Testosterone blocker questions

So, my endocrinology intake is swiftly approaching, in November. I'm excited and anxious. They would at least start me on testosterone blockers, right? Or is it more waiting?

I know I will still have to shave , until I have laser hair removal, but, will I be able to go longer than 10 hours without feeling stubble?

Will I be able to go more than one day without shaving my body hair without looking at my chest and arms in disgust?

I know YMMV, but I was just hoping things will start getting easier soon, like maintenance.

    I've previously been curious about this, and I waded through a lot of reddit threads looking at all the anecdotal answers.

    A pretty fair number of folk said they eventually saw a large reduction in body hair on the torso especially, but that it took 3-4 years.

    You'll also see a lot of folk on 2 years of HRT saying it gives only a little bit of reduction.

    Hard to draw a strong conclusion here, but it seems hopeful! (I'm two years in and see some reduction, but I still have plenty of hair. Pretty sure it grows back much more slowly now, but since I didn't shave my body pre-HRT it's kind of hard to tell.)
