeling pretty good.  More... me.  I obviously haven't noticed a single physical change yet, but it's good just to go through life without worry about if I'm ever going to get t into my system.

I like that answer, 'More me'.
That is always a bonus.

So I've been on T about 2 1/2 weeks and I just looked in the mirror while brushing my teeth and discovered a whole slew of new chin hairs!  (this is where I have to resist that girly "yay!" habit I forced upon myself and now can't get rid of)  I used to have three or four chin hairs but now I've got 10 or so little guys sprouting up.  I also just noticed that my sideburn hair (I had sideburns that came down to halfway between my ear and chin pre-t) is growing back faster.  I used to shave it once a week and it would just be barely stubble at the end of the week, but I just shaved it on Thursday night and it's already looking like it's gonna need another shave before work tomorrow morning.   ;D  I wasn't expecting any of this so soon.
