almost at the two week mark
I started T with a 50mg shot on Oct 21st.
Physically
50mg ain't much but it's definitely working.
I was just revocering from a cold when I got my first shot so my throat was already sore but it's been sore off and on while all other cold symptoms have passed. I might be able to assume at this point that this is now a hormonal sore throat.
Like I was saying - I had a cold when I started T, but yesterday someone commented that I sounded like I had a bit of a cold. I'm hoping this means that there has been some change in my voice albeit slight.
Being as narsissistic as I am I've noticed a bit more hair growth particularly on the backs of my hands and arms. Nobody else is noticing anything though.
I've had a very slight increase in libido - every little bit is welcome in this department. I haven't been able to muster a libido by self will or any other method really in about 9 months. *and I wonder why my relationship fell apart*
Emotionally/Mentally
The first few days were hard mostly due to my intense fear of change and my hypochondria. I automatically thought I was going to have a severe allergic reaction to the T and/or form a major stroke causing blood clot and die in an elevator surrounded by strangers... okay maybe it wasn't quite that bad, but close. After I stopped obsessing about how I felt and focusing on every little twitch and ache my body had to offer... things were totally fine.
I've been fairly emotionally even, although I usually am. With the exception of one MAJOR outburst I haven't noticed much change in my moods or emotions.
sidenote major outburst can be attributed mostly to lots of life stress. It did kind of scare me but I'm much more okay with screaming than hitting which is what I felt close to. My counselor suggested that I keep a close eye on the boiling point and take necessary steps to calm myself down. I'm guessing that she'll have more to say on this the next time we meet.
I get my second shot on Monday...
