cpa isn't FDA approved I think. I'm in EU where it's much more common than spiro and it is just better by the current literature. online english spaces tend to be US centric so you see a lot of spiro talk.

what's nice is that i was able to stockpile it for a while and then one of my gfs was able to switch to it from spiro without needing a script, I get enough from the pharmacy for both of us hehe. and I wouldn't worry, 50mg may be too much for hrt but it shouldn't have done any harm from what I know if you were presumably on estrogen at the same time.
yeah it's a pain. I guess it can vary from person to person, my choice to go to 6 was also informed by anecdotal accounts on bsky of its effectiveness at that dose, and for me my T is perfectly acceptable at 6.25 along with my estrogel. I didn't really experience the increased energy and stuff that some folks report with the lower dose, but relying on less of a drug is just nice. also yeah it's off the wall that we used to get prescribed more than 50mg, that's gotta do some damage.
you may have seen this before but this is what informed my decision: https://transfemscience.org/articles/cpa-dosage/
I'm fairly sure because of its long ass half life 12.5 every other day is more or less equivalent to 6.25 daily! I haven't noticed any mood or energy issues since switching:)
cypro is a significantly more effective T blocker with less side effects and will be preferable in the majority of cases. it's also a progestogen iirc which is cool?
cypro is busted, I cut to 12.5 every 2 days a while ago and still have next to zero T. would honestly like a little more lol, maybe I should cut it even further.
what i would give for naturally red hair lol. my mam has it but I'm more of a brunette/dirty blonde depending on the season. I'm pretty sure HRT made my hair curly though which rocks
astarion is best boy imo, not that the competition is super great. I found his good ending to be probably the most emotionally resonant scene in the game, really hit me hard.
real lol. I'm banned from the big trans discord in my country because of the unspoken "no communism" rule. no big loss I guess
i personally feel like weed makes me more autistic lol. it definitely helps with stress and sleep though which is nice, as well as allowing me to focus better on an activity rather than feeling listless and bouncing around. i've been a stoner on and off for like 10 years now, but currently trying to quit for an extended period mostly for financial reasons:(
i think that kind of behaviour is probably considered gay by the rules of patriarchal masculinity
