I’ll take some of your injectable E2 please (valerate flavor cause I hate my thighs), some of your backdoor P4 for the hornies…and screw it, throw in some of your fine CPA, cause lactating sounds fun :3

    Wait this is interesting, what about spiro?

    I did spray and while that felt so good, it wasn’t effective enough at all, even with 5 spritzes a day. So I shifted to pills and that has worked much better.

    Downside, there is a shortage of T-blockers here which is very annoying…

      Oof yeah, I’ve heard bad things about spray. Pills are alright, but I’m a huuge injections advocate, lol

      Spiro is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It makes you pee (a LOT!) out all of your sodium, so you end up having lots more potassium in your blood. That means you crave salty stuff and you have to be careful with what you eat…too much potassium can be a problem…

      You mention a blocker shortage. Pardon me for being blunt, but tbh, with pills and a blocker shortage, I honestly don’t believe your levels are correct. Pill monotherapy is technically possible, but for only a handful of people, while with injections, you can almost certainly skip the blockers.
      Have you gotten a blood test?

        Aah, thanks! I def also do want injections, but in my country they’re not available with insurance, you’d have to DIY.

        interesting… so spiro is a different kind of E? Or–?

        I def did have a blood test, last one was a few months ago and I finally got to cis levels, and my boobs feel sore when pressing, so that’s good signs they’re finally actually growing… But that was when I had access to blockers.

        Now that I’m on pills, annoyingly there’s been quite a few “shortages” with the T-blockers. Even the 4-week-dose blockers have run out, which is incredible. So I think I’ll just DIY buy them, ugh.

          Ah, I see.

          Spiro is a blocker. It’s weak and it makes you pee, but it’s a blocker. Originally a blood pressure medication, lol.

          Huh, interesting…those are indeed “good” results, I’d say. Well, keep it up!

          DIY blockers sound like a good idea. With pills…yeah, I’d do it. I recommend cypro if you can, but no more than 10mg daily! It may be expensive tho, idk. Spiro should be fine too.

          Good luck! ♥️
