verolenawhat is some advice you have for a freshly 15-year-old girl/enby like me?
TheLeadenSeaIf you’re trans, get on HRT as soon as you can. Most of the effects are not irreversible within just a few weeks, and if you have biochemical dysphoria that it alleviates that would be really great to know - also the younger you start HRT the better effects it can have and needs less surgery/money/dysphoria later. If you’re cisfem though, you can disregard this.
Dont take spironolactone (it fucked up my kidneys). If you want tits, take pure estradiol.
Don’t take advice that doesn’t come from a doctor.
(Did you take spironolactone for Hyperaldosteronism, or just for the breasts. Because those side effects look horrible)
Hey person, my licensed doctors told me I was supposed to put my entire weekly dosage of estradiol on every Monday. So there, doctors are not infallible.
Oh, is this a common occurrence with spiro? I heard it once from a stranger in a bar, but I’ve never heard it elsewhere until now.
I’m gonna disagree. At 15, I’m absolutely fine with you wanting to be a different gender, but your body and brain have a long way to go before they are fully developed and adding chemicals isn’t something I can get behind. In the same way that avoiding peanuts is linked to causing peanut allergies, at 15 your body generally knows what to do. There are certainly edge cases that a qualified doctor can advise on, but I’d caution against adding to the crazy mix of hormones that are already racing through any 15 year old’s body.
