I had a similar effect, my T has always been low and my endo was surprised my serum T was in the well below male average and free T was borderline low for male before I started HRT, specifically Spiro.

I definitely believe PM had an anti-androgen effect, I took it for 8 months roughly before starting HRT. And my T when to zero in less than 4 months on HRT, which is very quick!

I did notice slight budding and enlarged nipples on PM, I was on like 3g/day dose by the end. Also I do believe some people do get a strong response to PM due to sensitive estrogen receptors.. because it is very similar to the active form of estrogen, ethinyl estradiol. Which is what is prescribed in HRT too often (sometimes just oestradiol though) and similar reactions happen too.

If you are a TS like myself and are considering HRT and full transition, being on PM for a while beforehand isn't such a bad thing. I considered it like starting mild hormones early and gave me time to work through my transgender feelings before deciding to fully transition.. I'd recommend everyone considering transition to start on it

But do consult a professional!
