T and estrogens

[akela-mishari.livejournal.com]

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but since most people using T are FTMs i figured it wouldnt hurt to ask. Im not exactly FTM, im more of a FT?, because i am intergender and love androgyny... so i dont want to cross over to all male, nor do i wanna remain all female.


Basically, when i turned 19 i took T for 4 months to lower my voice to a more masculine, or at least intermediate tone. I enjoyed some of the side effects, like muscle buildup, body and facial hair, mental changes, to name some. I dropped my intake. I didnt take any for a little over a year, then 7 months ago i started taking again. This time i took T 6 months, and again i liked the way it changed me, this time it was mostly psychological changes, rather than physical, but the body hair increased, as did the libido, for example.
I've been off it for a little over two months, and for about a month (since the last effective T stopped working) i've clearly noticed my return to female-ishness (psychologically, mostly).


So my question is, does anyone know what the regular levels of T are for a female, and what they are for a female with VERY HIGH levels of it, which cause masculinization, but not enough to shut down her estrogen levels? I mean, i know there's a condition where females produce too much testosterone for a female, but not from testicles (that'd be intersex), and its not enough to interfere majorly with her cycle or her estrogens, but just enough to masculinize.

OR, even better, if anyone here has, knows or has read about someone who's been biofemale, and taken minuscule doses of T to achieve a very slow or light masculinization, without side effects such as the ovaries shutting down (which i know happens after a long while on T, but still), basically, without harmful side effects?

Thanks!
