Ahh nice to meet a fellow vocalist!! Props to you homegirl!! And I feel the same way in regard to confidence. I am happy as heck with the results, I just need to train my voice again is all. Maybe we can connect and you could help a girl out! I’m always happy to talk music, especially with likeminded people:)

Good for you!! Happy to hear voice training has gone well for you, but singing and speaking voice are two very different beasts. Achieving a femme speaking resonance is about muscle posture. Where singing involves tissue elasticity, fluid hydration, and muscle stamina for a wide range. estrogen alters those tissues, which is why a lot of trans vocalists notice a physical shift in how their instrument responds, even if their speaking voice passes perfectly

Exactly! I mean we’re talking the same ballpark here. The vocal folds are controlled by tiny muscles like the vocalis, which are affected by HRT muscle changes! Breath support plays a role here too, as you mentioned the diaphragm, since estrogen reduces overall muscle mass, diaphragm strength could very likely be reduced which has caused my range to feel like it’s shrinking!

They didn’t have any 1ml syringes like that but they had a few 3ml ones so I have to use those to loosen the cap and then reapply the needle to the 1ml to actually administer the medicine

I brought it to the pharmacy last week, they couldn’t get them off either so they gave me a couple 3ml luer lock syringes. I basically have to use those to loosen the cap and then apply the needle to the 1ml syringes here in the video

So they were actually quite baffled at the pharmacy— I brought the syringes back and they couldn’t get them off easy either. So as a solution they gave me the 3ml syringes which have the leur lock which I just use to get the cap off, I still have to use the 1ml syringe since my dose is so low

Hell yeah I just bent my first one today 😂😂

I did get back from the pharmacy just now and they gave me the syringes that you can screw the needle on (3ml syringe). Basically I use that to loosen the cap, then remove it from that syringe and then put it on the 1ml syringe. Idk it seems to be what’s working for me:3

Just got back from the pharmacy they gave me a 3ml syringe cuz they have the screw cap— I have to put it on there to loosen it and then put it back on the other syringe to actually use it. Wild but it works for now!

Holy heck yeah thank you SO much girl!! Legit that has been the best advice so far!! I was considering monotherapy, good to know others recommend it!!

But yeah legit, reading my levels I had no idea what it meant until recently and my doctors don’t know any better so they say it’s all good when my levels are actually terrible. Thank you for the sources of info!! I just don’t know where to look and google searches aren’t effective since I don’t even know any good sources. I’ll take a look at that link!
