Male on Ortho-Tricyclen

---

What would happen if a male started to take Ortho-Tricyclen?

He'll turn into a woman

Are you serious? Because I'm a genetic male transitioning into the woman role and would like more womanly features. I have pretty much the same things as my mom...like blood type and blood ressure crap. If I start taking it daily, what would be the outcome?

Umm birth control will not turn you into a woman.

Then what will it do to me?

unless you are able to have children - and have a period - i dont think it'll do anything to you since its purpose is to preven pregnancy.

But wouldn't it introduce estrogen into my system therefore leading to changes because of the hormone?

Estrogens make males develop breasts, though the estrogen in Ortho-Tricyclen is an artificial one (it would probably have the same effect, though). However, Ortho-Tricyclen (and all female oral contraceptives) also contains a progesterone, and I don't know what that would do to a male. I wouldn't recommend it.

I used to be a pharmacy tech. A transexual male customer used birth control pills to grow breasts... He actually tried to make his insurance company cover it. Obviously, they didn't.
