One Month!
I started T on Feb 13th (Friday the 13th), and today is March 13th (Friday the 13th)! So it is official, it has been one month on testosterone.
So changes. I have noticed:
1. Voice – It’s all over the place, sometimes low, sometimes where I started, sometimes in the middle. My friends have told me that it really is getting lower, and its not going up as high as I thought it was.
2. Oil – I am so greasy it’s gross. My face is breaking out, and I have to wash my face at least twice a day to just feel clean. I am going to have to get in the habit of cleaning myself more often so that my acne does not get out of control….though it will probably get bad anyways because it did when I was going through puberty the first time.
3. Body – Some body mass is moving around, I can see my arms getting a little bigger without having worked out. My face also looks a little different. I am going through that “puffy phase” where my face gets kinda fat. Oh and of course, my click (a word I use because it’s a combination of “clit” and “dick” and I feel strange using one or the other right now) is getting bigger.
4. Hunger – I am hungry all the time. Seriously. My bottomless pit of an appetite is back. I crave the junk I used to eat in high school (read fast food only), and I am so hungry and poor all the time that I’ve been letting myself eat it. I need to change that habit though so that my skin doesn’t have more problems then it already does.
5. Focus – This may be unrelated, but I am having a really hard time focusing on work. Usually if it’s “crunch time” I focus insanely well, blocking out distractions, and using the stress to get fire under my butt so to speak. However, my usual methods (stressing, drinking coffee, drinking red bull, changing location of study — trying both quite and loud places) did nothing. It took me THREE DAYS to finish a paper that I normally would have been able to write in one. Next time I’ll just have to plan ahead.
I recorded my voice and took pictures, but my internet is being slow, so I will add them later today.
