Question/Advice NEEDED What should i expect?

Hi all, so i’ve currently planned out my path to starting testosterone and im looking for advice on it. I’m planning on starting 50-75mg around mid june 2027. This is when i leave high school as im still not out to anyone, i would start earlier but im worried people might find out before i tell them. I plan on taking either 50mg or 75mg weekly (im unsure on whether 50 or 75 is a good starting point, if it’s unsafe please let me know). I start college the 1st of september 2027, by then im really hoping for a deeper voice than i have now to hopefully sound a bit masculine for college. Im unsure what results i can get within that period of time, and i know i cant really predict it. But if anyone could give me like an estimate of what would happen in that time, i would appreciate it massively as im still changing up this starting point. Thanks all!

I’d suggest starting at 75 mg/week with a loading dose of 150 mg for the first week. You might have some voice change by then but it’s not really predictable. Two and a half months is a pretty short time. If you want to have a better chances of a voice change by September, you’d need to start earlier.

Alright thank you, i’ve had people say 60mg aswell, im not sure if my age matters either. I’d start it earlier but there’s the risk of me being caught by those who i’m not out to yet. As we all know testosterone can be unpredictable, and i could start earlier and my voice changing immediately. Just not sure if i’d really want to take the risk 😅
