I haven’t done one of hear in a while but I thought it might help people to hear where I’m at at this length of time on t. A lot of people who intend to stop T stop after 6-12 months, not that I intend to, but hearing this might help people get a sense of where that could take them to in terms of changes. Obviously though, your mileage nay vary.
I started on half a tube of testim per day, which was 25mg of T in the gel in the tube. At about 4 months that was upped to a whole tube per day. My levels were in the male range but on the low end and I wanted them to be a bit higher. Since upping my dose I’ve felt a lot more stable somehow, and where before my T levels somehow FELT low, they feel right now.
I haven’t noticed much in the way of facial hair changes, which is a bit frustrating. I’m hoping that I’ll have something by a year on T but am aware that my brother is 17 and barely needs to shave so I’ve a way to go yet. It is getting raspier, but even a weeks growth doesn’t show much yet. I think my sideburns will cone in first though, which is a shame because I want a goatee rather.
The rest of my body is getting hairier, my lower legs are pretty good now, my thighs are getting there, ditto my snail trail. The two places i really want hair are my arms and chest, but my brother doesn’t even have a snail trail, so I’m not holding out much hope. I’d wanted to have hair to cover top surgery scars but that doesn’t look likely to happen. If I get my arm scars a little more covered I’ll be happy though. My armpit hair has grown a lot. I’m away with my parents by the sea, so hopefully will get to see how much torso hair my father has.
I’m definitely getting more muscles, but I’ve also gained ten pounds since starting T. I’ve now got a bet on with my family regarding losing thirty pounds by Christmas, which can be done at a safe and healthy speed. My eventual goal is 120, and I’m 160 now. I’m hoping that as I lose this weight my muscles will become more visible and defined, I’d like to end up with the vague idea of abs, and decent arms. My legs suck anyway so I don’t expect much from them! I’ve heard guys say that gaining and losing weight are both easier on T. I hope so. To give an idea of what I’m eating, yesterday I had a glass of apple juice, a punnet of strawberries, two slices of bread worth of ham sandwich, a plate of pasta with vegetables, a third of a raw cabbage, and several glasses of water. I’m hoping if I can keep this up that I’ll be at 120lbs by one year on T, which will make top surgery easier, because, in my opinion, the results look more male on slim muscled guys, and I want the best results possible.
I tend to have one or two spots on my face at any time, but that’s all and trust me, I’m fine with that as a price for starting T! I used to have really bad eczema and that’s a lot better too.
My libido feels like it’s about average male, which I’m happy enough with.
I wasn’t in track with myself enough really to know if my appetite has grown
My cock hasn’t grown much since two or three months on T, and remains sadly small.
My voice is now a solid baritone, my singing has improved, and I’m really happy. It no longer cracks when I speak, but hasn’t fully settled yet either.
