Title: Voice possibly beginning to break?
Post by: Aido on July 07, 2013, 12:50:00 PM
My throat is sore, dry and I keep getting the feeling that I need to clear it. It's been like that about three days. For you guys whose voices have broken, did this happen to you?

Also, has anyone else grown in height? I've grown an inch since starting T two months ago!

Yep, that's exactly what my voice has been doing for the past couple weeks! It did it to a lesser degree shortly after I started AndroGel, but it's more pronounced now that I'm taking injectable T. At first I thought I just had allergies, but then people started telling me my voice was actually getting deeper in addition to sounding like I have a cold.

As for height: How old are you, if you don't mind my asking? I'm 22 and finished growing close to a decade ago, so I think my growth plates are mostly closed off. I have grown maybe 1/4 to 1/2 an inch over the past few years, but I think that's more just a miniature young-adult growth spurt (which aren't unheard of) than a direct effect of the T.

I rarely, if ever, have problems with my throat so dont think its allergies or anything. I have a fairly low-pitched voice anyway but hope it'll go down a bit more. The growth thing has really surprised me because I'm 24. My housemate is 5"4 and we used to be the same height, about a week ago we were standing next to each other and she said 'what the hell, have you gotten taller?'. Measured my height and I'm now 5"5

are you actually getting taller, or are you just using better posture? 'Cause if you're getting taller, Imma need a list of everything you've done so I can do it too
