Effects too early?

So its only been about 2 weeks or so since i've been on T now. Its a low dose so it should be barely doing a thing at all
But im getting a little worried, is this normal?

So within the first 3 days my voice dropped dramatically, even broke within the first week of my first T rub on (its trans dermal) Within a week and a half, my sex drive and hunger sky rocketed and i lost a bit of weight and gained instant muscle! Im also already experiencing changes downstairs and facial hair growth by this second week. My fat distribution hasn't changed but my butt is a lot smaller already. is this natural (like my genes could just be lucky) or should i be concerned. The T is a very low dose too and im just wondering  if there are other guys who have had this too.

Is it a simple lucky break with my genes, or should i chat with a doctor? other than instant (pleasing) changes, i feel no bad effect from T (infact i feel a lot more happier and more fitter)

Genetics can do wonders!

I say this because my voice got weird day 6 on T.
Growth: Day one about 6 hours after first shot felt a tingle at the tip, Day 2 woke up and the entire thing was tingly, Day 3 grew a little, Day 4 doubled, Day 5 tripled.  :o
Day 7: Cleaned office where I work and No back pain.
Woke up day 2 with massive energy.
Sleep about 5-6 hours and I'm good all day long.

I'm enjoying the changes. I'm on an average dose. 1 shot every 2 weeks. Injection.

on the very first day I do remember my throat feeling funny like a good muscle workout, then my voice suddenly dropped before I knew it. I already need to shave now due to the uneven growth. I suppose just really surprised with the type of T I am on (slowest acting compared to injections). Though kinda haven't changed in size down there just yet sadly. still waiting on that heh

Changes started happening for me quickly, too!  My dose is relatively standard, though.  My voice started dropping within days, and it continues to hit plateaus for a couple weeks and then take another dramatic drop.  Libido went up within a day.   I had to start shaving (hairs are mostly still light blonde but getting long) in month 2.  Only had one light period before it shut off completely.  I do IM injections weekly, and just did my 18th injection, so I am just past 4 months now.

Congrats!  Sounds like your body (like mine!) is gleefully lapping it up!

I didn't have a bunch of things change, but my voice started acting funny in my second week. I also had some days where I had a weirdly large amount of energy; I remember the first time I went for an exercise walk after T I was walking way too fast by accident (I'm a fast walker in general but at that point I was nearly jogging I was going so fast) and I didn't feel any pain or discomfort anywhere at all doing that for an hour straight!

I was on a low dose, the same as you. It seems like you're just lucky genetics wise, so don't worry too much!

I'm on gel and I did a half dose for my first month. Within 3 days I was getting little changes.

My voice has dropped considerably, my body hair has gotten darker and filled in, my sex drive has increased, my facial hair is coming in, I've had some growth downstairs, etc.

I think you're fine. Everybody's different. I was very masculine pre-T so for me it's like what was already there is just being amplified. Some of us just have lucky genetics.

I also think it has a lot to do with genetics, but I also think some of it could be the placebo effect. I experienced this a little when I first started.. As time has progressed, I've realized I was finding "changes" that probably really weren't even attributed to the testosterone, as well as thinking my voice was deeper than it actually was lol

So I suppose my genetics pretty much prepared for this in a way haha! Though I was very very feminine before beginning as i had barely any muscle and my voice was higher than mini mouse. I did think of the placebo effect too myself that i might be looking too deep into my changes being overly excited. I did confirm my voice definitely changed on my 3rd day when I was singing (I sing quite often) and I struggled to hit high notes that I sang beautifully beforehand, but I was overjoyed when I could finally sing the songs I struggled on due to the low notes

Well, whether it be luck or genetics (or both!) congrats on the wonderful and fast changes! I hope it keeps up!
Hahaha making me really look forward to starting T too!

I noticed more peach fuzz on my upper lip within a week of starting T (ironically, my mustache is nothing at all to write home about two years later). I started experiencing various forms of vocal weirdness right away as well -- a tight/sore throat, cracking, that kind of thing. None of this was dramatic enough that other people would have noticed, but it caught my attention. I'm sure the placebo effect came into play like some others have mentioned, but really, HRT is such a crazy crapshoot and highly individualized experience. There's no universal way that it manifests in the early stages.
