Despite using high levels of Spironolactone, my testosterone level is high for a transgender girl. I was wondering if anyone here has heard of using an Aromatase supplement to reduce Testosterone, as it converts Testosterone to Estrogen?

As far as I know there is nothing available like that Aromatase enzyme is the process of testosterone being converted to estrogen through either using excess testosterone where the body's homeostasis kicks in to try and bring back equilibrium by creating more estrogen ....been there ...big estrogen spike ....started crying at the drop of a hat ...hope that's not going to be a regular occurrence on hrt ....

Spiro also blocks testosterone and increases conversion of T to E.
