as it says my transistion must come to a hault. i am currently on the path to joining the navy, i am a ftm, have been since i was 11, i look and pass 100% all of the time, i have come to the conclusion that i have no idea what i am to do in order to do this, my fiancee is in transition from mtf...im half tempted to take some of her estrogen to start the process....although i am afraid...i know that i must do this in order to get to where i need to go. anyone have any info on detransitioning?

How far along in transitioning are you? Therapy, hormones?

i have not started taking any hormones, nor have i started therapy, it has all been natural since i started. i have pcos...which has made my transition alot easier

Are you talking about a herbal formula? Otherwise I have no idea what you would DE transition if you have not started yet.

for safety reason i can not post my picture...i look like a guy, i have facial hair growth, muscle growth also looks and feels like a guy...i have literally molded myself after 100's of guys. i played rugby in high school and played ruck, i am probably the definition of natural transition. my voice has gotten deeper on its own, i walk like a guy, carry myself like a guy.

OH! I get it now.  My advice would be to see an Endocrinologist. They can get you regulated on hormone levels. It is their thing! There is nothing you can do over the counter med wise.

Are you sure that you will be able to join the Navy with this?  If you haven't already gotten a waiver for it or at least discussed it with someone at MEPS you may want to have a backup plan.  Outside of the nuclear field jobs, the Navy isn't exactly hurting for people so it may be tough getting a medical waiver.

Skin I totally agree with you they might not except them as they are not hurting for recruits

i take my ASVAB in a month, my rate(job) is AD Aviation Machinists Mate, when i was in high school i took the asvab and scored 88, im pretty sure i should be able to get in no problem...also i dont think that it was documented that i have pcos in my medical records.

You have a rate without taking the ASVAB? Have you signed a contract yet? If not, you do not have a rate no matter what a recruiter or detailer tells you,

i have a preliminary contract

Preliminary contract? I have not heard of such a thing.  Have you stepped foot inside a MEPS yet or has this all been through a recruiter?

Edit add on: I'm going to bed for the night, but if you don't mind the unsolicited advice I would like to pm you tomorrow.  I just got out of the Navy and it sort of sounds like you might have a shady recruiter.  Even if that's not the case I would like to let you know a couple things about enlisting with undocumented medical conditions.

I don't know the Navy view on pcos.  How does the Navy see someone with pcos?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a female's disease.  I don't understand why you think this would keep you from getting accepted into the Navy?  A significant number of females have this syndrome.  Women with PCOS don't take estrogen or anything (none that I personally know, anyway), they just live their lives.  I would be shocked as hell if females with PCOS couldn't get into the military.  But, if you are worried, look online to see if it is one of the excluding criteria for females.  Or, just ask your recruiter. 

I have a trans friend with intense PCOS like you have. He is taking contraception to stop the masculinisation process (he's not sure he wants to transition completely, and keep options open). When he doesn't take the pill, his masculinisation goes as quickly as with artificial testosterone.
But he's doing this with the aid of a doctor, because he had to try different contraceptives to feel ok.

757ftmlo,

I am curious to know what you found out.  I did a cursory search (just because it interested me), and I read some people say you could get a medical waiver and some said you can't.
