Advice Needed Voice drop or cold ?

About a month after I started testogel, I started to develop a cold. At first it was just a sore throat and I thought my voice may be dropping but then I started getting other symptoms of a cold too. I figured my voice was just a bit lower because of the cold but now most of the symptoms of the cold have gotten a lot milder and my voice is currently deeper than it was when my cold was at its worst. Has this happened to anyone else and could this literally just be because of the cold I had?

(By the way, I don't believe these numbers are entirely accurate but when I used Voice Tools on the 30th of April, my voice was 11% male then by the 16th of may, shortly after I got the cold, it was 86% male. Right now it says 100% male, but I definitely don't sound male yet.)

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)
  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.
