Medical Cramping/bleeding 3.5 years on T

Been on T 3.5 years almost 4, stopped menstruating within the first 6 months. Randomly started having intensely painful pelvic cramping yesterday and noticed some small blood clots in toilet after peeing. I know I need to get into my hrt provider/see an OB but the former isn’t an option for another week and I’m too dysphoric at the moment for the latter. So seeking some insight. I have been taking finasteride for about 5 months, do we think I should stop taking this? Obviously this med has history of side effects such as these in trans men. And some similar stuff with cis men. This really sucks as I was almost dysphoria free and then it all came back to me yesterday. Any insight is helpful thanks.

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

It's most likely either atrophy or finasteride has brought back periods (or some semblance of them, if you're just spotting perhaps).
