Because your body has spent 20 to 60 years soaked in high levels of the hormones of the opposite sex to what you are taking now - you are swimming against the stream. Most likely lower amounts of hormones will reduce your reactions and your doctor can increase the levels slowly. Talk to your GP, your endocrinologist and your therapist.

Why you get sick from the hormones depends on the exact hormones given and your body. If you are taking spironolactone as a hormone blocker, you could be suffering an electrolyte imbalance. It is a potassium sparing diruetic, and you may have to increase the sodium intake or lower your potassium intake. Medical tests can determine this.

Another possibility is that your doctor prescribed Provera (or PremPro which contains Provera). Provera is really not a good choice for a progestin, especially in transsexual women, and it can have some very bad side-effects. The side-effects may include increased aggression, irritability, suicidality, loss of vision, sore gums, digestive disturbances, hair loss, deepening of the voice, etc. If you are taking Provera and experiencing problems, you should stop taking it. You can get by not taking a progestin (you don't have a uterus), or you can switch to another type such as micronized progesterone or Duphaston (if you can get it in your country).

Do transsexual men have a period?

Whether transsexual men (female-to-male) have periods depends on if they are taking hormones or have had surgery. If they are taking testosterone, they won't menstruate. If they have had surgery, they certainly won't menstruate.If you are misusing the term "transsexual men" to refer to male-to-female transsexual persons, no, transsexual women won't ever menstruate, since they were born lacking ovaries and a uterus.


How can man become transsexual?

A man cannot become one, since he's born that way. The purpose for hormones and surgery is to stop being a transsexual and get "cured" of it to the extent scientifically and medically possible.


Can transsexuals become pregnant?

That would depend on the type of transsexual they are. A transsexual woman can never become pregnant, though she can father children before taking hormones and getting surgery. They can never get a womb, though uterus transplants and ectopic pregnancies have been considered as possible options, but both are considered way to dangerous to attempt. A transsexual man can become pregnant if he gets pregnant before taking hormones and getting surgery.


Transsexual woman born with uterus 29 years old is it possible for a pregnancy?

That is a transsexual man. The gender term after the word transsexual is always who the person really is, not what their body was at birth. Calling a man born with female parts a woman is hurtful.But like anyone born with a uterus, pregnancy is usually possible. They would have to avoid taking male hormones when trying to get pregnant and during the course of the pregnancy. If they are on hormones, then they can only get pregnant if they can start menstruating.


How can change from a men to a women?

A transgender woman is born a male and they simply live as women. They may take hormones. The proper name is transgender woman. Transsexual women tend to get surgery and/or take hormones to grow breasts. Not all transsexual women consider themselves transgender. However, arguably, a person is neither transgender nor transsexual after surgery, since the goal for the surgery is usually to become completely female.

What makes a man beome transsexual?

Actually, nobody becomes a transsexual. More than likely, you are born with transsexualism, and the transition is to eliminate the condition. See, who a person is has nothing to do with the body. So if the person and their body are not congruent, then hormones and surgery is needed to make them congruent.


Are there MtF transsexual herbal remedies available?

Yes and no. Yes, there are herbal remedies that transsexual women try for growing breasts. However, results are only modest at best, and ineffective for most. You would do better off getting a doctor to prescribe you actual hormones.

What does it mean if a transsexual is hormone free?

It means they not currently taking hormones. Hormones have the effect of giving TS women softer skin, more feminine facial shape, wider hips, developed breasts, etc. They give TS men facial hair, a more masculine shape, and, notably, a deeper voice. If the person is not taking hormones, they are either in the early stages of transition - before hormones have been prescribed, or they are transgendered rather than transsexual and have decided to forgo a full transition. They will remain showing the secondary sexual characteristics of their birth gender, and retain sexual potency (as hormones will often cause sterility or a complete inability to "perform").
