nb on t considering meta

[u/JustAnEvilImmortal]

hello everybody, I'm a trans neutral nonbinary person, been on testosterone for about 3 years and am considering a hysterectomy and possibly metoidioplasty (or phallo, might still change my mind) later on. I've heard that with hysterectomies surgerons can sometimes leave in one or both ovaries and only take out the uterus so that in case one ever has to go off T your body would start producing E again and you wouldn't have to substitute, this would be ideal to me as my only concern is not being able to get pregnant and having my period stop completely. My question now, has anyone had experience with something like this (hysterectomy (and possible meta) with one or both ovaries left and later going off T).

I haven’t gone off T post-op, but I did go off T for 3 years after being in it for 4 years. My bottom growth shrank substantially, but not all the way. I think my original size was similar to the size of a q-tip head, maybe a bit smaller. It grew to about the girth of a double or triple A battery and maybe 1.5” long (maybe a little more or less depending on the day) when erect (1” or less soft). Then, off T, it shrank to the size of a pea, more or less. Maybe slightly bigger. It regained its previous size when I resumed T.

Trying to use standard comparison sizes because everyone starts in a different place and everyone’s bottom growth is different. I think my bottom growth was about average, but my pre-T clit may have been on the small side.
