Walked into planned parenthood for my first appointment, I was amazed that I wasnt psychologically interrogated to determine if I was trans enough and they gave me the first dose same day. Im ecstatic, honestly.

So now that Im officially on it what can I expect, are any of the feelings mostly psychological at this point or if my body can in some way feel it working. I Besides feeling energetic I kind of feel like my body had been tingling, and then maybe slightly sore in some places, but in a good way, if that makes sense.

My doctor gave me a watered down <not allowed> mL of T for my first dose at the clinic and recommends <not allowed> mL (not watered down) once a week.

Pretty excited to get started at this point

Would you like this moved into the sub folder of Testosterone?

Move to Testosterone, Joanna.

In general, I felt a little more positive mentally just knowing that I was on T. I started having changes during the first week, so if I had any "is this all in my head" feelings, they were gone pretty quick because I had clear visual and audible evidence that it wasn't in my head. If that helps.

Like Max I felt better psychologically because I was on it. But I don't think I felt genuinely like the dysphoria was starting to ebb away until the 3 month mark. You're going to see some minor changes until then. But I didn't feel like I was really making any progress until 4 months on T; because up to then I just felt like an awkward teenager going through puberty and I still didn't see any noticeable fat redistribution face wise.

I had a bit of a headache for the first month or so, but generally felt like I had more energy...and calm.  I felt an amazing sense of calm...if that makes sense.  I did not have any noticeable physical changes until about the third month, when my voice started dropping.
