I started at 50mg (0.25ml at a 200 concentration) for six months and got decent voice, muscle, and acne changes. I upped my dose to 60mg (0.3ml at a 200 concentration) and changes continued, bloating and acne decreased, and my period stopped. I’m happy I started on a lower dose to let myself adjust, but eventually a change was needed.

.25 is a low dose?! PP told me it was a normal to high dose, but I’ve been on it for 4 months with minimal changes

it depends on your concentration. 0.3-0.5 ml of 200mg/100ml concentration is a usual normal does

Concentration is 100ml 😭 Was I lied to then? This PP also recommended I should get my needles off Amazon which I’ve heard can be pretty dangerous

if you're in the US (elsewhere idk) shopmedvet.com is the cheapest i could find and i don't have concerns about sterility bc vets have to care about it too

i think for me it was like 3 weeks in? i took those weekly "this is my voice X weeks on t" (switched to monthly/ whenever i remember now) so i could recognize my progress

I had voice trained for years so I had a male passing voice pre-T. I couldn’t really tell you, my voice just went from sounding like a 13 year old boy to an (at the time) 18 year old man. I noticed major differences at 3 months and 10 months and 1.5 years.
