trans I have read a few posts about questions regarding t gel and how fast changes come about.
Here is my situation, for a female I have a pretty high T level which shows in form of body hair growth like my brother, libido of a teenage boy, nearly no periods (I get them when I am around girls that have them), facial hair that makes my FTM friend on T jealous (but I usually shave) and also a male hairline. I get mistaken for a guy without even trying very often, and usually it is only my voice that gives me away.
I do not really plan on transitioning, I like to be as andro as possible and like the fact that if I want to I can pass as a good looking girl or guy depending on my mood. Recently however I was wondering whether I should try some T gel in order to lower my voice a bit, which is basically what usually gives me away and I do not like my voice very much to begin with. Also I would not mind if the T would change my body shape a little bit and help with muscle build-up.
Given that I already have such a high T level and most of the desired effects of T, I was wondering what T gel would really be able to do and how fast. I am willing to give it a shot, just to try but I am only worried that it might not change the voice but give me acne or makes me lose head hair. I do not want to tell anyone about this experiment as most of the visible changes are already there and I do not want to freak anyone out (especially parents or partner, we are currently long-distance and he knows that I have toyed with transitioning). I do not want to go on T shots as that is definitely too much, and I would not do that without blood work and professional monitoring. I have access to t gel and reckon that with such a low dose it is pretty safe.
Is it worth me trying it out and hoping that only my desired effects show up or shall I just be contented with what I have and not mess with it?
