Im not keen on wading into a thread with too much personal experience, but i dont take blockers because of how bad they were for me mentally. a doctor, and myself were keen to get my hormone levels within 'normal female range', which is very silly if you think about it.
I was depressed, lethargic, on the lowest blocker dose. Friends i know have suffered liver damage from blockers in high doses. (i cant remember what i was taking, it was not spiro)
if you do take blockers you just need to be stimulating bloodflow to your genitals, i was not told this, it took a while recover after i stopped taking them, it was really painful
I take 4mg of estradiol orally a day, its been half a decade, i feel the way i want to, i dont pass, its not important to me (anymore), other people presuming Im cis feels safer and more comfortable.
I know it can feel like it at times, but its not a race
The advice i was given was always to start with low doses and increase gradually
what ive written above is not entirely revelant in hindsight sorry lol
thank you! its totally relevant! its nice to have ur perspective :)
