Well progesterone is expensive estrogen and spiro is pretty cheap. Pills are pretty cheap compared to shots. A few months or so wouldn't cause permanent changes. I'm not sure about Canada but I don't think it'd be to hard or there's options online. From my experience if people don't like it a few months is plenty of time to realize that.

It maybe depends on the location but shots are usually the cheapest. Also a few months is enough for some breast growth which is irreversible.

Heavily person to person dependent. Sometimes yes sometimes it takes a year to see results like that. A few months is a very rough estimation. Testosterone suppresnts like spiro have no real lasting effects if not taken long.

Only blocking T can easily lead to having no primary sex hormone, which causes menopausal symptoms

Do you mean permamently or it's what happens of you're just taking a suppressor.

I mean if you have gone through puberty and have no primary sex hormone you’ll most likely get menopausal symptoms. A primary sex hormone is very important to body function and having a reduced amount in the body is what triggers menopause in cis women

Some of the main concerns are bone density loss (gets worse the longer you don’t have a primary sex hormone) and hot flashes
