HazelnootHRT question (fact-checking my doctor's advice)
Prism & Pen<p>I’ve never heard of any trans woman dreaming of her haemoglobin levels changing or of shifts in liver function.

Prism & Pen<p>Hormone replacement therapy for trans women consists of two main parts: raising estrogen and suppressing testosterone. Both of them have a significant, but quite different impact on bone structures, ligaments, muscle volume, strength, and stamina.<br><a href="https://medium.com/prismnpen/muscle-bone-and-ligament-science-in-trans-women-on-hrt-3116b7489257?sk=4ec4a1bdbe0bcd9b70525482968c350c" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">medium.com/prismnpen/muscle-bo</span><span class="invisible">ne-and-ligament-science-in-trans-women-on-hrt-3116b7489257?sk=4ec4a1bdbe0bcd9b70525482968c350c</span></a></p><p><a href="https://stranger.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/Transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Transgender</span></a> <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/HRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HRT</span></a></p>

Indeed your endocrinologist can do a simple blood check to identify in which part of your cycle you are and, if you’re nowhere close to ovulating, your doctor might give you the go to start the treatment (this is only valid for hormones treatment that are cycle based, of course)</p>
