Hey Jo-Ann,

I think it's good you got that out of your system.

Can you talk to your GT and let them know how you feel? If something's not right then something should be done, and your GT may be able to help you approach this constructively.

It may seem your endo hasn't got your levels where they need to be, but HRT is slow, from everything i've heard. If you hav barely seen any changes at all, that's different, and you should definitely talk to them.

Hi Jo-Ann,

I can understand it can get frustrating. Like Alice suggested you should maybe talk to your GT and get a different doctor for your HRT.

HRT response is going to be different for each of us and some take longer than others. In a year you should have had several blood tests to check your hormone levels. How have those changed? It is not like we can just flip a switch and physically shut the boy off and turn the girl on. In any case you should talk to your GT and see if they can help you deal with this slow progress.

I agree with Alice and Mia in that you should talk with your GT to see what options are available to you. I would also suggest finding a different endo or a doctor who works with other transsexuals. Having experience in treating and monitoring hormone levels for transition is a must.

It goes against the received wisdom... but I heard of a study once where women whose T level was slightly elevated with pills or something actually became less aggressive. It was the ones who received a placebo with no hormones at all who became more aggressive. That said, it's only one study. Perhaps you got a burst of adrenaline or blood sugar?

Certainly checking your levels again can't do any harm though; I may be wrong. And it's good to vent
