I'll be 5 months on T Nov 4th and I don't have any. Nothing but vague blonde peach fuzz (all of my real body hair is dark brown). I want facial hair so badly it's driving me insane. For you guys on T, how long did it take you to get some dark chin hairs?

I had some lightish chin hairs by about 5 months.  It didn't really thicken up until well after the 12-month mark for me.

I've been on T for almost two years and I still don't have any proper facial hair, only the awkward scarce pedo stache.

Some people are just lucky, they have a nice proper beard going on in less than a year and for some it takes years to grow anything noticeable.
One of those things you just can't affect.

I'm at 11 weeks and I already get a little mustache, chin hairs, and my sideburns are starting to come in. It's not a lot yet but it's dark so definitely not peach fuzz.

I really think it's a matter of how testosterone affects you individually...and also genetics.

Remember when you were in middle school and there were those strange kids who already had facial hair? And then for others it wasn't until after high school (5+ years after onset of puberty)

It's like that with us too, as far as I can tell. Some can grow facial hair faster than others.

It went pretty quick for me. I had some beardage going within a year. Now, almost one and a half years, it looks like a proper beard.

3 1/2 years and still nothing. It's mostly genetics.

I'm currently not on T, but I have a healthy amount coming in (as I haven't shaved in almost a year). I'm sure I'll have major results in no time at all.

Somewhere between 6 and 7 months now. There's a few actual coarse beard hairs here and there, but mostly long fluff. I'm certain the sparse hairs looks more comical than anything, but I refuse to shave them. I earned these suckers, I'm wearing 'em.

It took me over a year. Maybe a year and 3 months to have anything resembling actual facial hair. I didn't count the peach fuzz as anything. Fuzz came at about 9 months.

Been on T for 3 weeks but my mustache is coming in more noticeable and my sideburns that touch my jawline are getting thicker. There is quite some hair crawling away from sideburns to my cheeks at this point but I'm not a good comparison. I had a slight mustache and sideburns that touched the jawline before HRT.

It takes time.

I got my first hairs in my mustache a little after 1 month on T. My goatee started around 4 months on T. My sides have just started developing about a month or 2 ago. Everything continues to darken and get longer. It's a slow process.

*sigh* I don't wanna be patient haha. Both of my older brothers could grow beards in high school. My oldest brother wears his covering his whole face. His hair is naturally lighter than me and my other brother, who seems to sport a constant 5 o'clock shadow. I will wait, of course. Hopefully things start happening on my face when I hit the 6 month mark. It'll be weird though, I'm working a seasonal job December to April, so I'll be working there with from months 6-10; I expect a lot of changes will occur during then.

I suggest not expecting facial hair too quickly, it takes a while to develop even in biomales.

Mine started within the 2nd month...

Really?!?!

It boils down to genetics. If your brothers/father/moms side of the family also can grow a good beard than you have a better chance of getting good facial hair. Of course unless scientists could run a genetics line and actually see if you'd grow one or not, there's not a 100% guarantee sadly.

I went in knowing I probably wouldn't have facial hair starting until the later months into the first year and I was super surprised by 3 months I was getting some stuff going about on my chin and side burns. Now 8 months in I have almost a complete chin strap. Of course somewhere in there, my face decided to not grow hair in this weird spot under my chin to match the rest.. so waiting and crossing fingers it does fill in someday. Look kinda funny if I lift my head up >>

Hex, the beard looks great, no need to sweat a little funky spot under the chin. I have facial hair envy over here.

Really?!?!

What good is done by a snitty reply to a well-meaning bit of advice? Marcellow's right, getting your hopes up for a fast-growing beard can easily lead to disappointment.

I've done research for over four years now, I know what expectations to avoid setting for myself. Excuse me for getting a little annoyed when a guy 3 weeks on T, who's already seeing facial hairs, tells me something I already know. After he already told me it takes time. I know it takes time. I'm 5 months on T. And I'm crazy jelly that he's got hair that quickly. Was it snippy and uncalled for of me? Yea. So what?

This is a support forum, that's what. You're 100% entitled to feel annoyed and jealous, but not to lash out on a support forum over it. Not cool.
If somebody's advice isn't helpful to you, ignoring it is arguably a better option than a rude response.

If you have jealousy issues, then that's your problem - don't take your insecurities out on others.  Otherwise, people here are going to be less likely to offer you advice and support if you treat them that way.

These aren't just words on a screen - they're real human beings just like you.
