Tests for mtf
Tests for ftm
Other than the tests, the healthcare provider may give certain instructions. For example, if you are planning for a hormone therapy, you may be given instructions on how to take the hormone medications and how to monitor for potential side effects etc. And in case of a surgery also, you may be given certain instructions on the diet you need to follow, and which medications you should take or not take, etc.
It is important to work closely with your healthcare provider and follow all the guidelines and instructions given by him to have a smooth transition journey.

Transgender individuals face challenges in naturally conceiving due to medical aspects. Those assigned female at birth and on hormone therapy may have lower fertility. Those assigned male at birth typically cannot get pregnant. Preserving eggs or sperm before transitioning may help those wanting biological kids later. Consulting fertility experts can help transgender people desiring parenthood.

It seems like you may be going through some changes about turning into the opposite sex. Understand that these changes are complicated and might need some medical interventions. You might require different amounts of hormones to help you through the process. Talk about what is bothering you and your symptoms with a doctor who can help you figure out the best way forward.

Starting the Opill birth control for breast enlargement can be risky. Use of birth control pills for a long time can cause problems such as high chances of blood clots, weight change, and emotional state. The hormone progestin in the pill can affect my levels of hormones. There are also claims that birth control pills made of progestin can affect the production of hormones. Consult your healthcare provider to make a safe decision and avoid risking negative consequences.
