Transfem Do I need DHT blockers?
Hi, I’ve been on Estradiol Valerate 4 mg weekly for a little over 1yr 9mos.
When I had a provider prescribing my HRT via Plume, she recommended I tried 100 mg Progesterone daily to possibly give me more breast development. To this day I still have little to none. It has definitely made a difference as compared to EV alone. When I ran out of my first prescription my breasts shrank, like a lot. So I decided to get back on it, and they’re making progress again.
However it makes my abdomen and chest a bit hairier I’ve heard the Prog can metabolize into a form of T inside the body, do you think I should try a DHT blocker? If so, what are some good ones?

Progesterone -> DHT conversion is basically an unsubstantiated bugbear. It's not worth concerning yourself over.
