FTM's and Transitioning

1ladyface · 01-25-2012, 09:50 PM

Hi All,

So...I'm a femme ladyface and won't be transitioning but I have a hormone related question and I thought you guys might have some insights.

I went back on birth control a few months ago to prevent ovarian cysts (I've had 2 in my life) and I think the hormones are aggravating my obsessive behaviors. When I was in high school and was put on birth control I am CERTAIN that it made my eating disorder worse. And eating disorders are a kind of OCD. So, do you think that's possible? And has anyone experienced anything similar? (obsessive behaviors getting better or worse as a side effect of taking hormones)

I'm not on anything aside from the Nuvaring, so it isn't a weird drug interaction. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have on this issue.
