I also take finasteride and want to start cypro but afraid of getting gynecomastia. Sorry If I'm overstepping my boundaries here.

I also started it after using spironolactone for a while, so I'm unsure how I'd have reacted starting off on it with nothing having been done prior. Now I am at 12.5mg/day and it seems to be working just as well as 25mg/day was but I have yet to re-test my testosterone levels at this dosage. I lowered it fairly recently and I'm going to wait until I either get symptoms of rising testosterone or two months have passed to do a blood test.

At my current point if I do orgasm (rare) it takes a while and usually nothing comes out, but sometimes I get a drop or two of clear watery fluid.

I never get spontaneous erections and they are difficult to obtain, and orgasm is difficult to reach. My penis also tends not to get fully hard. Balls have shrunken a massive amount, and my penis has shrunken a good deal but it has been years since I started taking anti-androgens. I used to have huge balls, now they are tiny.

I agree with zeebster and jojo that getting a blood test for hormone levels would be a good idea. Without one, it's hard to know for sure where you're sitting at in regards to testosterone. Occasionally I pay for blood tests through privatemdlabs, and it isn't expensive at all, but I'm not sure what one would have to do to get a testosterone level check in the UK. Getting your liver enzymes checked on cyproterone wouldn't be a bad idea either.

It sounds like it might be working on you, from what you describe. The changes it brings on can come slowly, have you been consistently in your current state for a while, or have the symptoms been increasing over time?

In regards to erections, libido and all that: everyone is different. Two people could have equally nuked testosterone levels and still have very different libidos.
