Ok, so I've been on hrt almost 2 months now. Haven't had my blood tested to see exactly how its going exactly with hormone levels and all that jazz yet, that's happening next month when I go back to the doctors. But, question is, is it a safe assumption to assume T levels have gone down by how those "things" down stairs are, acts, reacts, feels, etc.? Id assume it would, but Idk just wondering if its safe to try and judge how low the T is by it.

I did... but then again I'm pretty resistant to placebo effect. The best way I could tell is that my skin dries up. I never had dry skin b4 HRT, now my knuckles are usually very dried out. Also, your hair dries out with less testosterone. If your hair starts getting frizzy, that's another way to tell. Yes, sex drive is a good indicator but since the brain is the strongest sex organ in the body, you could just be experiencing a placebo effect.

Well, it is not unsafe to make that assumption hun 

If you are on anti-androgens and estrogen  then chances are it will be much lower than it was..

How are you feeling otherwise? any breast growth etc?
