Spiro and progesterone should only be taken on medical advice. Sometimes it is needed and/or safe, sometimes not.
As for the pellet, I have one, don't know if it is BioTe but it is E nonetheless. Personally I think it is awesome, great levels and generally feel nice and calm because it is a constant steady dose.

I looked at their website and its got estrogen and testosterone. I've no expertise in this area, but it looks like its intended for cis women, who need extra T. But that possibly means the E level is lower than we need since they already have some. Not sure its really ideal. I've no idea what my endo uses.

I think I may have read it wrong. I thought it's combined, but now I think not.

Yeah i know. They also give the T to older men.
Btw every morning when i take my spiro I drink tea... so I say I have had my Tea with my anti T.
anyhow... I just get disappointed on the days I wake up and it looks like less breasts then the day before.
