How important is Spiro (or another anti-androgen) for HRT? I got started with just Estradiol, and I was originally planning on doing both until I saw some contradictory information, first on reddit and then on transfemscience.org. It says it's not very effective, but at the same time so many people are on it so it must do something? If anyone could help clarify, I would greatly appriciate it ๐Ÿ˜.

If you are taking pills, anti-androgens are important. It's hard to get testosterone-suppressing estrogen levels without taking an unsafe amount of pills.

With injections, you can get your estrogen much higher without putting that load on your pill-processing guts.
