I’m 23, transgendered(sort of) mtf. I started HRT therapy back in May, and while I’m really not considering going back on my decision, I’m kind of regretting starting it in the first place.

First of all, I’m not female, I don’t feel like a woman trapped in a man’s body. I’m not really gay, though I wouldn’t say I’m straight either, romance hasn’t really become much of an issue for me yet. However, I do get this strange giddy feeling when guys flirt with me. I’m very androgynous naturally, my testosterone levels are low naturally and I’ve been mistake for a girl ever since I was a kid. I’ve even made a few guys gay just by opening up that possibility to them. I was always very proud of my ability to "switch genders" whenever I wanted to. I could tie my hair back and act masculine, then let my hair down and pass as a girl at my very whim. But one day, about a year ago, I noticed a tiny line of hair in the center of my chest, something which had never been there before. I started getting scared of my body "fixing" itself. I began getting really paranoid of losing this androgyny, so I decided to go on HRT to prevent it(with a therapist’s approval of course, and no, I didn’t lie). The crisis(to me at least) was averted.

But now, I can’t help but feel reliant on these drugs. A gift I was born with is now only available to me because I’m altering my chemistry. Starting HRT gave me a new hope for a future, and has given me the courage to do things I would’ve never done as my old self, but I feel so fake, so manufactured.

Should I feel that way? These are my genes, it may be a foreign chemical but it’s my DNA that is shaping my body, just with different tools. But that chemical isn’t "me".

Why does this have to be so complicated and difficult?

I have had my uterus and ovaries removed, I am on HRT, but still get really hot sometime, but I don’t sweat? What could it be????

if you take mtf hrt for a year and stop how long will it take you to go back? if not what number of months is best to stop at? and will you look the same?.i ask in case they arent for me
please dontmeantion it being cazy im just looking for the answear thank you

i know women are far more vocal in bed with all the moans and what not. did you find after starting HRT that you becamse more vocal? i know you were always female in the wrong body.

Are there any rules against a person with a prosthetic foot joining the police and fbi? I lost my foot as a child but I am capable of meeting all of the requirments of the job so can I join the police and try out for the swat team or join the FBI and try out for the HRT?

Is there anybody who is past the age of 40 who can answer this question?

Have you ever been on HRT for a few years and stopped taking it because you felt that they were not working? If so, did you feel better as a result of stopping them; or did you feel the need to start them up again.
Also, were you given a saliva or blood test to see where your hormone levels were at?

I’m considering going on HRT, but I what to know after how many months will my sperm cease to be able to impregnate a woman. I also want to know how much my penis will decrease in size and in how much per month. Also after how many months will I not be able maintain an erection? I have penis six inches long when it’s fully erect. Any help on this is tremendous for me and my gf.

I am 45 and had a hysterectomy with one ovary removed when I was 41. I took a low dosage of HRT for two years and slowly reduced and stopped it. I am having severe menopause symptoms again and am miserable.Considering trying low dosage HRT again but worried about breast cancer risks. I am confused and weighing my options. What do you think about the risks versus the benefits of HRT?

Im looking for an Endocrinologist in the Dayton or Cincinnati area who deals with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for MTF transexuals. So far my search has lead me to a lot of dead ends. Most of the people I have talked to do HRT but not for transgendered people or they do not do self pay.

Hopefully someone will be able to help me narrow down my search.

Thanks,
Kyle.
