Trans Talk on Yik Yak | so hip bone growth only happens if you take E before peak bone density is reached right? and if you block T without taking E, you can suffer bone density loss. anyone know if this reduced bone density can allow for hip growth once you start E?

i ask because my estrogen scrip hasn’t been approved for over a month because my MA sucks at paperwork, so i’ve been on just spiro for a little bit now. crossing fingers that it’ll actually have been helpful waiting somehow

unlikely tbh, you need to be deficient in both for a WHILE

I started hormones at 22 and my hips shifted up until fairly recently (I’m now 26). YMWV. In terms of degeneration, it would take a fair bit of time before that really kicks in. A few years, even. Damaging your bones won’t result in a change that may or may not happen depending on how your body responds. Basically, you’d see that kind change based on your body, not on if you have any osteoporotic degeneration beforehand. It wouldn’t be very good to let that happen either way as it may be—

yeah probably not for me. i was just thinking maybe its a thing that could be researched. it’d definitely be risky, but potentially worth it?

that there is permanent bone damage. Make sure you’re getting vitamin D and keeping a good calcium intake if you’re blocking T but not on E. A month won’t really do too much either way, but it’s still good to be proactive in caring for yourself.
