I'd say discuss it with your endo... but mood swings can happen... your period can come back (if you haven't had a hysto)... your voice may go back up a little... I had a link to one of my FTM support sites a while back that listed what you are looking for. I'll see if I can find it.

Cool, thanks--

I wouldn't worry too much - it takes a HUGE amount for that to happen - the amount that body builders use. The primary sign is breast formation and men and testicular shrinkage. That said, you would either have to have liver disease so you can't metabolize it, or be taking huge, non-prescribed doses.

My g/f is 5'9" and I'm 5'1". Just a matter of finding one who appreciates a taller, leggier woman.

I noticed the height thing even before I transitioned. Some butches have the same "dilema." For me, the more comfortable I became with myself, the less I was threatened by a woman's height. I love to see a woman in heels and if I wanted to date women I was attracted to, I needed to get over it.

My girlfriend is taller then me by a couple of inches.

Tall + femme = Not good

Here's some food for thought: http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/201...es-apocalypse/

Oddly enough I was thinking about this when I watched this week's episode: what would I do if there was a zombie apocalypse (or similar)? Would I have to break into every pharmacy, steal all the T I can and lug it around, protecting it (and necessary needles)? A hysto would allow for a stretched out usage and certainly natural methods could help but..

Because most MTF/ Butch want to be the taller person in the relationship ...
