    Thanks! Yes, I think I need to talk to the clinic. 50mg/day of spiro seems far too low for someone my size

      Good luck with Spiro, it’s not recommended in Europe because of its link to higher chances of cancer and strokes. I was given a replacement once the UK NHS gender clinic took me in, of Decapeptyl.
      I used to take 100mg of Spiro every 12h. I ended up blitzing my T into oblivion aha
      Hormone alteration isn’t directly related to body size, though - you only need as much as needed to drop your body’s production of certain hormones. This requires blood tests to monitor.
