Effects of a transguy quitting testosterone and going on estrogen for a while?

[avery123]

I've been contemplating the idea of donating eggs to help pay for transition, however I know to donate eggs you have to take estrogen for a while. I'm also considering taking estrogen in the future for a few other reasons as well, I've only ever found one example of a transguy taking estrogen (I believe it was a person by the name of emmet on youtube), but they don't talk in depth about the effects of quitting t to start e.

What would be the effects of taking estrogen for a transguy? Would it be like the same effects for a mtf person? I know the changes I've had so far (9 months on t) like voice drop, jawline, adam's apple and such won't go away. However my girlfriend who's mtf has had a lot of changes on e that I actually would like, such as softer skin and some hair growth changes.

Would it be possible for me to donate eggs on estrogen, especially if I was considering going on e anyway?

I believe three things will not change at all: voice drop (adam's apple goes with that), clit growth, and facial hair.
Everything else will change to some extent, but would change back (body fat redistribution, skin texture, body hair, sex drive, etc.) I think T is the "juice" so it's a bit harder for, say, MTFs to develop more feminine characteristics, and it takes longer, so I'd think that would be the case for you.

The voice doesn't go "back". MTFs who are able to get their voices to be higher pitch, do so with lots of effort. And not all of them can do it.

I wish you good luck, but I would caution you to look up the odds on donating eggs. It's VERY expensive, and not a sure thing whatsoever. I believe not only would you take estrogen but other hormones, but I'd don't know re: that.

You may have a hard time finding a fertility clinic that would want to buy your eggs since you have been on testosterone.  I am not trying to be rude, but I would suspect that "customers" would be less apt to buy eggs that have been exposed to testosterone therapy.  Subsequently, your eggs would be less than ideal to a clinic.

I have to agree that you will have a very hard time finding a clinic or couple that would be interested in your eggs due to the fact that you have been on testosterone.

Oh boy, I missed the "buy eggs" bit, somehow. No, I don't think it's likely. And for a reason, as your eggs may have been damaged (it's possible anyway). They won't be able to tell though, they'd err on the side of caution.
