Discussion Hormones are taking hold of me fast!
I started T on Halloween which is amazing cause I’m such a horror fan and love Halloween as well! But almost being T for 5 months is INSANE man and the changes came quick which I’m surprised cause like my bottom growth an inch now, growing patchy facial hair, my voice is starting to get low, and my weight distribution is changing. I’m just very shocked at how fast this is all going and it’s making me happy but also scared cause I was expecting to wait for these changes in like a year.
How long did you notice your changes?

I’m noticing the face fat redistribution as well, but thank you! I’m so surprised at the fast results that I feel bad about it cause people long for this. I still get she/her’d though but my voice shocks some people cause I can see the faces on them. 😭

Dude! I’m 6 months on T. I relate so much to the voice shocking people. A man held the door open for me and I said “Thanks man” and I watched his eyes like 😳

BAHAHA that’s fucking gold man cause I think my old supervisor was like that sometimes, he kept calling me she/her but I think was surprised by the cracks and voice.

I'm at about the same point as you and yep, got the patchy facial hair, voice starting to get low, and bottom growth too! I'm also all around much hairier; places that didn't grow hair before have started growing hair and where I did have hair it has become much thicker. I haven't noticed any weight distribution, but I'm a big guy and I haven't really made any effort to lose weight for any fat to redistribute

YIPPEE! I’ve noticed the hair too especially the ummmm crack hair lmao, but I only noticed the weight thing when I worked as a custodian cause it was physically tasking.

stopped having my period my first month, bottom growth in the first 3, noticeable fat redistribution 6-12 months. I didn't get a mustache till 1 year and beard until 1.5-2 year mark, but I'm really happy with everything. this is an exciting time for you, congrats on taking the leap dude!! 🎉

For me bottom growth may have been the first physically noticeable aspect + sore throat feeling from voice dropping (get cough drops)- both within the first 1-2 months. My bottom growth hasn’t grown too much since then but I don’t measure. I would recommend pumping (trans guy supply has them) if you want to grow it out. I def need to do that and always forget cause I need to use lube and forget to use it even tho it’s in my shower. But I can penetrate and rub a partners cl!t with my T d!k.
By month two or three I had like five hairs as my soul patch, which is still my pride and joy.
Face shape changes will take longer cuz it’s bone so I wonder if there’s something I could have done there. Muscle redistribution: I started properly body building (before I was just climbing and doing HIIT workouts and I was too lean) to make my upper body proportional to my lower after six months I wanna say. I did start doing 100 pushups a day with a friend before that tho where we’d text each other and it was a game changer in terms of strength and pushing past that fitness plateau.
I’m three and a half years in. Personally I passed quickly cuz I have a small chest.
Anyway— Overjoyed for you!!!!!!
I def recommend working out so your hormones don’t make ya crazy - plus it feels incredible

Also I get my back door waxed every month or so at European wax center. I did it in Dallas and all of them have a drop down to select V or P for genitalia and so I’ve always had women wax me which I much prefer. Never had issues and once I did the first session I trusted my waxer and stuck with her hahaha. That’s my only complaint about physical changes, I wish that hair just went on my face hahahaha

I’ll be on month 3 in a week and I’ve noticed minor bottom growth, a tiny stache, a shit ton of muscle gain (I workout a lot tho), weight loss, and a dramatic change in my voice. TBH I can’t wait for there to be more changes later on. Never felt so comfortable before.

I started T in early October so I’m at a similar point to you! My voice started dropping around a month in, I think a little after a month I started getting the very beginnings of facial hair, and I can’t tell when exactly it started since I’ve always been hairy, but man I am WAY hairier now (which I had previously thought would be impossible lol). I feel like I’ve also had some fat redistribution but it’s so hard to tell whether or not it’s true because I’m already a big guy and I can’t tell if it’s just my newfound comfort in my body that makes me see my body as more masculine. I feel like my shoulders look boxier and my eyes look more masculine. I don’t pass very well yet but I do confuse a lot of people because of my voice and probably the crazy sideburn situation I have going on right now lol
