“The old gender is dying, and the new gender struggles to be born: now is the time of boymodding”
I had been dreading opening my blood test results for over a month. I finally did just now and all the dread seems to have been justified... My T levels are 6 times higher than where I want them and my E is at half the level I want... I guess it's nice to know that there's a reason for me being so depressed and dysfunctional, but I'm also very tired of hrt not working, I've been struggling to get my levels right for like ~18 months at this point

I guess the 200mg of spiro a day isn't cutting it, but I'm also very hesitant to take more spiro I think it's gonna have to happen though at least in the short term
- You could try other anti-androgens. This is written by an enby who didn't want breast growth but spiro wasn't doing anything for them either.
- Take more E, not more Spiro!
- Does anyone know how much spyro is too much?
  
  i'm not an expert but i'm on 300 (blech) at the suggestion of my doctor, too afraid to change it, of course body weight/height/individual tolerances probably matter a lot
  
  When you're playing Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. /j
  
  Anyways, from my understanding, spiro doesn't lower T. It prevents T from binding to receptors (so T levels are less relevant). E is what lowers T if you are going the spiro route, but idk if sublingal/oral is that effective at it.
  
  I've seen up to 400 mg (for people taking it as a diuretic, not for HRT). I guess you just have to be more careful about your potassium
so quiet here when the amerikkkans are asleep ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙
- Ngl it is kinda lame how many hexbears are on amerikkkan time. Wanna see posts...
