Chemical castration and estrogen just to try it

[mat02]

Hi everybody, I would like to ask about whether anyone here has any experience with chemical castration and what it could do in combination with estrogen over just a short period of time.
I would like to try it for about a month, but I'm a bit afraid my boobs will grow too much and it will be irreversible. The combination I'd probably use is spironolactone and about 0.5 mg of estrogen per day.

I think it will not do much because if you use it just for a month it is such a short period of time.

I started out w/ chemical castration using Lupron, and a month later started an E patch, IIRC initially 0.1mg/day, and after a few changes now been at 0.075mg/day for the last year or so.

I did get breast growth fairly soon, not sure if it was significant at one month or not, but they were definitely very tender and sensitive, and were for about the next 9-10 months until they stopped growing -

I'm not sure what would happen if you took the E for long enough to trigger the growth process and then stopped... (As I've said before, they are bigger than I'd like, but if I have even a T-shirt on, I fit within the upper range of "normal male")

I would note that oral estrogen is NOT recommended as it can cause other side effects / health risks, largely because it requires a very high dose because of how much of it gets chewed up by body metabolism... Injections or patches are MUCH better because they bypass the entire digestive process, and therefore require a much smaller dose....

I think chemical castration under medical supervision (and possibly with a more effective drug than spiro) for short periods is reasonably safe and unlikely to cause any lasting problems if / when you stop.... I would not advise experimenting with E unless you are OK with the risk of getting big
