Title: My voice passed for the first time!
Post by: lil_red on December 27, 2016, 05:02:40 PM
I haven't posted here in a while but I'm happy and needed someone to share it with.

I'm 23 weeks on T and my voice has been taking it's sweet time about dropping but it finally passed over the phone for the first time!

I got my son a a prepaid smart phone for Christmas and was activating it over the phone. I was so surprised when I got "sired" that when it came time to give my payment info I didnt want to ruin the moment so i used my husband's debit card so I wouldn't  have to give them my female name. 

I really didn't expect it since I'm only out to my husband, kids, mom, and sister and noone else has seemed to notice my voice dropping.

LMAO, my husband's brother just asked me if I'm getting sick because my voice is raspy so I guess it hasn't gone unnoticed.

My doc said that sometimes people around you all the time wont actually realise because it is gradually
sometimes its good when outsiders say something, gives you a whole new perspective

Had my SO tell me that I dropped almost an octave in a couple days but I constantly sound like I have a sore throat or cold, but once it settles in I can't wait

I've not tested if I voice pass yet with a stranger but my own voice sounds twice as deep to me now. I have a couple voice recordings from 2 weeks ago, I will have to make another and compare. When I laugh, it now sounds like a completely different person.

Flat mate seems to think I talk/laugh louder and I'm sure I'm not putting any more effort/volume into it than before.

Congratulations, it is true I think, those who see you everyday might not notice as well. When my voice was breaking, it dropped slightly but my family didn't notice. It wasn't until I got to work and people kept asking me if I had a cold that I even noticed myself.
