Hey guys,
I've been low dose for a while now and hope to go full dose soon.  I'm looking forward to it. 
Anyone care to share how the changes from T has made their lives better?
So far, on low dose, some of the little things that have happened for me are:
Better sense of well-being
Hairy forearm (just the right one.  Not the left one. Hope it catches up soon
also, hairy thighs
Broader shoulders-- I've been working out like crazy and for the first time ever, I"m seeing results. I'm loving that I can see my shoulders in my peripheral vision
Hairline is moving back into M shape--it was low on my forehead and very round, so I had to pull bangs down.
My feet are getting vascular
The few notes lower my voice as dropped.  Looking forward to a lot more of this


But now, it feels like I've pretty much stablized in this low dose, femme just short of andro.   

What can I expect when I start full dose?

You seem to have better changes than me in terms of hairline recession. Hairline still where it was pre-T.
Only changes I've liked was facial hair (it's coming fast) and voice.

I'm still waiting for cheek fat to thin and hairline to square out.

I've got maybe  a half dozen under the neck hairs and a few strays on my chin and the sides of my mouth. Nothing impressive.  But if I hold my chin just right, I can pretend I have beard shadow under my chin 

I'm SO looking forward to the voice change.  I've got a couple of friends who say it's already low enough to pass, but it doesn't.  Maybe I should pay better attention to cadence and pattern?  But I have this strange aversion to changing anything 'on purpose'. Like I'm faking it, when I am SO TIRED of faking it.

I'm trying to come to terms with having a mix of femme and masculine, b/c I've been socialized for so long as femme.  I am working on letting  go the actions/reactions that I've assumed in the past to fit in but aren't me.

The hairline thing has been very gradual and very subtle. Although I've got to admit, I keep checking worriedly for thinning on top. So far, nada that I can tell.

My voice is amazing now. I never get misgendered anymore, and I actually like the sound of it, so I'm speaking a lot more.

My body hair is filling in pretty nicely. I'm hoping it starts to fill in on my chest after top surgery.

My facial hair is coming in pretty patchy, but somethings better than nothing.

Overall I just feel better. I look at old pictures of myself and just think, "Wow, who's that girl? She looks so sad."

EVERY. THING

Nothing not to like. Only thing I dont like is how long its taking any resemblance of a beard to come in lol. Its under my chin and only there. Nothing else happening. Slow coming in, patchy and needs to fill in. I am just under a year though so theres a long way to go. Other than this everything is great. Wish I had done this a loooooong time ago

My voice going low definetly has helped me the most and I feel much more confident in social situations because of it (shouting pairings in a Magic the Gathering tournament, anyone?). Pre-T I was able to pass appearance-wise but the moment I said something... Nope. And I admit it, I kinda like my voice now. Wouldn't mind it being lower, though.

All progress with facial hair is a plus. Especially when it takes its sweet time to grow. 2+ years on T and I just have this pathetic excuse of 'stache going on. |D Oh, and THREE longer and thicker hairs on my lower lip, surprisingly located neatly around the piercing. Oh well, they say good things are worth waiting for so maybe I'll have be able to grow a viking beard in few years?

Pretty much the only thing I don't like is the acne, it's pretty terrible. However, it's a lot better than it used to be. It got kinda out of hand when I was on Sustanon but now it got better after I switched to Nebido and I also found this one face wash gel that actually does something about it.

As for things making my life better- just feeling more comfortable in my body! That helps out with everything.

As for what to expect when moving up to a full dose- I recently finally moved up to a full dose and since then I've noticed my hair growth speed up (like the amount of new hair appearing like on my stomach) and fat redistribution became a little more noticeable as well. I also got hot flashes again, this time worse than when I first started T (went away now though), and I finally noticed the decreased sensitivity to cold/ increased sensitivity to warmth that some people report. My hair texture changed a little bit. Also noticing muscle mass increased again (without working out much). Also my voice seems to be more steadily dropping rather than the drop-exact same-drop-exact same-drop thing it was doing. (Like it'd drop within a week then go two months exactly the same, then drop noticeably within a week again.)

Yay! Really looking forward to this!  My voice is doing that drop-same thing, too.  But the drop is barely noticeable. Looking forward to more muscle mass.  Mine seems to have dropped off now, even with heavy workouts.

im about 2 months on T. I kind already had facial hair(under my chin) pre T due to PCOS but now its creeping up to the top of my chin. My voice has always been able to pass bc it never has been very feminine. I do feel like its getting lower.. and I def can't make my voice go high like I used to be able too. I'm getting more hair on my upper lip but its still blonde. Either way, i feel 100 times better on T. I am excited for more changes to occur! I am also excited when I get my hysto and ovaries gone in just 3 weeks. Then I can work on saving for top and bottom surgeries and be almost half way to where I want to be.

My voice and the amount of facial hair growing in makes just over a year on testosterone all worth it for me. I've got a good left sideburn lmao the right isnt coming in as well as the left. They're not brothers yet. I have a light chin strap, my soul patch shows signs of connecting and the hair is slowly crawling up my face.

My voice gives me a lot of confidence. It sounds pretty cisgendered and isn't high at all! It's actually lower than my cisgendered bio brother's voice :^)!!!!
