See title. I’m on HRT for over 11 months now, thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve a hunch the dose is a bit low, though. I get androgen blockers every 2-3 months, my last one was one month ago.

Normally my arm hairs aren’t very visible, so I didn’t have much dysphoria from that. However, recently my arm hair seems to be growing a lot and thicker, and I’m concerned. Is this normal?

My mum doesn’t really have a lot of arm hair, nor do other gals in my family.

    thanks! Looks like good T suppression - but August was a while ago, and your E was pretty low … what anti-androgen are you taking? It could just be as simple as needing a dose adjustment on your anti-androgen, esp. because those E levels are not likely enough to suppress T on their own.

      My antiandrogen injection is Pamorelin, 11.25 mg. One injection every 12 weeks. Also, should I best get that injection before or after the blood test (that will indicate my E and T levels)?

      The Lenzetto is 1.53 mg / dose.
