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'm kind of torn on this issue. On the one hand, I have met or seen youngsters, and there is very little doubt they are trans. It would seem cruel to deny them care toward this end. On the other hand, there are many others who may dip their toes into the waters while exploring themselves only to realize it isn't who they are. My daughter had a friend like that in high school. First he wanted to date her. Then he thought he was transfeminine for a season then realized that wasn't him.   We go slow on so many other things with kids. We don't let underaged folks drink or vote. We would question someone who locked into a career at age 12-15 (though there ARE some people who do know exactly what they want to do when they grow up very early in life). We would discourage marrying very young, etc.   I'm never crazy about government regulations on things because they tend to screw everything up. So I hate this has become such a political football where neither side listens to the other... But there is wisdom in going slow and allowing things to play out and making sure before such drastic measures as blocking puberty and having surgeries are taken...   Of course, it should be a person-by-person decision, working in concert with family, community and medical professionals, but it seems we never want to do it this way. We always seem to want to throw everyone and everything into a one-size-fits-all dynamic...

      Hey all, been on estrogen monotherapy for about two months. Man, I am just tired all the time. I feel like I have a low-level cold. Hard to get out of bed in the mornings. Even when I get in a good 8-9 hours sleep. Just have the blahs. Leg muscles are sore, like I ran all day...   There are a lot of other potential factors. I drink way too much caffeine (though I have always done that and not always felt this tired). I tend to stay up late on nights when I have to get up early the next morning. Not enough exercise. Have some thyroid issues, though I thought I had those back within normal ranges. Possible low potassium levels.   I realize no one here is a medical pro, per say, just curious if it is in others' experience to feel extreme fatigue for a season when starting HRT. This is one of the reasons I chose not to do spiro, is that I read it could cause lethargy and fatigue and make you pee all the time (I am having those issues too), but I am having a hard time with these effects anyways.   I suspect my T was low before I even started HRT (just by observing how the, err, equipment, hasn't functioned so robustly over the past few years)... Maybe my body isn't sure who is in charge right now in terms of hormones since a new sheriff has arrived but only in minor quantities at this point... thanks again!   EasyE

      I relate to a lot of this ... in my 50s now ... never really questioned my body but have always been fascinated with girl stuff (and loved that I had two daughters because it gave me an excuse to explore the feminine world more)...   I like how you said this: "When I dared to take another peek inside, my egg cracked big time." Yep ... yep ... yep...

      Sorry to hear you lost both your parents young. My dad died from a heart attack when I was 10. My mom died a few years ago. I never came out, truly, to either of them, about my gender identity. On one hand it is freeing, not having to deal with “what would they think or feel about me now” but on the other hand, I wish they had truly known.

      This is fantastic, We're adding a Boxer to our family sometime this evening or tomorrow. His name is Parker. We'll be crate training him as well as introducing him to two cats that have never been around a dog.   Pictures to follow later,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I still don't understand how any queer people can vote for these people.  I'll just leave it at that.

      Thanks Kathy!    Some place where the peer pressure is to dress more feminine instead of less.  Imagine that. I haven't left the house in fem clothing since an outing to a local LGBT club over 15 years ago.   She's also pointed me to some support groups so that's next as well.     And for those who noticed, yes, I committed a rather egregious grammatical error in my post, but I couldn't figure out how to edit it.  That stuff bugs me to death. Geez Louise .

      Just more of the same.  Unfortunately, I'm coming to expect it.

      Everybody doesn't feel this way. As a AMAB child (in the 50's) I don't think I questioned my body, but I was quite fascinated with girl stuff.  When puberty hit I really wished I was a girl - but alas - I was stuck living as a guy.  As an adult I had pretty bad  homophobia, which was probably internalized transphobia, but I didn't really know what transgender was at the time.  And by then I was locked into a marriage and family. I lived like that for most of my life, and convinced myself (but not my wife) that I was happy.  When we were in our 60's, the marriage fell apart.  And I believe a large part of that was me resisting my feminine self.  When I no longer had to live up to being a man, I dared to take another peek inside, and my egg cracked big time. I still don't think I was "born in the wrong body."  Maybe it just needed a little tweaking. I think our "gender" is an internal thing.   I don't regret having lived so long trying to be a guy.  But if I could have transitioned as a child it would have been awesome.

      Said it is possibly ptsd and anxiety,wants a second opinion.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
