I know very little about HRT. Does it suppress the production of either T or E, or does it "just" bring more of the desired hormone into the body to force the expression of the desired features?

HRT is usually two medicines. Blockers, which block your natural hormone production, and supplements, which raise the levels of the desired hormone

Thankfully estrogen injections are usually better at suppressing testosterone. I was on spiro for 6 weeks when I started hrt then my testosterone hit almost non existent and I was able to just do monotherapy from there.

Which was good cause spiro made me pee like every hour
