    Congrats friend! Have you noticed many changes yet? I don’t know much about tHRT because well, I already went through male puberty and it just wasn’t for me :P

    But I’m interested to know what some of the first changes folk tend to notice on T :)

      I’m on a low dose cuz I don’t want my voice to change too quickly and damage it, but the first thing I got in the first couple of weeks was significantly improved mood. I’m still way less depressed than I used to be even three months later and haven’t changed my lifestyle at all. Had ADHD medication issues which did impact it some. Got some belly hairs and my leg and arm hair are getting slightly thicker and darker. I have more acne than I used to. My face looks slightly more masculine. My voice has occasionally started to crack and feel different. I stink way more now and sweat mainly in my armpits. The main thing I want is body fat redistribution but that hasn’t come yet, unfortunately. Always have to wear shapewear so I don’t get debilitating dysphoria around the bottom half of my body. But hey, something’s better than nothing. I’m so thankful I finally get to be on T.
