Title: Just wondering
Post by: KamAus on January 13, 2011, 01:32:44 PM
So for those guys on here who are on T, when did you start to experience changes? I keep reading of guys with downstairs growth sometimes overnight from their first shot or just a little of something. I've read that alot. I havent experienced anything but a bit of tingling. I know everyone is different and alot of changes wont start for a while yet. I know some guys have said after their shot they felt like they had so much energy and that but for me I feel no different. I just feel the same.

I've been trying to go through all the posts here but I'm still very curious.

Well some guys experience changes really fast I assume because they started with the correct dose for them. Some experience changes too slowly because they were started with a too high or too low dose (too high can be converted back to estrogen).

For me I noticed downstairs growth after the first week. It wasn't what I was expecting growth to be like so I almost didn't notice it, but it stuck out more. I got the tingling too, and it's almost been sore I assume from growing so fast. It's taken a month for me to notice any hair changes. My mustache is a little darker and I have to shave a bit more frequently, and my leg/arm/belly hairs are getting darker and longer. Nowhere near where they should be but still definitely different. My voice cracked week two, but I haven't done a recording to compare pre-t to now so I dunno quite how much it has changed, but my girlfriend who basically devotes all her time to noticing pitch changes noticed it (she builds flutes). I feel like I have less energy, as apposed to what you say about more. Similar to natal guys going through puberty sleep a lot more, testosterone for us will make us tired at first.

Congrats on starting T!

It's actually be two days but that ticker is like a day behind lol. I'm just curious is all. But yea, the tingling is like there alot. It's kinda wierd but cool lol.

@Morgan - Thanks for that. Definitely put a smile to my face :) Did you get tingling on any other parts of your body coz I've been also getting it on the sides of my head and a bit on my hands and I didn't have that before ever.

Congrats on starting T! My downstairs growth started after a day or two. Nothing dramatic but enough that it was noticeable. I noticed a shift in voice like.. one to two weeks in but it was only a tiny drop (kinda like i have a cold at all times). Other changes have been minor but nothing that I can name.

I didn't really notice anything till about a month give or take a couple of weeks so don't be too worried if you don't notice anything yet.
