Yes, they are progestin-based, so I'll be risking the depressive episodes again. And it might take me a year to figure out they are causing them, as the depression has a delayed effect.
Also I cannot sleep/live without 200mg progesterone - half oral and half anal. Sometimes both oral if I CBF.
our free list is 5 years long, otherwise I gotta pay 20-30, or risk going to thailand, where multiple friends have had theirs botched

Cypro causes PMDD-like depression as I seem sensitive to progestins, ruling other several other blockers. I either take estrogen via pill (3 progynova 2mg) or gel (3 or so squeezes).

Oh fuck, this is SHGB even taking lots of magnesium, Zinc and nettle tea...
Is Boron safe?
However, I'll chat with my Endo, as I think you are pinpointing me in the right direction! ty!!!
Finally, I'll likely lose my GP - who is the only trans GP nearby. I can't drive either.

And I live in rural victoria - DIY isn't very accessible and again, I am terrified of a stroke. And I genuinely don't know if its my OCD or the risk is real, but given my blood pressure spikes from LC I dunno if I am willing to take the chance.
Also my T isn't remotely suppressed either.
Oh its the SHBG? It is routinely absurdly high. I am still told to get the dose lowered for stroke risk. I don't know what to do and my GP and Endo - the latter who is harm minimisation - was terrified of my levels last time I got them checked.
Is there anything that can *safely* lower it?
The NHS has now stopped all medication - puberty blockers and hormones - for trans minors. For most, unless they get drugs from other sources, this means a lifetime, in an increasingly violent and transphobic society, unable to pass. Under Wes Streeting NHS policy is harm and death for trans people.

It's going to be a while before I can get a consult for GRS (I can't wait, the risk is too high due to below) which I'll likely GFM. My life is at risk, as well as further disablement. Add OCD, and its a nightmare. For reference, I live is Aus.
09.03.2026 08:22 β π 20 π 6 π¬ 1 π 0Currently off injections as my trough levels were 2000+, due to stroke risk... but I felt better?

Like... if I have to detransition, I am killing myself. Same if I have a stroke, as them I am not allowed to get bottom surgery.
And as you can see, my OCD is having a terrible time with this.
Like I feel like the WPATH levels do not apply to me, I absorb more E and need more E to feel results. However... detransitioning is not an option as my HS quickly progresses and it is deeply painful and gross and is triggered by androgens. Cypro/GnRH causes depression, Spiro worsens POTS.

Injectables DID HELP (energy, T suppression and HS goes away) but I was told I was at a very high stroke risk given my e levels were 2000-4000. I am terrified and not doing well.
09.03.2026 08:16 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0AFAIK I am XY. But I am really, profoundly worried about picking between a stroke risk and detransitioning. I am not able to get bottom surgery any time soon. Bica (75 a day) only barely suppresses the effects of T. My body is not responding to HRT normally at all and it could kill me.
