FTM's and Transitioning

[Sam]

Hey ya'll

i havent said much, but my surgery was last thursday the 28th, everything went great. by saturday i was walking around, i had alot of discomfort from the drain area. But NOT much pain at all. I had alot of clotting on friday morning.

I was suppose to go back to get drains out on monday, but he had an emergency so i went in today to see him.

Had my dressings taken off, drains removed and saw my graphs. i absolutely love the results so far, i do have some swelling, may get more.

But overall, im extremely happy.

Thanks for all the well wishes. if you are on my facebook i have uploaded some pics and will be uploading more.

just ask sam.jankowski on fb, have a great week.

Thanks Liam, i have been to GNC.

Has anyone tried the T Cream? I know it takes longer but I'm interested to know what people thought about it.

Thanks

OB i never tried it, but they say it takes forever to soak into your skin.

Good luck

Brother O, I had some good effects with the T cream, it gave me more energy, and the chin hairs grew a bit. I'm a pluckin fool anyway but it did make some more pop up. I'm off it until I get my blood work done, my Doc is checking on my hormone levels, He said I had low T the last time he looked. The T cream is homeopathic and not regulated under the FDA, so the contents of how much organic T one gets is up for grabs, but it also did help the libido. Your mileage may vary as with all things.

Organic,

Corky has already given you some good advise on the cream. I just want to add that if you use it you need to be careful and make sure it has absorbed completely into your skin, before hugging on Gemme, otherwise it can get on her skin and she will absorb it. Can't have Gemme growing goatees and such! Lol!

P.S.This is especially important for women who are pregnant.

I am now on a higher dose (twice as high as before) of the daily Androgel. My doctor finally increased it. I hope something dramatic starts to happen soon, cause it has been since May that I have been on T and not much to show for it at all.

it'll take a little time Drew, but I'm sure things will start happening soon. I've been on the injections now for about 1 1/2 months, and I'm noticing some changes ~ mostly chin hair. I've always had a fair amount of chin hair but it was never dark always fairly light but I knew it was there, and now not only is it longer and more noticeable but its darker in some areas. I get My third injection this morning and will be hoping for more changes in the future!

Unfortunately drew the process is really slow for topical T. I did not do the androgel but the creme and was on it for i think 3 years before I started injections. I can tell you i have great body hair on my inner thighs where i applied it the most ... and my voice and some features changed a tad. Also for a time my sex drive increased. Major changes in body hair, voice, and that monthly crap didn't happen til I went on injections and even there they didn't happen on the initial low dose ...

What the creme mainly did for me was it provided me a safe slow platform to see how my body would adjust. Maybe it can be the same for you. I know there are concerns you and your drs have about the T and maybe this is just the pathway to the changes you desire.

I can't do the shots. Ever. My doctors are adamant about that. So this is my only path to transitioning. However, I don't have a uterus or ovaries so there is no Estrogen there to fight with the T. There is no speeding this up anymore than the new dose for me. *sigh*

Then just be patient ... some of the changes even if you could do the shots might not look the way you expect. I still am on the low end for facial hair but i wouldn't put my brother or dad or even grandpa as being overly hairy.

One of the things I did/do and really don't know if it makes a difference is i would rub a tad of T in the areas I'd like hair to produce... for example when i've done my shot the little left around the syringe I rub on my upper hands ...I do have hand hair coming in. Now whether or not this is occuring because of this I don't know. Likewise when I was on the creme like I said my inner thighs are extremely hairy. I really never have rubbed any on my face because i'm pretty neutral on facial hair. Occasionally i will do my sideburns though .. cause I would like those.

The point is I don't think facial hair is what my body is thrilled to produce no matter of what my dosage .. now nose hair ... uncontrollable eyebrows yes, and god i'm still hoping my dads ear hair stays away.

However even with the creme and still today on the shots my voice seems to drop ... I have a pretty low man's voice trans or no trans

Also look to other people to access the changes in you. I remember immediately after I started the creme and I was on a dose just to get my levels up to the normal levels for females there were changes and people already had a hard time recognizing me. Even today I have to look at photos of myself to see how much i really have changed. It is harder for me to see the changes others can easily see

I really don't care so much about the hair to be honest. My dad and other men in my family aren't all that hairy, and that's fine. I just want my voice to drop and my body fat to re-distribute to a more masculine frame.
