Seven Month Update... it's been a while!

I know, I know, it has been a LONG time since I have updated here! I still made a few videos since the last blog post, I have just been so busy with work lately it's been a little ridiculous. Last month was my birthday, 29 years old, wow. Time sure does fly, it still feels like just a day or 2 ago I started T and it's already been 7 and a half months! I am finally starting to grow noticeable chin hairs (yay!) and leg hair is still coming in more and more every day. I've also noticed my voice drop again within the last month or 2. I've also been gaining weight (not the good weight) which sucks, that is one side affect I'm not too happy about hah. Oh well, I really just need to get my lazy ass back into working out and I'm sure I can lose it quickly. Also I have noticed within the past couple months, I have been experiencing horrible headaches. Not sure if it is T related or could just be the changing of seasons and temperatures and whatnot. I just wanted to note that so I can reflect on it in my next update..


*Non-transition related update: I bought a new truck!! B-day gift to myself that I'll be paying for for the next 6 years haha, but I'm super happy with it. #upgrade


Alright, here's a video.

5.5 Months on T- up my dose!

Yesterday, August 13th, 2014, I went to see my endocrinologist for my 6 month check up (a little early.) I was so happy to find out that she in fact did prescribe me 0.2ml per week injections and my pharmacy messed up and printed 0.1ml on my bottle. So... luckily, although this is not something I'm entirely proud of, or recommend... I couldn't even pull only 0.1 into the syringe, so most weeks I was actually injecting 0.2 anyway. But as of yesterday, I have been bumped up to .4ml per week :] I'm so stoked, I think a lot of the changes I have been waiting to see are going to start happening a lot more rapidly. I'm seeing a little bit more hair coming in on my chin, however it is still blonde and very thin. Here's a picture, I shaved about 4-5 days ago, although you really can't see much still lol.


I also made another quick video about my appointment with my endo, and just a general life update because yesterday was a pretty good day. :]

Five Months on Testosterone (5 months on T)

Here is a quick update for August 8 (although I'm writing, and posting this on my blog on the 9th.). I cover quite a bit in the video,  I also ramble a little bit too much, so I'm sorry it's kind of a longer video. I'm all-in-all pretty happy at this moment in my life. I do, however, seem to hear from my girlfriend more frequently that I can be quite an asshole. I also notice that I am much more quick to speak my mind (usually when I should just keep quiet), and more often than not, I speak my mind in a far more aggressive/angry manner than I normally would. I don't necessarily think this does or does not have anything to do with, or is a side effect of being on testosterone. I don't have an explanation to be honest, I just know that I'm noticing it, and that I want to point it out at this time, to look back on.



After watching this video back I realized that maybe my voice did get a little deeper, but still..

3 (Three) Months on Testosterone Update

It has been quite a while since I have posted anything on here, or made a video... but today I am doing both! I'm proud to say I have officially been taking testosterone hormone replacement therapy for 3 months and 6 days. Today, June 11th, I filed for my name change, you can hear more about that in the video,  but I already heard back from them and my court date is July 31st... I can't wait :) Things have been going pretty great in all aspects of my life right now; family, girlfriend, health and wellness, financial, work, and leisure. I'm just enjoying one day at a time, noticing each and every small change as I shift into the body my soul has longed to be living in for such a long time. I feel so grateful, privileged, proud, and impressed.

1.5 (1 and 1/2) Months on T update



Once again, I have a video to share but haven't had much time to sit down and write some of my thoughts and experiences, which is why I made a blog instead of a youtube channel, but I guess this will do for now.

One Month on Testosterone

I really wanted to blog more about my first month on T, however... I have been too busy to think about what to write, let alone actually write. So here's a video!
