Anyone have any experience with hormone blockers like Lupron? I’ve been looking into them because I may be prescribed them for other health reasons (yeah… the “C” word). I am trans ;). Feminization effects is how it’s best described, but would like to get an idea of how it relates to other HRT experiences. Thanks !

Hi Jackie, I don't have a lot of experience so far, but I've been on sprironolactone for 5 weeks. It is supposed to help with breast development - it was originally a BP medicine in wide use until men complained of gynecomastia, so now it's a testosterone blocker that helps with HBP (giggle). SO far, no drastic effects, but I think I may be seeing a little more than "flabby pecs".

Hugs,
