Title: I am officially on T!!!!!
Post by: Elijah3291 on September 20, 2010, 10:25:45 AM
Hey guys, at long last, I went to see my endocrinologist and he gave me my first shot.  He was super friendly, I am gettign walgreens to fill out my prescription now.

Got my first shot in my butt cheek, September 20, 2010 at 9:38 is my official T day (AND my mothers birthday)

to all of they guys waiting for T, hang in there.  I know how it feels to see everyone around you get T, and you not having any, stay strong and you will be on your way soon.

Happy T-day!

This is a hell of a step in transition and it's cool you get to have it on your mom's bday. (Happy bday to mom too ;) )

Thanks for your words of encouragement as well. Sometimes it's easy to get down and depressed when you see someone leap ahead in their transition and you feel like you're still at the starting gates. But it's important to remember that we all have to move at our own pace and we'll get to where we need to go one way or another. 8)

no problem at all man.  I said it because I know how I felt when guys posted that they got T.  I wanted to feel happy for them, but I couldn't help but feel bitter because I wanted to be in their shoes.

Finaly some forward momentum to end the stagnation you were in. Betcha feel pretty awesome right now.
Exciting to start HRT isnt it? My first day I got my pills I was shaking so hard I almost spilled my pills and after I took my first dose I started crying from relief and joy.
Starting HRT is one of the bigest steps you can take.
I look forward to seeing how you mature into your manhood.
Best of luck and wishes dude.

Hugz and affection,
Cynthia Lee

Congratulations! When I start T, I'm going to start to take a picture of myself every day so after about a year on T, I can put together a video of it and watch myself change. I think that'll be pretty awesome.

I like the idea of a pic a day for a year. I bet a project like that would make for really interesting videos.
