Hi! I feel very dysphoric and just want to make a post about it here, because I dont know where else to go. I also dont know if there alreasy is a thread like this that exists, and if there is I'm sorry.

So I have been on testosterone for a little less than 2 months now and pretty much nothing has changed. Therefore, I'm wondering if my dose is lower than other peoples?

I feel so dysphoric cause I knew before starting that it was gonna take some time, but I was at least expecting a voice drop to show off when school starts. Now I feel so bad because I told some people that I started T, when summer vacation started, and now I come back with basically no changes, which feels awful (school starts Aug 19th).

Watching all these people on YouTube, their voices starts to change like one week in or at least a month in, but no, nothing for me.

Anywho, I'd just like to know when you started seeing changes (that other people could notice) and what your dosage was/is, and also how often you took/take it. It would be great to hear and also be interesting to know.

Thanks :)

Discussion of exact dosage is not encouraged because of possible misuse...

There were a few trans men who looked into voice changes and singing...
they also started out on a lower dose for three months. They said this way the larynx might expand more naturally.
You might look up their stories.

So it might be a good idea to take it slow in the beginning.

And people are different... not all people react soon on the same dose.

You might give it some time... after a few months there should be heaps of effects...

First off, I can tell you posting doses is against the forum rules, so I'm sure a mod will be by to edit them out of your post in a minute.

As far as noticeable changes, I noticed longer cheek/sideburn fuzz after just a few days, 2-3, and my mom agreed she could see it after I'd pointed it out. I'm not quite sure when people started commenting on changes on their own accord, but the voice change was about the first thing people commented on, especially when it started cracking. That happened maybe around month 1.5-2, but it REALLY dropped around 3 months.

What they said. Discussion of dosages is not permitted on this forum. I'm sorry you are feeling dysphoric but talking about dosages is not the way to deal with it.

Topic locked and your dosages edited out.
