im official!!!! Name change went through yesterdaY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im puuuuuummmmpppppeeedddd :] if you couldn’t tell. Im most excited about my new license. no gender marker change but my pic is new and now no longer confusing as all hell.
its been about 2 months(4 injections) of doing my own shots. I use to have someone do them for me but I lost contact with that person so I had to learn to do them on my own. I’m doing them in my leg now and although its freaky to put a 11/2 needle into your own leg it hurts a lot less than having on put into your butt cheek. haha. but for reals. Besides for the freak muscle twitching that happened yesterday everything has been going well. My Endo said that doing my shots on my rear would absorb better but the blood tests that I get every so often prove there is no difference. i guess as long as you are doing them right everything is cool.
on a side note: I pass 99% of the time, even at the doctor’s office. haha. shows you how often people look at that little F on your chart. Still praying that one day I will make enough money to pay for surgery. Im applying for a better paying job now and if I get it Im hoping I can save enough by Christmas of 2012. I try not to dwell on it for too long. Good things come to those who wait, i hope :]
first pic is pre-T for comparison sake.
the others are almost 9 months on T. Holy Hell! How did that happen? The only thing I dont like is the acne, but im working on it. Gotta love the second coming of puberty :]
look at that handsome face! Are you looking? goooooooood. Thats what 6 months of T and outstanding genetics will get you. haha.
so I have this lump forming on my jaw. first i thought it was a T thing, like asymetrical bone growth cuz its on my jaw. but it hurts to touch and I can move it a little but its hard. idk. I waiting to hear back from my endo to see if I need to go see him in Portland or if I should just go to my normal Dr. My face looks all weirdy now, like crooked almost. haha. Anyway, coming up on my 5 months on T :] workin on a voice compilation for my 6 months. and 5 month pics to follow shortly. Later Gators
4months and like a week on T
Changes:
deeper voice
body hair ( on stomach, face, and legs) a lot more in each area
sex drive is more consistantly higher, not as dependent on timing of shot
muscle gain = stronger
facial structure changes, more narrow
Ps: I have my phone consult with Dr. Garramone on Monday. Finally gonna find out how and when I can get surgery. One step closer to shirtless at the beach……who am I kidding. Im going to be shirtless all the damn time :] true story
so im moving forward with figuring out when/how i can have top surgery. Ive been in a funk for a few weeks about just about everything. It was just a general “i don’t wanna do anything” kinda deal. Now that im out of it and re-motivated its time to get shit done! With the help of my gorgeous GF im gonna get the pics of my chest taken and get the other pieces im gonna need to e-mail Dr. Garramone. Also, im gonna work on my resume so maybe I can get a better job so I can pay for this surgery ;]
Wish me luck. Being a procrastinator blows, hard.
Changes that I have noticed:
Hair: all on my chin, and not “peach fuzz” either. blonde mostly with small amounts of brown. also some hairs on my tummy.
Facial structure: my cheek bones are more pronounced, my face seems more angular.
Fun Fact: i was denied beer by a vendor at a Red Sox game because my i.d. didnt look enough like me. frustrating at the time but it shows progress :]
Voice: def deeper, my voice cracks a lot ( much to the pleasure of EVERYONE around me ;] )
Sex drive: its more controled, its def higher that first week but then normals out the second week.
Acne: i get some, mostly on and around my chin :[ but im trying my hardest to control it. Its not that bad anymore. Im pretty sure my body is adjusting to the T quite well :]
New pics to follow soon, whenever I can get my hands on a camera or web cam
So I am in the process of posting a new vid on the Youtube, as usual its being a bitch so Im waiting. I also just sent an e-mail to Dr. Garramone, the famed FTM top surgery master. I was asking how far booked he is. I just need a time line, and possibly a date to look forward to. I don’t think i can last another summer in three layers of clothing. Yes I said three, shirt-binder-under shirt. Im allergic to the binder, ironic huh? Anyway, I just need to see how long im gonna have to get the money together and that it will work with my future plans, more specifically my gf possible plans. She may be going into the peace corps and i want to have it done while she is still here. I dont think i can do it without her. Oh, and a little Ps to my last post- my voice cracks like whoa all the time. Its adorable. lol
Kbye
voice is def different, possibly deeper but def louder and /or fuller. “Boomier” says my mother, if that makes any sense. If you want to compare for yourself im on youtube, Raichu134, look me up.
My throat has stopped acting up for the moment. Like i have stopped having to clear it every few minutes. Its nice, cuz that sucked.
Im seeing significant growth in my nether-regions. And an increase in sex drive for the first 7-9 days after i get my shot. Its extremely distracting. No wonder teens dont get anything done. hahaha
More facial hair, mostly on my chin.
More energy, haven’t needed caffeine in weeks to stay awake.
No agression issues, also not anticipating any.
Thats all i can think of now.
