Can Testosterone Shots Develop Male Type Sex Drive In Transgender?

Hi I am a femal to male transgender,and before taking my hormone shots,I got my testosterone level taken. If it was high to begin with (without the shots),would that explain why I had a male type sex drive before shots. Or why I hav my brothers body build and not any of my sisters? Or does it also explain why I am taking a lesser amount of testosterone shots than most trans,and yet am seeing quicker results than most
