Shiva, I am a new person to this forum but have been lurking here for the
last several years. I am also Intersexed like you but for economic reasons
have not really been to a doctor about it. Just to make a long story short
..... my body is weird. I have been on the hormones for quite sometime now,
over ten years, but never any surgeries. I was able to pass female even
before any hormones without really trying at times. And like you
was raised male and my parents never did say anything about this
to me. I had to find out about myself being Intersexed on my own.
And as for myself, I saw quite alot of change quite soon after starting on
the hormones. My breasts really sprung out. And I have never had much hair
on my body anyway. My sex drive was almost nonexistant to begin with and
have always been that one might say, "emotional". But as for
gaining weight, it has always been easy for myself to gain weight.
As for now days, I really only eat like one meal a day which is just fine for myself. And if I ate three meals a day, they could roll
me out the door. As is I am really skinny with all of my wilderness
wanderings. Guess one difference between us is I want to
transistion to female. But again for myself, a little estrogen went a long ways.
As for myself, when I started out, my doctor started me on a low dosage of
Premarin which he really never raised the levels that much. But I still had
all shorts of things happening. Longtime "Years" later, I switched to the plant
estrogens that one can get at a herbal health store .... and it is on these
herbal estrogens that am still on today. I don't advocate this for everyone
but it has been great for myself. No problemo for myself! I switched over several years ago when all that stuff was being posted on how dangerous the Premarin was. Just to say again, these herbal estrogens have been Great for myself. But this is with myself, others would be different, espicelly when someone would not be intersexed. We each are independant individuals and have our own path.
Am wishing you the best and hope this helps!
