    Oh wow, I suppose I should do some additional research! I’ve been taking it for ~2 years and haven’t had issues beyond what I expect from suppressed testosterone. Maybe swapping to a different one would nudge my libido back from the depths 🤔

      It’s more likely to lower your libido tbh. The true effectiveness of spiro is hard to measure, but other AAs that directly lower t levels might lower your effective testosterone even more. Prog is generally the way to go for libido issues

        My T levels are suuuper low, so I do feel like it is effective on that front. Unfortunately, prog never affected my libido, but everything else has been sooo amazing that it’s just something I’ve learned to cope with. I’m sure I’ll eventually explore options with my doctor at some point, so it’s always nice hearing other people’s thoughts and experiences with things!
