transHello everyone out there,
I'll cross post this entry to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
transgender so I can get as many responses as possible to aid my transition plans. Basically, it's 8:19am and after pretty much an entire night speaking to a new found fellow genderqueer/mtf & friend on msn from across the pond.
She has recently started spiro at 100mg a day, split into 50mg at breakfast and 50mg at lunch. For my transition I want to introduce spiro first. This might sound odd but at the moment my parents do not want me to take HRT. Therefore, I want to hault the (evil) male puberty right in its deep voiced, body hair tracks.
My question is this: how long is it safe to just take spiro before estrogen needs to be introduced? I don't intend on leaving it any longer than eight months but I just want to check. I read through a link said friend gave me (tinyurl.com/hrtandspiro) and page 7 seems to imply that it is safe to take spiro alone for a long period of time? However, we both agreed that the body would surely need the estrogen hormone after supressing the testosterone for so long?
I am 17 and she is 18 and the introduction may well have to be done without a doctors supervision due to multiple reasons. I just want to do this as safely as possible.
Sorry for so many posts based on the same topic, I hope I'm not driving people up the wall.
Have a lovely day, I feel I will be overdosing on caffeine for the next few hours...
