Help! Hormone weirdness
Hi all. As I write this, my endocrine system appears to be freaking out. A little background - MTF taking Progynova orally, 2mg tablets, 3 times a day, plus 2 applications of oestrogel. No antiandrogen yet, 1 month on hormones. Very pleased with the feminising effects so far - I appear to be reacting very strongly to them, and already have noticeable fat redistribution and breast growth.
On Saturday I became very depressed. This has since passed, but today how I'm feeling seems to change every 15 minutes. An hour ago I was euphoric, shortly after I was feeling quite miserable, now I'm not sure, but I feel very warm.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm assuming that this is basically the effects of the testosterone and oestrogen fighting each other. I was beginning to think that the roller-coaster had smoothed out a bit, but this is hitting me quite hard. I'm not seeing my specialist again until the end of March, when we might look at introducing an antiandrogen. I'm hoping that I'm not going to feel like this until then. Help?
