Got my first shot today - the nurse showed me how to do it. Uneventful, no bruising or bleeding, my leg is vaguely sore (mostly feel it in my knee, oddly...nerves are weird). I'll be doing the rest myself at home from now on.
I don't really feel any different yet. Happy, excited, but haven't noticed any real effects of the T itself. I am awfully warm and sweaty but then I have been running around all day. I took a picture with a neutral angle/expression so I can document my progress.
I'm starting on a relatively low dose, as I understand it. The doctor says we'll start low and increase over time. I kind of like that idea - I don't need insta-puberty, and I think both my body and mind could use some time to adapt to the changes.
I'm due to start bleeding sometime in the next week or two, I think, I've been feeling the pre-symptoms. We'll see if it happens. Maybe I'll get lucky and it won't.
To all those still waiting: I'm not trying to rub it in your face
don't give up hope, your day will come!
