Feeling Of A Boy, Identification With Male Gender, Unnatural Feeling Post Intake Of Primolut-N For Regularizing Periods. What Would Be The Consequence Of Stopping This Medicine?
I would get my period once or twice a year only, after i did tests nothing was abnormal but my doctor still prescribed me 2 tablet of primolut N for 10 days. I ve been taking them for 2 months and got my period. But I feel something is wrong, I was hesitant about hormone therapy , I m female but I identify with both genders mostly the male gender, I am not transgender but this change in hormones is driving me crazy and I don t feel like myself. the first thing I told my doctor is that I feel like a boy inside but he said that no matter what i feel inside i m a woman on the outside and i have to get my period every month, its something that always felt unnatural to me. please help what would happen if I stop Primolut N? and how long will it take for its effects to wear off and my hormones go back to what they used to be ?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
If you are not comfortable with primolut stop it. The effect will wear off in 48 hours.
I suggest that you get a complete evaluation including a genetic analysis and a MRI pelvis to look for any abnormalities in the genital system as you are not having regular periods. Also a complete hormonal testing is needed to determine if the levels of male hormones like testosterone and DHEAS are elevated. Take all the blood tests 2 weeks after stopping the primolut so that there is no cross interference at all.
After the above tests you will be in a position to decide about things in case any abnormality is detected.
Hope this was helpful.
