How do you know when your voice is done changing? I can't tell if mines finished.

Because of a hormone screw up where I was either getting little to no testosterone at all for three months (after 3 months on T) I wonder if this is as deep as it gets or if it's still getting deeper. It's dropped twice from what I've noticed, but never once went through a time where it cracked when I spoke. I can't really yell anymore, I just have to raise my voice or it cracks, but that's the only time.

When I spoke to an old friend she said I sounded like a guy 'a gay one according to her'. However after a recent conversation on the phone I'm left wondering if I sound like a man or woman. I called in for my own appointment for an allergy test and she talked about me like I was calling in for my kid. The best part was she kept saying 'he' about all the things 'I' need to do! But still it confuses me. Did she think my voice was to high to sound like a Parker? She never once said Miss or Sir on the phone.

I've been on T 9 months now, minus the three month screw up, which would probably make it only three months since the screw up. How long did it take for your voice to fully change, or when did it drop to it's lowest?

My umderstanding is that ... you are going through puberty .. and that it is different for each person ... that you can only be sure all changes are done around 5 years ... and that the 1st 2 years will have the most changes

I'm nearly 10 weeks on testosterone, and just when i think my voice is done dropping, it drops again!
