I went to the doctor on the 15th, and I am here to update you on my progress. My prescription has been increased from .5mg a week to .6mg.
I have now been on "T" for 6 weeks. In those 6 weeks, my blood pressure and pulse have become more "normal", I have gained 12 pounds and my Testosterone level went from a whooping 30 to 734. All in the FIRST month! =0)
Other changes I have noticed, my voice is much deeper now. My upper body is beginning to "fill out," some of my T~shirts don't fit the same anymore and I need to buy a new binder as the one I have now is becoming too tight. I have also now officially grown out of any jeans smaller than a men's size 30 or 31 in the waist.I still sweat in my sleep but it's not nearly as bad. I have noticed a small change in my temper but nothing aggressive or mean at all. The only time I have been unable to control my temper was the day my script was increased. A few hours after my shot I felt anxious, annoyed by everything, my mind raced, my palms were sweaty and I felt like I was radiating heat. It didn't last long though, which I am thankful for because it was not pleasant. I called my brother in a panic because I wasn't sure how to deal with it, he walked me through a few things and informed me that I wasn't drinking enough water, so after 3 bottles of water and some sleep I was feeling a lot better. I called the doctor the next day to make sure all was ok and she reassured me that it was normal.
My appetite is still crazy, some days I am hungry all day long and others I don't eat as much. I am also beginning to noticed that if I try to focus on too many things at one time, I forget small important details. To fix that I have been making it a point to write down important dates and times or I will forget them all together.
My first signs of facial hair have begun to come in. Right now it is just on the corners of my mouth and near my side burn area, but it's pretty much only "peach fuzz" at this point. Nothing to get to excited about yet, although it is slowly getting there. I have also started to grow hair on my stomach area which most would call the "happy trail." Nothing on the back or neck that I have noticed yet and no real changes in my leg or arm hair.
For the most part I am going by Jayson. Work still seems to be the only place I have an issue and it's only with a handful of people at this point.
I forgot to ask my doctor about the DHEA and vitamins while at my appointment. I may wait another week or so and then ask her. Just to see how my body reacts with my next shot. I don't want to boost my "T" level to high and become angry or mean. So we'll see what happens with that
Now for the more personal (and somewhat graphic information)
My sex drive has increased a little but not much, a few days before my shot is do my sex drive seems to increase dramatically. I am still very sensitive to both pain and pleasure. I am passing more as a male now and have begun to look into STP (stand to pee) devices as it is getting more and more uncomfortable to use the restroom in public places.
So that's where I stand at this point...6 weeks into my transition. I couldn't be happier with my progress at this point. I only hope it continues to be this amazing.
Until next time...love and peace
~Jayson~
