I know this is probably a common post but I don’t know how to talk to my doctor about this. I’m looking for other folks who have experience switching hormones and especially those who go to an lgbtq center.
While I’m not sure exactly, I think I need to go back on E to get some of the features and changes I want. But I’m scared. I’m afraid of what will happen once the changes start again. I will have dysphoria around some things and not others. I will go through mood swings and face depression.
The biggest hump for me to get over is to go to the doctor. I go to an LGBTQ clinic and when I started going there I wasn’t on T anymore and it was hard on me. I didn’t like the feminine side coming back out. And that was a few years ago and I’ve been back on T. Now I need to tell them I want to go on E. And even pursue IVF. That’s a conversation with an OB of course but…
As I said I’m afraid of the changes. But also afraid of the stigma. The idea that I wasn’t ever trans or trans enough. That I don’t know what I want. It’s funny because the advice I would give someone else would be to not worry and just live how they want to live and ask for what they need to do that.
But here I am worrying that my doctor will be judging me.
For those who switched hormones: What was your conversation with your doctor like?
