I can tell you flat out that they’re not going to remove your ovaries. it’s nigh impossible for anyone under 30 to have them removed because you may want to reproduce someday. honestly, your best option may to begin to do your own research regarding PCOS and transitioning. Then, present relevant studies and data to your doctor(s). Pubmed is a good place to look for studies.
Ask to be referred to an endocrinologist if you haven’t been already. you said that your pediatrician is doing all of this, correct? while i’m not going to say that your doctor is bad, they may not be completely caught up with all of the research regarding hormones, PCOS, and being trans.
lmao of course i know that, that’s why i think it’s fucking ridiculous that as someone who has Full On anxiety attacks around ALL children and also wants to transition with the most testosterone possible and not have periods, why the fuck would i ever want children. take my word for it, i cannot be around children. maybe it’s a phobia.
he’s not my pediatrician anymore, but he works as a pediatrician and endo. we go to him as an endo because he already has my data. i’m calling the LA center for transitional things (well not me specifically because i can’t make phone calls) because they can refer you to doctors and insurance places that will help you, which is something the long beach center can’t do. kaiser insurance has a special doctor group in san francisico who do transitional surgeries, which is much closer for travel than other options. so i already know what i need to do but who fucking knows if i’m gonna live to see it.
