My T levels started really high (my T levels were higher than that of a teenager while I was 26), by the time I got my T levels to a proper level I was up to 300mg of Spiro (and on estrogen patches) and went into a sodium deficiency. After that I actually got to switch to Lupron which was great. Now I’m back on Spiro but only 50mg and my T levels are still at an appropriate level. I am also on injectable estrogen which I have found to be much better than patches. My doctors didn’t want to put me on pill form estrogen due to concerns for liver health.

This stuff comes in waves. I have been on hrt for close to five years at this point and I remember the first year, almost no breast growth. Year two, bit of a boom. Then very little growth but year 4 has been like 2-3 cups. Everyone’s body is different. I would definitely make sure your doc is checking on your blood work cause I know for me, my T didn’t get to an appropriate level till I hit the year and a half mark. And that T level can really slow down your progress.
