How common are menstrual cycles? Do you experience them--and how is it? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm just over 90 days into feminising hormone therapy! I'm wondering how great the chance of a cycle is, is all. I kind of want to experience a period, but it seems I'm in a minority here.

I'm not on a full dose of E anymore due to changes in how I relate to gender stuff, but in 10 years of hrt I don't think I ever experienced anything like menstrual cycle, I didn't know that was even a possibility...?

I was never on progesterone, should that be relevant

It apparently happens.

Many posts on Reddit detail this, but it's Reddit. So far, it doesn't seem like anyone here has. It could be influenced by method of ingestion.

Huh. I've managed to have double orgasms, I guess that's kind of anomalous. I'd not heard of folks having menstrual cycles though

I started with an implant for blockers and estrogen patches, but moved to taking both orally later on
