Just wondering if I should expect my voice to get any deeper.

Yeah, I'd say about 2 years. I thought mine was done at 6 months but looking back, it's changed loads. I'm at 1.5yrs now and my voice still wobbles and cracks occasionally. I think it's just settling down now and fine tuning as CB said.

Same, two months is when it started cracking and dropping, until then I had a sore throat but sounded mostly the same, maybe like I had a minor cold. It's been 4 months now, and it's still dropping pretty steadily. I think it's going to end up pretty deep. :D

At 10 months on T your voice probably will drop/change more. I'm 18 months and mine dropped again very slightly last week, but I never had a very sudden change or cracking, just very slow and steady dropping from 2/3 weeks on T.

A lot of my buddies (bio males) said that their voice didn't really settle until 2-3 years after it cracked. So I think it's still going to be a while before your voice settles.
I have been on T for about 8 months now, coming close to 9 months. I have noticed even now my voice keeps on getting deeper...however it's settling out a bit. Not completely, but at least I can sing now without having my voice crack like crazy.

Varies for everyone I guess! Mine started to crack and break after about 2 months on T. I'm now just over 9 months and it's pretty much settled, but I guess it could continue to get deeper... I'm just glad to be over the chihuahua on helium stage!

To be fair, your voice will continue to change for your entire life (getting deeper if you stay on T). It just slows down.
very true, men in their 40's have different voices then men in their 20's

A non-trans friend told me that in middle age he went from a baritone to a bass.
My voice went from a tenor to a baritone after more than a year on T. I picked up a hint more depth and stability about a month ago, after nearly two and a half years on T. I have always been on the so-called full dose.
