Yes, that's crazy. I was always asked to come in for my blood draw first, and make a follow-up appointment with the doctor to go over the results. He would then go on-line and enter the prescription or prescription renewals on the spot. Never a question where I stood. I hope HBHC does it that way, too. We'll see.
That is strange that your E is as low as it is given the large estrogen dosage you are taking. I think I remember reading somewhere that taking more E than your body can use can be counterproductive. I'm not sure what that means. Maybe you should lower your E intake!?! I'm taking 4 mg/day and feel the effects (sore boobs, mental calmness, etc.) I'm going to increase to 6 mg/day starting next week though to see if the effects intensify. I'll stay at that dosage right up to my appointment.
