Starting Testosterone: Looking for Trans Community Support

started testosterone yesterday! this is really exciting for me. i'm looking to talk with other trans people about HRT. i know there won't be any major changes for a while, and i'm on a small dose right now, but i want to hear from other people about their experiences and what their first changes were.

For me the first changes was hair around my body but that depends on genetics, tho most things with T do. I started on a low dose as well and on patches so my voice started changing but not to extremes until I started doing injections now my voice matches my age more and I'm a lot happier with it, but I was happy with the changes back then too because it was progress. It started changing my hairline, added to it surprisingly it made kind of a widows peak. a lot of people talk about bottom growth immediately after starting but I didn't really experience that. and one of the biggest things was I felt a lot more stable and rational. I have mental health issues but it's definitely helped a lot with being overly sensitive or emotional to smaller things
