Wait, isn't prog a t-blocker?
I've been on E for about 6 months, but this last month or so I have been taking them irregularly due to personal circumstances.
Prog doesn't block or suppress T, research is spotty so it's not 100% clear what all it does but it appears to affect mood and breast growth at the very least
at only 6 months everything ur experiencing is to be expected, thats not very long
boobs take years, things slowing down and speeding up is normal
also you should still get your levels checked :p
I'm kinda scared about the legal consequences of getting my levels checked and it being found that i am doing diy. Plus I need a prescription from the GP to get a check to begin with, and would probably need to tell him about me doing DIY.
I'm not sure how much I can maintain my privacy and still get checked. Like, I guess the government knows I am trans cause I did get a referral to a gender clinic (my waitlist number has been going up instead of down somehow. God bless europe and God bless austerity). However, they don't know about me doing DIY.
in most places you can just pay for private blood testing
It takes a long time for hrt to work. I still get random boob spurts after 10+ years hrt. I generally consider 2 years of fully effective hrt to be the baseline for most changes.
