Will HRT make you sterile?

This might be a weird question but wont using your penis actually increase testosterone? Cuz if you are using spiro to supress it wont u need to produce T to use it ?

Ummmm.. No.. Use of the penis does not stimulate T production..

apologies for restarting an old post but i felt it was most appropriate to continue on from this one.

I am looking to go onto HRT soon but i am hesitant on fully investing in it. Im not sure if transitioning is what i want so i wanted to experience it without getting too irreversible

I am expecting to be taking spiro and sublingual E as the forms of AA and E.

At what date of taking spiro  will i expect to have permanent damage to future fertility (permanently reduced sperm counts etc if i get off hormones) and what date will i basically expect full sterility (aka function never comes back)?

Welcome to Susan's Place. Once upon a time when I transition, HRT was cookbook. Everybody ended up with the same dosage and it worked better for some than for others. Today we understand that everybody isn't the same as to the levels of HRT required and how the body will responds. Providing information about what will happen to you would be guess work at this point. If children are of interest to you, it would be best to preserve your sperm before starting HRT so you will be sure the sperm will be available should you desire it.
