Hi Charrie.
Your post raises many "me too" type comments in my mind, but I am perhaps fortunate that I am 'less female' than you and transitioning has never been on the cards for me. There isn't much I can add to what everyone else has said, but from the vast range of opinions expressed you'll probably have gathered that nobody can tell you for sure what will happen to you, we can only tell you what has happened to us as individuals, and we are all different.
Personally, my gut feeling is that taking PM to try to quiet your mental anguish is a potentially dangerous route. My suspicion (from watching others experiences, not my own) is that it will push you to the transition path that you currently want to avoid.
I rather suspect that you need to try to get your head around your family, etc, situation first. However once the genie is out of the bottle, its next to impossible to get her back in again, I'm afraid.
