I am on my third day of T, and I know all about it, and read a lot about it, but when you are experiencing it finally it is different you know?

I am just wondering if someone who has been on T for, a few months, or a few years (who still remembers the beginning) be willing to PM me, to tell me more about what I should be expecting?

Someone who can maybe answer my questions, talk about how they felt, and the changes they were feeling, day 1, 2, week 2, month 1 etc.

Can we also reply in the forum?

sure if you would like

First changes from my personal experiences:

Psychological - but that was just by knowing you get your T - so it was just a placebo effect:
happyness all over. Getting shot for the first time was like an initiation rite for a boy in a tribe. I had to fight for it for a long time, with myself and with the shrinks, and it does not hurt much but syringes freak me out as hell. Wow, I'm finally gonna grow up now physically. Okay, I was grown up before, but as a female, and to me this just felt wrong, not grown up.

After 2-3 days:
libido increases like hell
you start smelling like a guy
In my case, it was in mid-summer, so that was very confusing and somewhat unpleasant, but okay.

After 1 month:
First beard hairs appearing at my chin. (two or three)
First hairs appearing on the inner side of my thighs.
First shy hints at a happy trail appearing.
Hairs on my underarms getting more pronounced.
Voice dropped further down suddenly, throat aches, bad control of my voices. (had some drop down of voice before after I got off from female hormones one year before T, my natural hormone levels are in-between male and female)
libido still very high

After 3 months:
Further voice drop
Fat redistribution on my face
More hairs on my chin, happy trail, inside of thighs, underarms.
Muscles started building up.
Muscles hurt and made weird things (cramps etc.).
Started to have an ambiguous passing: butch lesbian/14-year-old boy. (Before: almost no passing.)
libido still very high.

Etc.

thanks, Deff feeling the first half of it already, the psychological for sure, and the libido increase.. I'm not really sure how to sniff myself though lol so I wouldn't know about that.

Thanks for all of the details fencesitter

Don't shower for one or two days, or do sports and sweat. You'll smell the difference...

I have a kind of disability, not important, but I can smell almost nothing.Never could smell natural women's smell even when I was close to them, but always could smell guys' smell when I was close enough.  I could smell myself while being on T though.

In the beginning, mentally I finally felt normal, and relieved.  I did notice an increased sex drive, increased body temperature, and initial voice changes.

Most changes are so gradual you don't notice them.

This. Plus people around you alot don't notice as much as well.

For me....the people around me noticed before I did on some changes.

You'll notice the change in urine smell, it's much stronger on T.
