I always hear that this gets easier when you're on HRT. I've been on hormones for a year now, and my balls are just as big as ever. Using a stripper g-string, I can sort of minimize the bulge... sort of. But it hurts when I sit down. And from there, I simply can't close my legs.
So... any thoughts?
What is your T level? My gonads are a fraction of the size they once were but my T is low.
As of November, it was 79. I'm sure it's lower than that now.
After 3 months of being on E, Spiro and Finasteride mine shrunk really noticeably. They even started to ascend into the inguinal canals without trying which made tucking easier and non-painful. Can you put yours "inside" like that?
Mine shrunk, but my T levels were much, much lower than yours. I never had readings above 20.

Naw, they don't fit in there. They're just these big, obtuse balls. Je pron n'ami pas.

Right, I also think T levels of 70 are probably too high (what units is that though?). I imagine as long as there is a decent amount of T in your system, they're going to be nurtured. Are you on a T blocker?

I don't really subscribe to the "you don't need a T blocker" philosophy unless you are post-orchie. You're going to produce T at times during the day unless you are somehow keeping the exactly right amount of E in your system 24/7 to stop the feedback loop. To do that, you'd probably have to take a large/risky amount of it. Right?
The units are NG/DL. I have no idea what that means. Anywhere between 348-1197 is "normal" for XY folk. Those numbers seem pretty specific. And mine was 79 in November.
I did some research, and I think it means nanograms per deciliter.
You're right, that seems OK after all. 79 ng/dl is 2.74 nmol/L which is within the normal female range but towards the high end according to that GP Notebook page.
