Within the first week I experienced an increase in energy& "junk" growth.

No scratchiness or tightness of my throat - I have never experienced it& tomorrow marks month 6 from starting T 12/8/12. My voice is much deeper than pre-t but just never got that scratchiness/soreness/tightness.

Like several others have said, it's all different for every individual -- but congrats on starting T, man. That's awesome!

Funny how many different experiences guys have with their throats. Even this year, when my voice dropped again (just a little bit), I was having the tickly throat thing for days beforehand. It's fairly distracting and can send me into a coughing fit. I always feel that I need to clear my throat, and there's nothing there TO clear. Then, bam, my voice goes down a little bit more.

I'm holding out for a bass, but I don't think there's much chance.

My first week I experienced growth down there and a change in the smell immediately the next day. All I wanted to do for the first three days was sleep and eat- but I think that was more from the completely unexpected (and my first ever) anxiety attack I experienced when I got my shot.

It was way worse then, but to this day I still sleep a lot. I was never the kind of person that could sleep past like 9:30- lately I have a hard time getting out of bed before noon- which has really sucked for my job haha. If I let myself there are days I could sleep til 2- which is something way unusual for me. I used to be good with about 8 hours, but if I don't get at least 9 I feel way wiped out and I feel the best when I get about 10 and a half to 11 hours. It's ridiculous, haha.

I didn't experience anything else my first week- I didn't experience the sore throat and voice drop until exactly a week from my shot, but after it started it just kept dropping and dropping every week and would crack. It evened out at about 2 months after getting significantly deeper, and scareing some famliy members on the phone haha.  (I'm 3 and half months now)- but every once in a while, like yesterday, I'll notice another (smaller) drop but without the symptoms. But I guess I'm kind of an early bloomer.

sex drive and thinking of food every sec of every day... Nahh.. i didnt really find anythink for the 1st week.. apart from tunes of hair on my belly... lol.. but really.. after a while. all ur think about is sex and food. enjoy

I got a really dry mouth about half an hour after my first shot that would NOT go away no matter how much I drank. I got a sore throat the next day and continued to have it for most of that month with the dryness coming and going normally just before I went to bed. Despite that there was no obvious change in my voice till a month and a half in.

I also felt more energetic, plus before if I didn't get much sleep I would be dead on my feet all day now I'm fine and it's been that way since the first week

When did you start? We're at pretty much the same stage.    I do my 6th shot tomorrow.  I have had pretty much the exact same reaction time which I was super ecited about because I kept reading about people not seeing much in the 1st couple of months.  I also have to legit shave because my chin is growing in weird patches haha.

I started on April 23 - from your sig ticker it looks like I'm just a few days ahead of you. I had my 4th shot this past Tuesday (I'm on an every other week schedule). I just did my first legit shave this week because I'm starting to get some thick dark hairs in the sideburn region and my "early teen" style mustache kept making people think I was 14.

It's nice to finally find someone who's experiencing changes at a similar rate to me! We'll have to compare every few months and see how we're doing!

I was really tired for the first few days and I got a sore throat but that was it. I can't remember when I first got hot flushes, I think they started somewhen in the first month though.

Absolutely!  It'll be interesting to compare haha.  You started about a week and a half before me; I was May 4th (which if you're a Star Wars geek like me you realize how funny that is haha).  I had some dark ones along the sideburn, but because of how my hair is cut I could always tell people I needed a hair cut (I do my sideburns when I cut my hair), but the weird patches on my chin would be harder so I've been shaving for a couple of weeks now.  It's so nice, however just like any pubecent boy; the novelty will wear off I'm sure lol.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I just had my second injection this evening. I asked my doctor if it would be alright to do it a day early just so that I could make Mondays my shot day so once I got the okay I went ahead and got the week started on my terms. 

Last week really was... uneventful lol. Physical changes anyway. Mentally and emotionally is another story. I was having a talk with my lady tonight and asked her if she had noticed any changes in my personality this week, or even today which from what I have read I may have been acting a bit moody since my weekly injection was soon due. She mentioned how "mellow" I have been this past week, which made me laugh a bit because I have felt much more laid back and at ease as well. I wasn't sure if it was perhaps me still riding my high or if maybe the T really did have a hand in it. I was actually incredibly happy to hear her say that, good to know it wasn't just in my head. I have a strong character; often caught up in my own thoughts, thinking of everything that I need to do, what is next to do, etc. Some have called me intense when referring to my overall demeanor so I was definitely mindful of my mood and attitude this past week. Truly hoping that aggressiveness wouldn't find it's way in. But none of it, on the contrary, I have been so relaxed and calm about things. And deep down I feel almost a sense of... strengthened conviction? Not sure if that is the right wording to describe what I feel but I simply feel more, myself. If that makes sense.

I have not experienced an increase in appetite. My sex drive, I would say it came in spurts lol. I wouldn't be thinking of it constantly nor was I needing it, but there were moments during the day when she would be beside me... and next thing you know I simply HAD to have her. Is that normal for others? I imagined that the increase in sex drive would be in the sense of it always being on my mind, or always feeling that need. But what I have been experiencing is different, almost like a switch goes off.   

And thankfully... I have found myself with an increase in energy! To help with the sexual spurts lol.
