if a transexual takes birth control pills what are the dangers and how would it affect erection, hair,voice?… by jimm
I'm a transexual,30 years old ,175 cms,72 klgs cannot pay for hormone therapy , my friend told me that birth control pills have female hormones in them and that if i take them my body hair will get lesser,my voice will get more feminine and my little breasts will become fuller. is that true?? and how much a dose should i take per day? and for how long ??
but on the other hand a pharmacist told me that i can no longer have erections?? is that true , and what about the hair on my scalp ??? and face ??will i become bold if i take birth control pills ??
Best Answer:
BCPs come in different forms. if you cant afford HRTs then you'll need to stick with a pill or patch that has only estrogen or the lowest dose of progestrin/ highest dose of estrogen. if you start HRT, then yes you will start to take on a more female body type but while you still have your testicals, you will be producing testrone, this will become less HRTs are taken daily and forever. you will still be able to have erections, hair reduction on face and truck will go slower, breast tissue will enlarge at a slower pace. You will not lose your scalp hair unless your already going bald. the hormone that signals male pattern baldness is DNA linked. I would hope that even with limited funds, the strength you have to live as a transgender person, you would seek out a doctor who can guide you and keep you healthy and prepair you for the crazy ride that comes with living as a female and making peace with our hormones. Desogen,Apri and Nordette are BCPs that could be helpful, but HRTs are your best bet. Climara,Estraderm and Estrogel are all transdermal and cost less. if all else fails check with the drug companys in your country, most have free medication programs for low income. Please be safe in your journey and good luck.
