Basically, how long would you have to be on estrogen before you could start getting some of the mental and emotional effects, but before you would start having any irreversible physical effects?

I am pretty interested in starting HRT, but I don’t necessarily want to go through the whole hassle of freezing sperm first if I end up not liking how HRT makes me feel. Nor do I want to wait a long time before starting HRT just to find out that it me feel like garbage. So I’m thinking about potentially taking it for like two or three months as a “trial run”?

Would that be enough time to get some clarity on whether or not I like how it works on me? And then I could stop it for long enough to freeze some sperm and then go back on, or just stop entirely, depending on if I like it or not.

Thanks friends 🙏💜

    You should really think through the possibility that once you start estrogen you will not want to ever go off of it, even to regain fertility.

    Yeah, that is a concern that I have… maybe it would be better to freeze sperm first, to be on the safe side.

    I’ve browsed that document before, but I’ll read it through and check out that channel, thank you!

    Everyone I’ve talked to has sung the praises of injections over any other method, so it’s definitely the one I’m leaning toward most
