Hi girls, I like to thank anyone for answering my question first.
This is my first post. I am currently taking herbal hormones because I am not sure if I want to transition yet, it seems all the transsexuals I know have always know since they were little kids, but not me.
Anyways I bought some herbal supplements. I have Black Cohosh , I take 2 daily. They are 100 mg per each capsule. I am also taking Red Clover and Saw Palmetto.
My question is , is there any other herbal supplement that can block androgen? I am not sure if Saw Palmetto is any useful at all.
My second question is, should I check my blood pressure once I start taking these stuff? Is that all I have to do, so I don¡¦t have to talk to my family doctor about what I am taking because I really cannot see myself¡Kconfiding to my family doctor. Should I get another doctor to monitor my health? I know I am taking a risk but these herbal stuffs are so appealing.
And btw, soy milk tastes so nasty, girls!
