Are you prepared for the consequences of doing so? HRT isn't just about testosterone, after awhile your body can stop producing other hormones and you will have to chase me down and supplement that too. Along with constant bloodwork to ensure your lipids, liver, kidney, heart, and cholesterol are under control, you are going to be stuck with pinnin for the rest of your life. Imagine the hassle of traveling to a country like Australia!
Don't get me wrong, HRT can be the best thing to happen to someone but it is not something to be rushed into. I'm sure some of our TRT/HRT guys can chime in on this issue.
PS I have heard people bridging with peptides to retain and even build a little muscle off cycle. I've been looking into it and if I find reliable info ill pass it along to you.
