Clara...my endo (tee hee) has stated to me time after time that this is all about me and how I feel and that he is just there to assist me in finding where I want to be,but in a healthy manner.
He is not concerned about health at present because all my vitals keep coming back extremely strong...liver, kidneys, cholesterol etc.
He was not so much prescribing 8mgs a day but rather, since I had told him I was using sometimes 5 or 6, making sure that if I wanted to go higher than4 that I would not run out before seeing him again. Also, he is aware that buying in larger amounts is more cost effective.
Isnt he wonderful?

Sammie, how lucky you are to have found such an enlightened endo. I'm really happy for you, and real hugs - at least as real as they can be over the internet My only regret is that you seem to have got so far ahead of me and I suspect a lot of your other sisters here that I don't think I could ever catch up even if my relationship with my one and only (O&O) were not even more important to me. I am astonished to find that I really regret that I do not presently see how I can join the group at Southern Comfort at least this year - that's an awfully long way I've come from where I started and it worries me a bit - it is indeed as you say 'a wild ride', and I do have to calm my O&O's insecurities so thst we can discuss my gender issues more constructively I suppose in a way that the scary aspects of all this have something akin to a fairground ride - enjoyable but frightening, except for a much lesser degree of certainty that the outcome of what one is doing is safe and predictable. Anyways, enjoy the ride.
