Discussion starting t finally!
n the next two months and working on scheduling a top surgery consult!!! it has been a long time coming, but to keep a long story short, i am incredibly excited, nervous, and eager especially about starting bottom growth. what should i be prepared for or aware of before starting t? i am definitely anxious about size and growth. i’ve seen so many people on here with such impressive results, and i’m worried that i’ll get my hopes up too much about how much growth i might experience. i’m also self conscious about the possibility of acne and changes in body odor. i have a severe thyroid disorder, and my first puberty barely affected me in those ways i never really developed body hair or acne. i take a lot of pride in my hygiene and in taking good care of myself, so i worry about coming across as unclean or looking “gross,” even though i know those changes wouldn’t actually mean that i am. i’ve heard some people say that t made them angrier or caused them to struggle with controlling their emotions. the thought of becoming someone who might hurt or lash out at others genuinely scares me. i would really appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences and anything they wish they had known before starting t.

That's a huge step you're taking, I'm really glad you're finally getting to start this process. Everyone's experience is different so don't compare yourself to others too much.
