[QUOTE="S1W, post: 100669, member: 16947"] I frequently think (worry?) about the consequences of long-term HPTA suppression from TRT. In a recent conversation with my wife, I was discussing some of my concerns and she asked, "What is so different about TRT, which is basically just taking hormones, that it could affect you much more negatively than all of the millions of women that are also taking hormones for birth control and basically don't have any problems with it?" I didn't really have a response. I read a bit about it and female birth control, which is far more common among women than TRT is for men, does indeed seem to shut down LH. Women have been doing this for a long time, and although I have heard of some women suffering a few mild side effects, I have not heard of any women having any lasting or serious issues because of hormonal birth control use. Does anyone know enough about this to speak to how the male/female HPTA might be different, and the different role that LH plays in men vs women? Because long-term HPTA suppression in women, at least at a glance, seems to be a non-issue. [/QUOTE]
