Hii I'm nonbinary but I do want to look more masc. But I recently found out I have PCOS (Its not 100% confirmed by my PCP still waiting to see gynecologist for more treatment + confirming for sure).

What I was wondering is does anyone else have experience doing T (I probably want to mircodose) with PCOS? I'm asking because I'm worried that now its not a possibility at all for me with how messed up my hormones have been and that once I get them stable doing T would mess with it all too much, and wanted to see if anyone has any ideas?

I have PCOS and am on a normal dose of T. I had the same worries as you about messing with my hormones since it took years for them to stabilise!! But haven’t had any problems so far so I’m glad I didn’t delay starting any longer.

My endocrinologist also had no issues starting me on Testosterone. He wants me to get regular blood tests but that’s the same for all his patients.

I already had a bit of body hair and a bit of a moustache pre-T so timeline wise that is the only thing that seems to have happened quicker than normal (I’m on T 4 months now and already have to shave). I haven’t had any other outwardly noticeable changes except my voice dropping a little.
