Taking hormones?

[Mary Lee]

I believe the folowing information found at wikipedia.org should be of interest to all as it answers many of your questions. Such as bone change and breast development. Note that because of the width of the male chest, the male and female might have the same cup size but the male breast appear smaller because of his broad chest size.

Very interesting article, have already seen the increase in the breasts, can no longer hide them even in baggy shirts. Thighs and butt looks great in jeans, and yes it does take twice the exerise to lose the weight.

One's metabolism slows down and one tends to gain weight, lose energy, need more sleep, and become cold more easily. Due to androgen deprivation a loss of muscle tone, a slower metabolism, and physical weakness becomes more evident.

hhmmmm...That explains why I've been so sleepy. :daydreaming:

Caffeine is my friend :drink:

Hi, I wonder if taking spiro which surely kills the testosterone d riven sex drive, would automatically have the negative impact as far as osteoporosis risks,etc. I had a testosterone test taken after being on spiro for nearly a year (200 mg a day) and my darn levels-on that testosterone test-were right in the middle of the normal range! I am happy to be free of the destructive libido that controlled me, but would like not to have brittle bones. I would love an orchi, but I sense that might lead to bone problems or the need to take estrogen. I was on that briefly, but started to 'show' too much chest! thoughts? thanks, Helen

If you want an orchi, why wouldn't you want breasts?
