So I found a urologist in the hospital I work in who is willing to do an orchiectomy for me as long as I take two lupron
injections(I also have a therapist letter). She said she might be willing to do it even after one injection. Altogether it takes about 6 months unless I convince her to do it after 3 months. It all depends how I feel. I haven't actually had my appointment with her yet. It's in a few weeks. So far my nurse friend who works with her has been giving me this information.

I don't know any people that have had a lupron injection. Except one person online who is also a mtf trans and she claims she feels amazing after it. I know that many biological women have complained about bad side effects.

I get monthly Lupron injections in addition to Spiro and Finesteride.  I've yet to notice any bad side effects of anything I'm taking.  I've had three injections so far.. other than the initial pain of the injection.. no big deal.  I've you're planning on doing an Orchi then getting the Lupon injections should be no big deal.  As long as the urologist can distinguish between possible side-effects of the drug and side-effects of the T-blocking effect which is what I imagine he wants to observe before taking such a drastic step as an orchi.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully there will be no bad side effects for me either.
I'll post what happens.
