    Congrats!

    obvs talk to a doctor about it, but in my experoence cypro was really bad for me, and i was only taking a quater pill every 3 days (it has a 70+ hour half life)

    a friend who was taking a whole pill every day ended up damaging their liver

    i know wanting to nuke your T is a pretty powerful urge, it makes me feel so icky, but a little bit of T is really important and ultimately good for you. A lot of older women end up taking T to boost their levels.

    I stoppped taking it as it tanked my mental health

    anyway, congrats again, make sure you keep getting your hormone levels checked with blood tests x

      It’s my understanding than in up to date recommendations, cypro is one of your last alternatives and with a preemptive and later control MRIs to check for brain tumors (meningioma) and similar issues. That’s just the scariest but other side effects aren’t happy either as you know.
