Hey guys,
I've been slowly bumping up my T dosage and am how at about 1/2 the regular dosage. I plan to keep it there for a while.  Downstairs growth has been slow and fairly modest.  Will I have the growth spurt later on that everyone has with full dose?

Not everyone gets a lot of growth.  I certainly didn't.  I barely grew, and I've been on T for nearly 5 years.  I think it's not heard about within the trans male community because it's a somewhat frowned upon topic, plus who wants to admit he has a small dick.

Same here

Yep, same for me.  Nothing to write home about.

I was on a 1/2 dose for roughly 7 months, and I did not experience much increased growth when I moved to a full dose. Most of my growth happened around 2-5 months. You may just be one of the people who doesn't grow much.

thanks for the replies, guys.  I guess I need to adjust my expectations. 

I guess it depends on the person because I was surprised about my growth after only being on T for 2 months and I was started off with a regular dose. It's still tiny of course. But maybe it's because I started off bigger, I don't know.

I started on a low dose and only noticed a small amount of growth in the first 3 weeks. Then it stopped completely, even when I later went suddenly to what I believe will be my full dose, 3x what it was. But no extra growth =/

I definitely had a bump in growth when I went full dose.

I was initially planning on trying a lower dose of T and then slowly working my way up, in the hopes that it would give me more of a chance to see growth. But maybe I'm just being too hopeful.

I've seen quite a bit of results online, both really good and really disappointing, so it's kinda frightening not knowing what to realistically expect. I think seeing all the disappointing results is what makes me want to try so hard for growth. Before I get on T, I'm going to get back into pumping, and I'm taking Yohimbine HCl and Horny Goat Weed for downstairs circulation. I may even end up trying pumping with a cream before actually deciding to try T (as much as I want to start right away).

With all this effort I put in, I'm going to be sadly mistaken when I get little to no results. -_- I get the feeling guys in my family aren't very well-endowed, and I certainly don't have anything spectacular to start off with...

That's not how it works.  Low dose T is not a guarantee of changes happening more slowly, nor does it make the changes stronger.  Testosterone is testosterone, no matter if you are getting a lower dose in the beginning, or a "standard" dose from the beginning.

Mine seems to go through growth spurts. I was on a half dose for my first month. In the first three months, I had noticeable growth. At six months I started pumping and that seems to have also helped a bit in terms of increasing circulation - it is definitely noticeable now when I'm "happy".

On pumping... have you seen lasting results are only temporary?

From what I've heard, pumping typically only works if you do it at least a couple times a day for a long stretch of time.

Chase Ross did a pretty informative video on pumping, I'll see whether I can find it (found it):

thanks for the video~!

Almost three months in and--according to the internet--I've had only very modest growth. It was impossible to see before, so maybe this is actually a fair amount of growth.

I've gone from being distressed about it to not really giving a fig. My current love interest likes the lil' guy just it way it is, and that's given me a good ol' boost in the self esteem department.

Congrats on your current main squeeze! Glad things are going well for you.
