So glad to see you're still documenting even when you don't feel like it. You look and sound great!! Also i too am dysphoric about the smallness of my hands. That's cool that'd your feet have grown! Anyway. I'll be in touch soon. Hope you're well. Love seeing your updates.
I love watching your videos. I can't really find too many guys documenting transitions on gel. My appointment is on the 15th of December and I think I'll choose gel.
Hi Leo! Thank you for watching and I am glad you like the videos, I hope they are useful. There are a couple of other guys who started documenting their changes on gel before me, have you seen their videos, Taylor and Seb's here now? Good luck with your appointment and I hope you get what you want!
I'm so glad you've made this video! Im going to be using t gel because I have a severe phobia of needles and I know I won't be able to cope with it every 1/2 weeks, hormone blockers are already such a struggle for me rn but I only have 4 injections left before I can start T!
Seb's here now thanks Sebastian. Yes I have my levels checked monthly. How about you? Ps sorry I haven't responded to your other comment yet. Will do so! Hope all is well with you and your new surroundings :)
roadmapzach: I think the injections are way to fast. i understand that some T guys want to speed up the process. I guess there are a handful of us who like the way the gel works. I think for some the gel does not work as well. I don't like the acne! lol. not to bad, but it seems like I am going through puberty again!😂. Great videos, keep up the good work. my hands, feet are bigger as ever. I always had big hands and feet, but bigger now. Hope to see more from you. aloha from Hawaii!
lokahi27 aloha to you too! I've found there isn't a difference in speed of changes on gel VS injection. My friend and I started t with only two weeks difference. He is in injections but are changes are quite similar in timing. His voice did deepen before mine and I got more hair before him. But I think they are very genetic factors.
my friend you look like dude and your voice sounds like a guy. you totally pass. I have been on the gel for about 7 years and lapsed twice for only a month each time due to my medical coverage not covering certain T- gels and creams. But, all has been steady so far, knock on wood. lol. Good luck on your journey.
Pretty good. I never really had problems. I guess it's all about being patient and love the journey one is on. I do feel for the guys who are in transition and family and friends freak out on them. Support is vital. For me it was not a problem. I was already boy like as a young child, so, it was not a surprise to people.
Hi there! Thanks for your question. So it really depend on where you are living/accessing treatment. I know that in England and the US you need a prescription for all forms of testosterone - whether it's gel, injections, or patches etc. And yes, no matter what kind of hormones you go on to you need regular labtest/blood test. It's really important to check your levels. Let me now if you have any more questions :)
Question about the gel: do they always tell you to apply the gel to the same spots? I know you mentioned the acne. I was just wondering because for injections they have me switch sites or at least alternate which side of my body.
Hey Eli sorry it's taken me forever to reply to you. Yeah I apply the gel to the same locations each morning - mostly upper arms, shoulder, top of chest just below my neck, and my stomach. It's something I have thought about fairly regularly...I wonder if not swapping sites causes a build up of acne and maybe some kind of intolerance to the gel...I don't know, something I might look into.
You look so masculine, after only 6 months! I'm on gel, and I was worried that the changes would be too slow, but this has helped calm me :)

I don't think so? Can you send me the links to their channels please? :)

Great update :) can you mention in your next video maybe about going to college/uni/work and reactions to your transition/coming out there?
Hey there Frankie. Thank you. Yeah sure thing, is there anything in particular you would like to know or any questions you have?
All the best :)
I'm six months and no facial hair or voice change at all for me. My body fat and bottom growth is the only changes for now
Def noticed your face change this video, glad your enjoying all the changes! You have your levels checked yet?
Seb's here now thanks Sebastian. Yes I have my levels checked monthly. How about you?
Ps sorry I haven't responded to your other comment yet. Will do so! Hope all is well with you and your new surroundings :)
I prefer the gel. I find it works evenly. more stable without fluctuations. will stick to gel.
lokahi27 yeah I agree ☺️ the only time/thing I seem to have a problem with is when I don't have any gel or when I forget it.

lokahi27 that's really good, very happy for you 😊
Body changes are good and T levels are steady.
Thanks for making this update even though you didn't feel like it. ;) What's you tumblr, btw?
Hi Jerome, no problem I hope it was useful! And sure it's the same as youtube RoadmapZach :)
i have a question, when you're going to use the T Gel, do you need to have a doctors appointment and have a labtest? PRE T here.

No worries, hope it helped.
