Experimentation

[brianna1266]

My girlfriend gets her birth control in large quantities.  Today when she was out and I was wearing her clothes I started taking some of her pills.  If I do this for a few weeks will anything happen?

thanks

Brianna,

This is EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS!!!!!

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!

Strokes and heart attacks are very real possibilities, regardless of age.

You are messing with you body's chemical ballance and you are throwing your body's homeostasis ability waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of wack! 

Even with a physician's guidance hormone replacement therapy has a set of risks.   Doing HRT without a physician is like playing Russian roulette with all the chambers loaded.

DON'T DO THIS!!!!!

What you are doing is idiotic and dangerous whether there are results or not. 

We do not condone or discuss the illegal or inappropriate use of prescription drugs on this site.

If you are looking for advice on this issue then I would recommend that you see your doctor, or visit a local clinic.

Not only that, but modern birth control pills do little for feminization.  To get a corrct dosage for hormones, it is recommended per the Standards of Care to see a therapist and then referred to an endocrynologist.

Biochemical experimentation can have undesirable effects; Even more so when you are experimenting on yourself.

some people were a  bit harsh
it's not as if I am taking a whole handful at once, I just wanted to see what would happen to me taking levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol for a month

Doll, only one of the wrong thing can do some seriously bad things to you. Granted it can be seen as improbable but it very definitely is not impossible. There is a reason why we go though the rigmarole you know.

Be very safe please.

Good, hopefully that will encourage you to listen to them and reconsider because they are 100% right.

Put into stock that attempting to use Birth control pills to transition on will accomplish little if anything in terms of useful progress.  They are scientifically worthless in terms of accomplishing any visable changes to your body, not enough estragen to be of any value at all, so NO, they will not accomplish any gain for you you other then open you up to undesirable side effects that you would not want.  There are many reasons why you should see a doctor and get a perscription of your own.  If you are not willing to do this than perhaps it is not something you should be trying to do.

I have attend two-repeat two-memorial services for women who ignored their doctors advise.

Nuff said.
