Hi computer trans people, it's me, again, going on about my HRT, again.I contacted my doctor after posing my questions about Anti-Androgens and the possibility of mono-E therapy. Her thoughts seemed to be those of waiting until I got my E and T levels tested, and then making a decision from there (would be in two months). She clarified that Spiro is the only option for an AA, because they do not prescribe Bica due to the risks involved with the liver. My main question is: Spiro now, or wait and see what my E and T levels are? Is there any benefit to starting Spiro sooner rather than waiting (quicker and/or "better" results)? And, one last question, will I have to start buying like 3 jars of pickles each week on Spiro? (/j).
Again, thank you all, even if you don't have any thoughts or answers. You all helped my egg crack, and have pretty much been one of the only sources of community guiding me along the way. Just feel like I should say how appreciative I am of this comm and all of you trans-heart

bica causes liver problems very rarely in people with prostate cancer who are prescribed 100-200mg a day. dr powers prescribes trans women 25-50 mg per day and has mentioned that after prescribing hundreds of women bica, has never seen it cause liver problems

I would have to find another clinic if I wanted to do Bica then (I might depending on how well the spiro works), Planned Parenthoods don't prescribe it.

that sucks, im sorry. buying bica from DIY sites is expensive as hell too. us healthcare is the worst
