As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Ask them if monotherapy is available and suitable for you. As a monotherapy user myself, I've not experienced many problems with hrt that others have. Also ask them if cypionate or enanthate is available.
But other than that, ideally, the doctor should be the one informing you. Though depending on many factors, the doctors might not tell you everything or might have incorrect information. Trans healthcare is in a poor state and you have to think for yourself.
Thanks! I'll see what they say about monotherapy
Do note that monotherapy (usually) requires a form of hrt other than oral pills - usually injections, but some people are able to do it by taking pills sublingually (dissolving under the tongue) or bucally (dissolving between your gums and cheek).
There are other forms of hrt available but personally I favor injections because you don't have to do them as often, and the results are consistent.
If you do end up needing to use an antiandrogen, it's not the end of the world. It's just nice to have one less set of side effects to deal with.
I think patches can be mono sometimes?
Yeah some people do well with just patches; those are worth a try if you like the idea of it.
Gel also works for mono and I really find it convenient, but not available everywhere.
On the other hand, I hear gel is pretty easy to make if you can get raw estradiol.
