if i go on testosterone will i not have a period
Soso answered
Taking testosterone usually causes periods to stop over time, but it does not happen immediately and it depends on your body and your medical care.
When someone starts testosterone, hormone levels shift. Because periods are triggered when estrogen and progesterone levels drop at the end of a cycle, adding testosterone changes how the ovaries and uterus work. For most people taking testosterone as gender-affirming care, bleeding becomes lighter, cycles become more spaced out, and then bleeding stops entirely after several months. However, it takes time for the body to adjust, so spotting or uneven bleeding can still happen early on.
Because hormone therapy is medical care, a doctor and a grown-up work together to figure out the right treatment and keep track of your health. A doctor is the person who checks your hormone levels, watches how your cycle changes, and answers questions about what to expect for your specific body.
If you have periods right now, keeping an eye on what your body is doing is really helpful. You can track your bleeding and any symptoms in the Soso app to see how your cycle behaves day to day.
