It kind of depends on what relationship you have with you doctor. My Dr is my family Dr, so I see her regularly for lots of things.
I would start with the problem being gender dysphoria. I would then talk about what you have been doing about it. I think most Drs will be distrustful of herbs, particularly ones that come from Thailand. They will want to get you onto meds that they know the effects of.
My Dr put me in touch with an excellent counsellor and referred me to an endocrinologist. It was a bit of a process, but I am now on HRT with full support.
For me, telling her about taking PM was the hardest because I knew I was going to get the disapproval glare. Still, it was a signal for how committed I was. Also, it took me a number of appointments to completely spill the beans.
Good luck,
Calmly.
