Recommended Posts

ok so i started my perod when i was like 16 but it was way random and had no pattern

so the doc put me on the pill, been on it for 2 years now, but i stopped taking it 6 weeks ago

but i havent had a period since

its been great but now im starting to get worried should i go to the doctors?

but i dont want to go back on the pill again, as im looking to transition

I don't know how it works, but if you build up whatever chemicals in your system, it could take a little while for them to come back. six weeks is only enough time for one cycle, so I think there's still time for it to come back, especially if you said it was really irregular. Maybe wait a little while before going to the doctor, if you do want to.

The only thing I can say is that(even if I'm far from a doctor of any sort) it sounds like Cody_T has a point - chemicals can take time to be flushed out of your system.

Leo always go to the Dr.

Never self medicate and you aren't but never self diagnose and you might be.

Dr's. really are better than we at diagnosis and evalution...Mia.

Hmm.

With your bone structure, shoulder width, and how late and then irratic that was what I would be thinking of is having your natural homone levels tested pre-T AND having your chromosomes checked.

16 is rather late when you think of most of todays adolescents having that anywhere between 10 and 12 and if I remember reading correctly the extraordinary lateness is sometimes part of intersexing; some types of which would be "mild" enough to give you in appearance all the "normal" apparate and not have you have really any "drastic" reasons to look for it (like illness). Who knows, it might be sufficient to tip the scales in your favor with the docs and the insurance company if it were so. Either way though, keep an eye on it even though (as I was told) "When it goes away we don't really worry, its when it becomes too often that we get concerned. Those are the danger indicators." Still and all a doc is the best bet. As they say "he who has himself for a patient has a fool for his doctor."

That's odd. Maybe you should see if you could consult your doctor over the phone or something?

I'm having a sort of similarish issue. Mine has always been regular, since the first time I got it, and now it's almost 2 weeks late. Weird. XD Maybe all the Pre-T ftms are just suddenly boycotting our reproductive organs!

Uterus: I want to bleeeeed.

Ftms: No. You don't exist, no bleeding allowed!

Uterus: ...Okay then.

=D A foolproof theory. =P

Sounds reasonable to me. Mind over matter.

I'm no authority, not being a natal female, I have no first hand experience.

I do know however, that there is a reason for them, it isn't just to be unpleasant, it is necessary.

I would definately see a doctor, there is something going on that shouldn't be or more acurately something not going on that should be and that could lead to very serious health problems, please see your doctor.

I love you , Leo and I don't want to see you taking any risks with your health,

Sally

Well I was like 13 1/2, and I was for the most part regular (although my regular was always 45 days, almost to the day...) until like November...lol. Now I don't know if it even qualifies as (the title of this thread) because..well it's not working that way anymore. It's either continuous for weeks or nothing at all. And it's not like it's something I want to bring up to a dr. because 1.) it's not something I particularly enjoy talking about in general, and 2.) I don't want to be put on birth control because that would be an absolute nightmare, I think. But since I want my hormone levels tested anyway (testosterone levels, really), and I need to ask my parents for the money to do so, and this would give me a physical reason that I'm getting the test done (therefore I can avoid explaining to them everything that's going on..) I think I'm going to bring it up with my therapist. And like you said maybe it will help me out financially.

And did I mention, since you brought up bone structure and shoulder width....that I have like 34-34-35 measurements? lol. And arm strength that some people have assumed I got from working out...which I don't even do.

I hope my mind isn't too powerful, and this indicates something physical going on.. :rolleyes:

I would just ask a doctor...but maybe that's just me, dying to find an answer for everything. lol

Doctor. ASAP. Danger Will Robinson.

<--is starting to think he needs to move next door to MG just to supervise his life (joking)

You need something MG, I think I'ma have to make you a long distance cousin at the very least to see what the heck you are doing.

Link to comment

man, I don't even know if I was ever regular since I can't remember it from one time to the next... from that I learned that if you go to the doctor, never say it's been more than 28 days if you're just guessing- cause then they do a pregnancy test.

And MyGen, doctor. Now.

Just flying in with my random 2 cents....

My partner was on BC for about 6 years... when She stopped it didn't come back for almost 2 years. After lots of Dr. visits (and $$) over that time period... the conclusion was the body adjusting and the built up chemical wearing off...

Based on how "glad" every doc I spoke to was back when that I was not having the situation you are I would say "yes". I could be wrong, but I think past a certain time limit is what they consider "hemorraging", not in the "you'll bleed to death" way, but in the "we need to worry and check your cells" way.

It's very light though, but continuously so. Still I wouldn't consider it normal....but it's something I'd prefer not to "fix". <_<

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.

      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.

      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!

      Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors.  As indeed they are.  It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery.  It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it.   Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty.  They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are.  They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.

      Hmmm .  .  . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie

      I think you should discuss it with your doctor.  I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.
