hey i have been on anti-androgens for about 3 months now and i have not really noticed any differences yet..what are some of the things I can expect to see? I think I am starting to develop slight breasts, I have noticed I am getting bigger in that area and my chest hurts, but I might be just getting fat lol. So any ideas? Generally, at least, since everyone has a different experience. Thanks.

T blockers de-masculinize rather than feminize.

The reason it has a slight feminization action is that men also produce some E, so the T / E ratio changes and thus a slight breast enlargement can occur.

Also, spontanuous erections will stop, but not provoked ones (fantasy + contacT).

Skin gets less oily/softer and pores get smaller.

Metabolism changes (eat the same and you gain weight) and you feel colder.

Body odor will change.

Hair density and size will in time decrease (but it will take much more time than 3 months, though it may decrease in spead)

Hair on your head with increase in density and shaft size will increase (more likely if your younger).

thanks for that, and I'm 19, just in case that helps if there are any other comments

fat/metabolism

Curious, does it change the location of the body's fat reserves in any appreciable way? Gaining weight such that it goes to the butt/hips/face/etc instead of just the gut.

No estrogen supplement b/c that's not happening right now, I'm still living at home...stuff like that...

And the fat question is a good question!! well done! I was wondering that too!
