Time to think about getting on the correct path

No.  Also, how does PP ensure you are getting the right dosage of E and anti-androgens?  I saw they offer telehealth.  Makes me wonder if they are doing blood tests.

I only did in-person visits with PP. For my initial visit, they prescribed me 2mg of oral E and 50mg of spiro. They didn't do a blood test for that visit to get a baseline, but they did one for every follow-up visit. I think it was about a year after starting HRT, I asked about progesterone and they prescribed me 100mg. Unfortunately, they wouldn't prescribe bica, even though my T levels weren't being suppressed enough by 8mg of E and 200mg of spiro. I tried switching spiro for finastride, but had unpleasant side-effects from that medication.

Ultimately, I switched to the VA for HRT to get a better selection of medication. I'm now on estradiol cypionate injections and Elegaard injections for my anti-androgen. Once I got on the right medication, it didn't take long for my hormone levels to get to cis female levels.
