Logging Your Doses

In My Medications:

• Add testosterone with your prescribed dose, frequency, and route of administration.
• Log each dose or injection as you take it.
• Set reminders so you never miss a dose — especially useful for injection schedules.
• View your complete medication history and adherence over time.

Monitoring Blood Tests

Blood tests are essential on masculinising HRT. Key markers include:

• Testosterone levels — To ensure you are within the target range.
• Haemoglobin and haematocrit — Testosterone increases red blood cell production; monitoring prevents levels from becoming too high.
• Liver function — ALT, AST, and GGT.
• Lipid panel — Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides.
• Full blood count — A comprehensive overview of your blood health.

What to Expect

Changes from testosterone develop gradually over months and years:

• Voice deepening — Usually begins within 3–12 months. This change is permanent.
• Facial and body hair growth — Begins within months and continues developing for years.
• Fat redistribution — Shifts from hips and thighs to the abdomen over 1–3 years.
• Muscle development — Increased muscle mass and strength, especially with exercise.
• Skin changes — Skin may become oilier; acne is common, especially in the first year.
• Menstrual changes — Periods typically stop within the first few months.

Tracking Physical Changes

• My Photos — Build a visual record of your transition. Regular photos taken in consistent lighting help you see changes over time.
• My Voice — Record your voice regularly and use pitch analysis to track voice deepening.
