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.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

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?

Testosterone Ranges: 11-36 in males, 0.8-3.1 in females (nmol/L)

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.
