Hey! Been a minute since I been posting here, but I'm back finally.

I know everyone is different in terms of changes, but I'm just curious as to how long it took for most you to finally have your voice drop.

I'm almost 4 months on T and I hear my voice getting deeper a little and breaking but it's still annoyingly female.
I'm growing a mustache and getting body hair and even my jaw is starting to develop more!
In other words all of the changes I was told I'd get months from now I'm getting now and all the changes I was told I'd get in the first 3 months like voice drop or downstairs growth is taking it's sweet time.

Don't get me wrong I'm greatful for my new mustache and increased muscle mass, and a more masculine face developing, but people equate all of that with a feminine voice to a lesbian.

Or being a 14 year old boy..

man, i've been stuck at "little boy or lesbian??" for so long now even without T lol it's so annoying

i'm only a little over a month on, so no really notable change in voice yet, but people i talk to regularly have pointed out that it sounds like i have a cold (i.e. it gets a little deeper, kind of froggy, but not so different that most people would notice)

Within a few weeks. But didn't stabilise and consistently sound male until I'd say the 6 month mark

Started about three weeks on T I think but I am not a 100% certain. It surprised me how fast that went and I was really grateful for that because I hated to speak and avoided to speak before.
I still hope that it will get even deeper though ;)

Within the first week it started lowering.

Didn't settle until at least 8 months though, went through 3 or 4 drops and still seems to be dropping after a year.

It was enough for me to notice around a month in. It was enough for others to notice about three months in. I hit a solidly male range around the six month mark. After a year, it still hasn't really settled.

I'm following this with interest. I'm only two weeks on T, but looking forward to voice changes! In my first couple of days I had the sore throat thing and temporarily lower voice. Then it went to its usual--then I've been levelled by a bad cold. Today is the first day I'm feeling human in a week. My voice to me sounds like it was pre-T, if not a bit stuffy. I've been trying to track in videos to myself - I did a couple in the first week but haven't since I got sick.

It dropped quick and hard for me--within a couple weeks I was experiencing changes--and after two months it was definitively male. It's dropped a couple more times since then and continues to level out (been on T for 2 years and 2 months). During that period, I completely lost my mid-range and nothing would come out but raspy air when I tried to use it. It's only been in the last four months or so that I've slowly gotten it back.
There are still some notes and tones I can't hit at all.

My voice never really changed with T. I am frustrated;

I think my voice is slightly lower, a month in and post-cold. I do realise I've been well conditioned to use my head voice in speaking rather than speaking from my chest, so that is a mental switch. I don't know if anyone other than me notices the difference.

Oh, I should say that I was on low-dose to start and am in a more middle-of-the-road dose since the third week, so there's that.

I've used an app called voice pitch analyzer since starting T. I recognised it starting to change within a week or so but from the app I can tell it properly dropped at about 3 months and then it seemed to have levelled out at around 5 months. I'm only at 8 months now so still hoping to have another drop.

Mine dropped within a couple weeks and I am only almost 2 months on T. My voice always sounded pretty deep but now it has stayed deep.

3 months is when it was a noticeable drop for me.

Mine dropped some during the first month, then bounced back and forth for a number of months.  I was enduring the "what voice will I have today?" game during those months.  It was frustrating on pre-T voice days, and I tended not to talk to anyone other than my genderfluid boyfriend if I could help it when that happened.

After 13 months on T, my voice has settled down to a definite male range.  I'd say it was  around the 6 month mark when it hit there and stayed.  But when I get excited, it goes up a little bit but is still well within the male vocal range.

Puberty takes cis men from the age of what...14 years of age to 18-19?  Maybe even age 21, so I'm pretty sure my voice is still settling down.  I'm just happy that its a definite baritone! [emoji4]

I want to say around 3 months on T i started noticing the changes and then it would squeak occasionally as it was dropping lol. Other people will notice more than you. I couldn't really tell but when I saw friends after being on T for a month or two, they were like wow your voice changed. Even now, I can't tell how deep my voice is until my girlfriend will tell me, to quiet down that my voice is deep and it carrys lol

My voice is dropping in the last few weeks. I am 4 months on T now, and it got a tone down. But the ppl who don't know i am on T just think that i have a cold, so it's nothing clearly noticeable i think. I feel like i got "something in my throat". And i had a sore throats some days ago. But i have no squeaking, no breaking, no cracking, so i am wondering if this is just the beginning of it and i have to go through that still, or if i just won't experience these "symptoms".

My voice starting dropping already in the first week of starting T, if I remember correctly, but could have been after 2 weeks. I did voice recordings at the time so I could tell it was changing, but sadly I've lost them years ago now. My voice didn't break much at all, but quite steadily dropped about 2 octaves and settled at somewhere between 6 months to a year after I started taking T. Difficult to know exactly cause I stopped taking T after 1 year, then started again 2 years later which made my voice settle a bit more once I was back on T. Originally I had a fairly deep voice for a female and ended up with a little deeper than average for a male voice. I also did some voice training which probably contributed to its final pitch and tone.
