A question about HRT for young transsexuals?


I麓m from Brazil, and I am 18 year old mtf. I started my HRT when I was 13 with estradiol valerate (2 mg) and ciproterone, but in a very small dosage ( 2mg, but the recommended dosage is 50 mg or more). However I got good results, because now I don麓t have any facial hair or a masculine voice. But ciproterone is very expensive and I think it would be better for me to use spironolactone as anti-androgen. So my question is: should I take 100 mg os spiro or less, considering that I dont麓t show any masculinization in body? I really think that the levels of testosterone in my body are very low, otherwise I would have facial hair, witch I don麓t, so I think that 100 mg is too much. So I was hoping to get some advice, because I live in a small city, and doctors don`t prescrive HRT for transgender people.

Honey, the only advice I can give you is; please, DON'T take hormones without medical supervision. Oestrogen is a potent and dangerous drug; people (including some of my friends) have died from self-medicating, and spironolactone is VERY dangerous.
I know that in your part of the world, life can be very difficult for transwomen; if you can't find a doctor to oversee your treatment in your town, find one in another town, but please, do find one.

I understand that the Brazilian public health service is now offering free treatment for transsexual people (http://www.365gay.com/Newscon07/08/08170... perhaps you should investigate that?
