Please, please, please do not self med with hormones. It is incredibly dangerous. The hormones prescribed for gender therapy are not the same as female hrt. Yes they both contain oestrogen, but the mixture and dosages are very different. Yes i do know several transgender people who started their journey by self medding, but they all had fully investigated the requirements, got the right stuff, calculated the proper dosages for body mass. And then told their gp they were doing it and arranged the necessary regular endocrine checks to make sure they didn't kill themselves.
The effects you can expect from randomly taking female hrt include loss of libido, inability to get an erection, shrinkage of genitals, sterility, liver failure, blood clots and death.
There is a small chance of getting man boob growth, maybe eventually gaining one cup size. But possibly also getting breast cancer.
It will not stop facial or body hair growth. It will not cause any feminisation of facial features. It will not cause any change in voice.
If you wish to start down the road to transition, find yourself a local transgender support organisation, go there and speak with people that have real experience of this process. There are plenty of them about, try the GIRES website (google transgender gires) they have a national directory that may not be complete but will be a good start point.
I reiterate, do not take any more tablets, throw them away, and if you are feeling any side effects go see your gp and explain what you have done. You might be a bit embarrassed, but it could save you from doing irreversible harm to your body. |
