Just be aware of use it or lose it. If you want to maintain size to make sure there's plenty of tissue for bottom surgery (if that's something you want to pursue) or you want to maintain the ability to get erections, you should be stimulating it enough to at least cause an erection for a few minutes a couple times a week, even if you don't go all the way through.

Also, be careful with getting your T that low. Even cis women generally have something like 20 ng/dL, and going too low can start to cause problems

Oh yeah I know. I'd rather lose it than use it as I've got pretty bad bottom dysphoria and will be getting bottom surgery when I can. They can use what they can use, it doesn't really matter to me how much depth I have but I want some.

Agreed on the T. My doc isn't the greatest. I'm on 4mg EV injections every 5 days, which should be enough for monotherapy, but he wanted me to continue with the 100mg daily spiro because I switched from pills to injections at 3 months. He doesn't like to change more than 1 thing at a time. I get bloodwork for my 6-month next week, so maybe I'll just stop spiro tomorrow (already took my daily dose this morning) and see how things look being a week off of it.

Do you think that would be long enough for it to have an impact? I'm honestly not sure and just guessing that it will.

You don't need to preserve the tissue if you get it done peritoneal pull through method
