"24 yr old trans man, been on testosterone for 7.5 years. This drug has saved my life. I was lucky to start testosterone as a teenager. I inject 50 mg sub Q every week. Here's my timeline (that I remember): 1 to 3 months: suicidal ideation gone, more energy, increased libido and hair growth, period stopped 2 months in. 3 to 6 months: voice cracks, light facial hair, more acne. 6 to 12 months: deeper voice, reshaping of face, bottom growth, fat redistribution (hips to stomach) at the end of the first year. Public recognized me as male by the end of the first year. 2 years: some male pattern hair loss began, acne went mostly away, thickened facial hair, vaginal atrophy started. 3 years: this is probably when the bottom growth became very significant, ovaries dormant. Not many more changes after 3 years. I consider myself transitioned."

"Works great. Been on the gel form for almost a year and seeing great progress. Clitoral growth and voice deepening do hurt quite a bit for the first 6 months, but it can be helped with a hot pack and an ibuprofen/acetaminophen. I feel so much better now that I'm growing into my true self. Highly recommend for those with gender dysphoria, particularly with your voice and body hair."
