The second I get my insurance back, I'm going to try to get on testosterone. I feel fucking miserable and taking boosters and supplements isn't really cutting it.
I'm extremely aware of the fact that I'm probably going to be told no because of my intersex variation making my testosterone naturally higher than the baseline for dfab people and because it affects how my body absorbs and processes hormones, but I want to at least try. I'm willing to jump through some hoops just to be able to attempt it.
I'm also kinda worried about it affecting my heart condition, but I have bradycardia and an arrhythmia and I've been told that testosterone usually raises your BP, so I might actually benefit from it. I might be able to get my heart rate above 40bpm for once.
I'm just really hoping for positive change in my life. I'm about to turn 29, I don't want to be miserable into my 30s.

The other day, my husband pleasured me for the first time in ages since I've started T. (Serious health issues on his part; no hating, please!)
My bottom growth is a lot bigger now, and it was awesome having him touch me after that change! And he told me it was hot that I was kind of growing a dick now lol
It was just a really big dose of euphoria and affirmation that I wasn't expecting.

Would anyone who has been on T at a low dose, started on T as a non-binary person, or de-transitioned after T be willing to offer me some perspective or experience?
I'm non-binary, and considering HRT - trying to be as informed as I can before deciding but have some questions that I'm struggling to find resources for - would appreciate signposting if you know any!
I am aware that you can't pick and choose the effects of T. I'm at a point where I feel it could be affirming to me, and I'm aware that it could potentially go the opposite direction and just give me different dysphoria. (Clarifying info below the cut if you feel it's necessary)
Ideally I would be proceeding slowly and on a low dose - but if I find it is going in a non-affirming direction, what would stopping it do? Do you return to baseline or does it just stop you from continuing further?
I've been told that a low dose doesn't mean LESS change, it just means the change happens slower. If I reach my ideal presentation, do I just maintain that or would it be a lifelong balancing act to maintain?
I've seen people talk about being on T "long enough to have permanent changes" but am struggling to find clarification on this and the main resources I'm turning up aren't answering that question, and I'm struggling to find resources for nonbinary hrt at all, even if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful
I can manage at baseline, I've been able to take baseline in the direction I want to go. I would be happier if I was more masc, but also I worry that pushing that too far would just give me a different flavour of dysphoria. And in that case I would rather return to baseline and do my best with that. I hope that makes sense, open to clarifying further
Ultimately I know I'll have to talk to a doctor about it, but the waiting lists are long and I want to try and be as informed as possible until I get that opportunity

I wanna start testosterone (my doctor and I talked about it a lot today, and I nearly said yes) but I really want to wait until I have a kid before… the whole damn journey.
I am feeling more me knowing that I can just say that I’m trans now. Like yeah I’ve been out as enby for a bit, but I’m really turning over a more significant page in my self-acceptance.
I might not start physically transitioning until it’s been a couple years.
I have a lot that I wanna do before starting T and getting top surgery: more gender affirming therapy, I wanna pierce my nipples while I still have them, gain back my strength and musculature (as much as I can), baby 🥲, breastfeeding if possible, financial stability, romantic and friendship stability, career stability, consistent nutrition and sleep, balanced work and life, a fuck ton of fun and travel, have a solid newer car, have a lot of sex as an out feminine trans enby man despite what my body looks like (it already feels better!!), really embrace my stereotypical feminine features (I love them more now that I’m more honest with myself), see what my PCOS decides to do lmao, giggle more, keep healing, and learn a lot.
(Omg my T levels are already high… and I fucking hate ingrowns, gah. Oh well, beauty is pain #exfoliation #femboythings)

10.5 months on T
This is going to be very personal so feel free to keep scrolling! :)
First off, no my sexuality has not changed, I am still aceflux. (If you know what I am referring to, you get a cookie)
My libido and hunger has calmed down lately which is great.
Over the few months I am on T, I have noticed that I lost weight and put on new weight on different parts of my body. My thin waist has vanished that had made my body somewhere between a pear and hourglass shape. My torso has adapted to a more rectangular shape, especially after my boobs had shrunk and my shoulders had widened.
I am losing weight and gaining muscles much faster and rapidly since I go on walks everyday and bring fire wood inside.
My overall confidence has boosted to a point where I no longer feel the need to ALWAYS wear a binder outside my home.
I sweat more often and am rarely cold anymore.
My beard growth and acne are stabilising as well, but it will definitely take more time.
I am on a high dose of Testosterone and my surgeon appointment is next month.

Hello. First dose! Yay!
As per title, I am micro-dosing testosterone.
.5ml, intramuscular, one dose per two weeks. ~23 years old at first dose.
(Also partially in the closet, so I will also keep tabs on how long I can get away with this before people start realizing something’s up.)
The shot:
Originally, I imagined I’d use the patch or gel. Then, the doctor told me those options were $600.
Needle it is.
First dose was much harder than I thought it’d be. I kept aggressively tapping the syringe because I was scared of air bubbles. Although the doctors prepared me and gave me a pamphlet, I found a video tutorial helpful. I sat there for at least 20 minutes holding the ready syringe trying to encourage myself to do it. The needle was much longer than I expected. It was very intimidating. I really considered backing out. In that moment, I wished I had an ally to do this for me. I felt like I couldn’t do it. It was so scary. In the end, I told myself that this medicine was too hard to get, and I couldn’t let it go to waste. Good thing my family isn’t observant, because someone could probably hear me panicking through the door if they listened.
Working up the courage was the hardest part. The shot itself turned out to be not so bad. In my opinion, it did not feel as bad as getting a vaccine. It was so simple it made all the apprehension feel silly. I took off my gloves and realized how nervous I really was when I saw the insides covered in sweat. I’m not even someone who gets sweaty hands. I should really be proud of myself for powering through that. I think the next shot will be easier.
Effects:
The next day I noticed a breakout of hormonal acne around my jaw, and….earlobes??? I expected testosterone to give me acne, but not so quick. I am very acne-prone. My skin care routine is immaculate. I found whiteheads around my jaw and saw more as the day progressed. You could argue that this breakout was caused by other factors, like stress, but I feel it was at least aided by testosterone as whiteheads are not a type of acne I usually get (Also, I didn’t get acne on my earlobes what the fu-.)
I battled- that’s an understatement- was at war with acne during my teens. I saw various skin professionals and used various medications. I expect this “transition journey” to be accompanied with revisiting this old nemesis.
Edit: 20 hours after posting this. Noticed new acne on my upper lip.

Watched the new Puss in Boots (holy shit was that a gorgeous movie), added to my HRT prep notebook (shooting to hit the clinic in another month or two! money is the biggest obstacle, RN), and started another stick and poke tattoo. It was a good night.

To HRT or not to HRT, that is the question. It has only been 4 months since I came out, so I think it's reasonable to give myself a full year to contemplate before making a decision. Still, it's on my mind quite a bit
