Title: First shot :D
Post by: Morgan on December 18, 2010, 12:08:59 AM
I got my first injection of T today! I'm on a lower dose, but I'm just happy to have it at all. I was supposed to self inject today, but the nurse felt pity for my poor panic-attacky-butt, so she did it for me. It didn't hurt really at all, was just uncomfortable.

It's weird. Until today, I just thought of the effects of T as simply effects.. Now I see it as something that's happening to me/ will happen soon. It's pretty wild!

most other pills and injections we get are to ensure we stay as we were before but T shots and estrogen pills are to change us so thats why we feel it a big thing.

Congrats! So many people getting their T lately, it's wild. I started with a half dose too, I guess it's standard to make sure there are no negative effects.

welcome to the first day or the rest of your life.  Th first few weeks go by slow, each day feels like a week, but it will speed up after a while.

Thanks everyone, really! I've been seeing 'started T!' posts here so much lately, I've been so impatient to finally get my turn  :P Next stop, top surgery  8)

I'm going to be logging everything on my website, http://ftmorgan.webs.com/ (http://ftmorgan.webs.com/) (I'll be getting a new domain name soon haha) so check that out if you're interested. Obviously it doesn't have alot yet but it will someday :icon_rockon:

I'll try to keep an eye on the site. I love transition blogs, I'm keeping one of my own. Obsessive measurements, photos, and recordings are the best.  ;D

Yeah transition logs are the greatest. Ethan's site at FTMtransition.com is what really got the ball rolling for me in the beginning of my transition. He has so much stuff there @_@ So I really based my site off of his. I don't have as much to post as he does yet, but I'm going to be really active on it. What's yours?

I was inspired by that site too too. I can never be as thorough as him, but I'll try. Mine is niksebastian.wordpress.com. Regular blog layout with extra pages for measurements and a timeline. Wordpress is cool. :)

Hey, I just read the news. Congrats, Morgan.

P.S. I started on the so-called full dose, but at my age I didn't want to waste a second. I think my endo felt the same way because he said, "You want to masculinize as soon as possible." Well, most of us do, no matter how old we are...
