Is There Any Reason Why I Have Been Asked To Take Microgynon For Male To Female Transformation?
Question: i have been told to take microgynon for male to female transformation is there any reason. at the moment i am on 30 if that is ok my specialist said to start taking 50 what advantage does this give me.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Microgynon is a female hormone- progesterone. It helps in transformation of your masculine features into feminine features like breast hypertrophy.
Taking a higher dose of 50 mg instead of 30 mg is associated with a better response. There is considerable interindividual variation among the response. Hence the dose is adjusted after assessing the individual response.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Feminization is a gradual process. The process of hormonal feminization, while essential, can't be rushed or accelerated. The careful dosage regulation is necessary with regular monitoring of blood tests to minimize the side effects of these hormonal therapies.
The genetic male's full response to feminizition therapy appears over a matter of years. Feminization will begin to be noticed about 1-3 months after starting on a regime.
This duration varies considerably according to the treatment regimen and individual response.
You need to continue 50mg microgynon with combined oral pills of 21 days.
Decreasing the dose of provera to half might retard the feminine changes.
Please do not change any of your dosage regimens without consulting your physician.
Hope my answer is helpful.

Hello.
Hormonal therapy is the mainstay of feminisation. Along with the combined pills and progesterone supplements that you are already taking, you can have some estrogen supplements also if your blood reports are normal. Adding spironolactone is also helpful.
But all these are prescription only medicines and need strict medical supervision during the treatment.
You can consider going for surgery for earlier and assured results.
Take care.
