CM,

I know everyone is different, every Dr is different in their treatment plan and beliefs. But for me she started me on a very low dose.  Two months later I went in and told her the HRT was just not working and the train had not left the station. She told me, yes it had, as of two months your estrogen level is at 50 and your T is 295.  She did double my meds. Told me if I felt the train was still not moving to come back in two months but not before. In two months I went back and told her my wife could see some changes but I couldn’t and I was not having any side effects from HRT and I really wanted to move this train.  She told me if I really wanted to see the effects I was asking for then we need to put you on injections. My labs at the start of injections were estrogen 141 and T 11.  I asked her where she wanted my estrogen levels and she said somewhere between 200 and 300, we will just have to wait and see.  I told her I was wanting SRS and wanted my hormone levels to support that. She told me I will have you there in a year from the start and will write your letter supporting that at your year date.

As I am self pay, and I can pick and choose my providers. This way I feel I have the best chance to obtain the end results I desire.  It’s just my opinion when a person is at the mercy of society you will get what society wants you to have and not necessarily what you deserve.

This is just my story and my opinion.
