Spironolactone and High Metabolism

I was terrified too but thankfully, I did not let my fear get the best of me and it paid off...I'm doing quite well on injections. Better than on pills or patches.

Too each their own! Glad to hear that you are doing well I think patches are the right route for me at the moment. Maybe I will re-visit the injectable idea, but right now I am just happy to be off the pills.

I have had a similar experience the the OP. While I have only been on hrt since the beginning of November, my testosterone levels have not dropped at all despite the fact that my estrogen levels have doubled. According to my doctor, Spiro can sometimes take 6-8 months to make a significant impact on T levels. I won't see her again till mid June, and am really hoping they have dropped by then. Only time will tell, but it definitely has me a bit concerned because my musculature  is one of the few dead give aways I have that is preventing me from passing most of the time.

Estrogen, sometimes progesterone and the lack of testosterone, over time increase subcutaneous fat which cover muscle which help soften features. Muscle mass also decreases. It takes awhile. Months to a couple of years.
