I'm a 56 year old transgender female and I was taking hormones but had to stop because I just couldn't afford them anymore. I want to take the Opill birth control because of the progestin in it to help increase my breast size even though it will take time. My question to you is will taking the Opill birth control hurt me if I take it long term or will I be fine.

Other | 56

Starting the Opill birth control for breast enlargement can be risky. Use of birth control pills for a long time can cause problems such as high chances of blood clots, weight change, and emotional state. The hormone progestin in the pill can affect my levels of hormones. There are also claims that birth control pills made of progestin can affect the production of hormones. Consult your healthcare provider to make a safe decision and avoid risking negative consequences.

I am 22 years male. I have gender identity issues. I feel like I don’t fit to this gender.

Male | 22

It is a common thing for lots of people to feel they do not belong to the gender they were given at birth. This is called gender dysphoria. The signs might include feeling weird about your body, clothes, or pronouns people use for you. This happens because your gender identity does not match the sex you were marked at birth. Speaking to a therapist who gets gender identity can help you in finding ways to feel good and supported.

Will those who are transgender have children?

Male | 30

Transgender individuals face challenges in naturally conceiving due to medical aspects. Those assigned female at birth and on hormone therapy may have lower fertility. Those assigned male at birth typically cannot get pregnant. Preserving eggs or sperm before transitioning may help those wanting biological kids later. Consulting fertility experts can help transgender people desiring parenthood.

Currently I am a woman. Born on 17-09-1989. I want to transition from girl to boy. Is it possible? How much will it cost? And whether there are any physical complications later?

Female | 35

Going from girl to boy occurs when people take hormones and have operations. The total cost depends on what treatments are chosen. After, problems could be infections, scars, and fertility changes. Talking to a transgender doctor regarding options and risks is crucial.

Can transgender women get pregnant?

Male | 27

Transgender women who have had hormonal treatment and/or surgery may notice a drop in sperm count and fertility as a side effect of the process. But this scenario, when became the case, is an exception. Effective relationships between transgender women who wish to have a baby and a reproductive endocrinologist or fertility specialist are of utmost importance as they will provide them with advice and the needed support.
