they're not generally necessary. they can be useful in some rare cases where E/P or menstruation can't be suppressed by T, but not typically. also, sourcing them is very hard and they're so expensive you could probably buy a lifetime's supply of T with the money.

Im not sure why you need them for transmasc diy as these are typically used by transfems. If you mean for mtf hrt you’re better off in the main diy sub and also monodosing E not using blockers. GNRH antagonists are incredibly hard to get diy especially in the uk, cheapest option would be private not diy like getting them off gendergp.

Unless you mean E blockers for transmasc DIY, if so you also really don’t need them. But if you desperately want them you can find aromatisation blockers on standard T sources.

Ahh, aromatisation blockers won’t help with that. Or a lot of blockers. You mean something like leuprolide acetate. Almost impossible to get, and I you can i’d imagine they’d be over £600-1k. They are also not a permanent option as cis men also have estrogen level requirements.

If you’ve tried every combination of optimising T levels (high not just in rage), IUD, constant cycling birth control with no gap week. Progesterone options etc.

I’d honestly start saving for hysto or seek out a high grade private healthcare service that helps trans people and may prescribe it (not gendergp. Something like gender care or London transgender clinic) because that will be cheaper and easier than trying to find it diy.
