Hello All, just hoping for some guidance. Was on HRT for about 11 months and needed to stop and regroup. ready to start back now and looking for the most beneficial AA. Spiro did nothing for me plus having to watch potassium intake was a pain. would Cyproterone or Bicalutamide be better. Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you

The problem is the country you live in. Not all blockers are available in all countries and some may be illegal in your country. You need to work with your doctor to determine what is available and what's best for you. On the other hand, with proper monitoring and level adjustment, estrogen alone can act as a blocker in some people. For best results, this is something that you shouldn't DIY.

Some people use dutasteride. This can be used for people who do not do well on Spironolactone.

Cyproterone works great for me.  T went to zero within a week or two.  I feel much better.   Have not added E yet.

Good luck

* felt different like I did not fit, with strong feminine feelings and gender questions my entire life
* Sept 2016 - January 2017 real began to seriously question and research gender
* August 2017 friend explains transgender and gender vs sexual orientation, and immediately felt shock and begin to believe I maybe transgender
* March 2018 after 3 therapists, accepts I am transgender and am transitioning
* July 18, 2018 began HRT
* Feb 4, 2019 began Estrogen

I've been on it for a couple of years, due to BPH.  I'm just waiting to get into the endocrinologist for estrogen.

I'm a 65 year old male who has been thinking about SRS for many years.  I also was a  full cross dresser for a few years.  I wear a bra, pantyhose and nail polish daily because it just feels right.

Started HRT April 17, 2019.
