So, my endocrinology intake is swiftly approaching, in November. I'm excited and anxious. They would at least start me on testosterone blockers, right? Or is it more waiting?

I know I will still have to shave , until I have laser hair removal, but, will I be able to go longer than 10 hours without feeling stubble?

Will I be able to go more than one day without shaving my body hair without looking at my chest and arms in disgust?

I know YMMV, but I was just hoping things will start getting easier soon, like maintenance.

November will be my 4 year tranniversarry. Testosterone blockers and orchiectomy had no change on facial hair growth. I did have about 6 sessions of laser which may have caused parts to go white/translucent so I'm currently doing electrolysis. My body hair has slowed tremendously. My back hair is gone. My chest hair has reduced itself but black flecks show up after a week or so of shaving. Arm hair is white/translucent and feels more velous. I can use an epilator on my arms and legs to get them exceptionally smooth.
