IM FINALLY ON T!!!!!!! 💚💚💚

OMIGOSH YALL IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!

I've been on T for about a week now and omigosh omigosh omigosh!!!!

I'm on .5 mL (100mg) and am doing bi-weekly injections! I'm planning to start taking finasteride as well once I'm about a month in because male pattern baldness is VERY prevelent in my family (my older brother was already balding at 21). Plus, I don't mind the side effects much (slower/less secondary hair growth, slower bottom growth, etc.).

My best friend and I ended up starting T on the same day with appointments just 15 minutes apart by complete coincidence lol He's doing weekly injections at a half dose. 

I think I want to document some of my experiences here to help other people and shtuff. It's also nice to have a record.

._~0~_.

Unfortunately, my family found out I was starting T and they're convinced it's gonna kill me or something, and keep referring to it as a "drug". Anytime I experience a headache, nose bleed, cramping, etc. they immediately start saying that it could be the testosterone..... like honey i was already paranoid enough on my own and my parents are NOT helping :/

1. I got a nose bleed because I get nosebleeds frequently and the weather has been really funky lately. 

2. My legs were cramping because I was standing and jumping at a concert for 3-4 hours straight. 

3. And I've had a headache since before even starting T. 

I feel like I can't even tell them if something is bothering me anymore because they'll immediately make me paranoid by telling me it's from T and I'm gonna end up in the hospital or some shit. 

Anyway, I'm really excited for all the changes, but starting T also comes with quite a bit of anxiety. Like, what if changes happen and I don't like it? What if changes happen and I still feel like it's not enough? I'm simultaniously worried that it'll be too much or not enough, but the only way to find out what I want and what I like is if I let myself try said things. I won't know if T is right for me if I don't try it, though I'm fairly certain I'll like what it does for me lol

I'm especially excited for the voice drop, but ughhhhh it's gonna take soooo loooonnngggg before i can see any results :p

I'm normally not an impatient person (at least I don't think so) but UGHHHHH alksjf;assgdgkajds

On the brightside, slow changes mean I have more time to sit with each new change and decide if it's what I really want and how I feel about it!

If anyone has any questions about my experience or gender journey, I'm open to answering! If I don't have an answer to a question yet, then I'll save it for when I do <3
