Just Another Question I Always Have On My Mind..

A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭
Red Deer, AB

I’ve been feeling like I want to ask my doctor for a while, but I thought I’d ask her and see if anyone else has ever asked this question, but does anyone ever wonder if the hormone blockers that people use to transition from male to female whatever be an option for us with high testosterone levels, why don’t we have options like this?

So actually that is one option.

I'm not a doctor so consult yours. But I was prescribed spironolactone. Which is a blood pressure med but is used off label as an androgen reducer for Trans folk. Or off label for hirsutism and cystic acne which is what i used it for. It worked for me!

Thats what i am saying. I have always thought about it and evey time i see a man looking and feeling more womanly than me it boils my blood. They even have programs and aid for trans conceive in laboratories.but just advantage of being lbgtq they offer discounts and financial aid to have baby. But for us straight women, we have to pay out of pocket. Regardless if you are rich or poor. Government provides aid to conceivable women but to the women that cant conceive, there is no aid for that. As if its a "me" problem and not a health problem.

That's a great question. Never thought about that. I use to take vitex to increase my progesterone levels and it regulates my cycles but only when constantly taking it tho.
