Amit Williams is a 28-year-old software...
Amit Williams is a 28-year-old software engineer who recently moved to a new city for work. He is a transgender man who has been on testosterone therapy for four years but has chosen to keep his reproductive organs. For the last eight months, he has been experiencing severe, debilitating symptoms in the week before his period: crushing fatigue, intense irritability, migraines, and significant breast tenderness. These symptoms are impacting his work performance and social life, and causing him significant gender dysphoria, making him feel disconnected from his body. His new OB/GYN, Dr. Chen, listened empathetically to his unique situation. She diagnosed him with severe PMS, exacerbated by the hormonal interplay of his endogenous cycle and testosterone therapy. She recommended a combined approach: continuous use of a low-dose combined oral contraceptive pill to suppress his cycle entirely, alongside cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to manage the emotional dysphoria. Amit was apprehensive about taking 'birth control' but agreed to try. After three months on the regimen, his cyclical symptoms have completely ceased. The relief from the physical and emotional turmoil has been profound. He feels more in control of his body and his life, stating, 'For the first time, my body feels like it's on my team, not working against me.'
