I ditched them just in case my T got cut off. I’d rather risk osteoporosis than have too much estrogen in my body.

I have no family history of breast ovarian prostate or cervical cancer (these are all related. Uncommon knowledge for ya), and expect to have relatively consistent access to Some kind of HRT even if it isn’t what I want (I DO have a family history of osteoporosis), and I know I would worry too much about a loose ovary just flopping around in there disconnected from everything else (they'll do that!), so I'm gonna remove them both.

I don’t think it matters if your taking Testosterone but if your not then you should keep them to help balance your hormones

my only hesitancy is if my testosterone access gets cut off for whatever reason and the lack of hormones could cause health issues
