2 months in to my new job
Brief video blog update, 2 months after starting my new job:
Going back through these videos, I love how each one I can notice my voice sounding a little bit more female. Although also pretty consistent is it starting at a higher pitch and then dropping down further the longer I speak.
Whenever I hear a recording of my voice and I wasn't expecting it, I'm always shocked at how male I sound. But when I'm conscious of my voice, I guess I actually am starting to sound pretty decent. So the main thing for me to work on is staying conscious of it--not falling back into old habits.
I forgot to mention in this video that I finally got my testosterone up into the female range, after about a year of being below normal (and zero for most of that time)! Although I've also starting experiencing the heaviest mood swings since I started transition. I only touched on that, don't really feel like talking about it... but yeah. Been kind of difficult. Hoping I stabilize more going forward.
My estrogen is at an all time high (191 pg/mL) and testosterone is middle of normal female range (30 ng/dL). [Not sure if I got the units right on both of those, will double check it later.] Both of those are because I started taking DHEA, although the two most noticeable things I've experienced since starting full time work (exhaustion/tiredness & mood swings) both started before I took the DHEA. So it could be more the different sleep schedule or just sensory overload at work each day, after so many months of sitting at home most days.
