OH!
If your HRT is causing you problems talk to your doctor about your concerns, and specifically question the progestins...
Those particular progestins can be some nasty buggers.
With that much spiro you shouldn't need any other anti-T. Spiro is a sledgehammer of sorts to the entire T pathway. It's part 5ARI blocker, part 17,12 blocker, and part something else, as well as being partly a receptor antagonist... So basically, by the time you're taking that much of that particular drug, your T is trashed.
You MIGHT consider some small amount of spearmint, not for the t-receptor antagonist aspect, but because it does more for blocking SPECIFICALLY body hair receptors than anything else.
I don't specially recall which ones, but there are certain injectable forms of estradiol that spike at injection time and last about 2 weeks instead of only one. And contain ONLY estradiol, not any progestin. Ask about one of those.
And as for herbs messing with / not messing with HRT... The answer is it shouldn't if you use the right ones. Natural hormones yes. HRT no.
In natural women it is possible to cause damage to their natural hormone pathways by introducing too much stuff that looks like certain hormones shutting off natural production. Or making it go crazy high instead.
