I’ve been wondering if the reason I’ve only seen small results after nearly two years is that while my levels are fine by body can’t do what it’s supposed to. And if that’s the case should I just quit hrt

    You aren’t getting zero results. You are getting results, but can’t see them accurately because that’s how being raised in a transphobic society so often manifests for us when combined with mental health struggles

    From my understanding how a body responds to HRT is basically down to luck. Changes can be large, small, fast and slow. The chances of seeing large changes might decrease over time but is probably never zero.

    One thing to note is that we are often our worst critics. We see all the things that haven’t changed or things changed so gradually that we never noticed. These changes can be obvious to those around us while we remain blind to them.

    The question I would ask is do you want to continue taking HRT? Is it causing you an undue burden or harm? Will stopping make you feel better? Will stopping make you feel worse? These are probably things to discuss with a doctor to help you come to a decision.

    You have been asking us if you should quit hrt for months now and our answers are always going to boil down to no you shouldn’t. You honestly look fine imo and I think at this point you need to see a therapist because there’s only so much random Internet people can do for you.
