I started T today! =D Yay!
I hope this is in the right forum. XD
Also, I was wondering how bad the personality change tended to be, or if it really was much at all?

Congrats! I'm happy for you, man. Injections?
Hm, the mood changes aren't that bad for me.. I just get a bit depressed -sometimes- before the injection day, like 2-3 days before, but it quickly gets fixed.

Hey, good for you! Keep us posted.
I've heard all kinds of things about personality changes. I've heard some people say that they became more relaxed and cheerful ('cause of the relief of starting treatment), some that it made them prone to anger, some that it did strange things to their sexual orientation, and many reports that it sends your libido through the roof. I imagine it's a little different for everyone.

Especially because I think with a lot of us we don't have much of a libido because we're uncomfortable with our bodies (maybe that's just me).

Yeah, that might be connected with it - the effects of testosterone are boosted by one's growing sense of confidence. And I believe, from circumstantial evidence, that it just takes some time to settle down and get used to it anyway - though it could just be that the insufferable nature of adolescent boys is down to their lack of maturity. Still. Shall be interesting to see what happens.

I have absolutely no libido what so ever, so I thought T would give me a "normal libido" not sure about it anymore.

I was talking to a woman who had to do a variety of hormone treatments and she basically said that T amplified already present traits. So if you're agressive, you become more so, if you have some incling for sex, more so. That sort of thing.
She has a cousin who is FtM and said it went about the same for him as well.

Mine varies in strength, but it's usually pretty high, so I dread to think what I'll be like initially. Mistress: Seems to make sense to me. 'S a good thing I don't have anger issues any more, then.

I had almost no sex drive before, and still have very little. My friend told me that it usually kicks in after a week, though (so I'll be starting school).
And cool, about the personality traits thing. I also heard it makes you more decisive.
I dunno, all I feel so far is very tired (much lack of sleep), and I am warmer than normal XD
And yes, injections, 200mg every two weeks, though my next injections in three weeks due to busy.
