okay, I'll be going to planned parenthood on tuesday to get started on HRT here in the US. Wanted to ask, is there a script of what I should say do to get the dosages as suggested by diyhrt? I'm already on HRT so hopefully won't be as many barriers to like getting dosages, I've heard they start people off on lower ones, but like is there something I should say? I want X?
@kirancodes e im assuming? Generally you kinda have to just dose yourself. And anything over 200pg\ml peak generally they will tell you to drop your dose.
so what i had to do in the past is mess with dose till proper blood levels from test when they tell u to drop dose do it for 2 weeks before retest then go back to proper doseage. as far as starting from ramp up levels. Just tell them your already on hormones but dont mention its diy.
@kirancodes other than that you should be fine. Its informed consent so you dont have to tell them anything really other than you want estrogen and progestrone. You can try to fight for higher doseage but it most likely will get you nowhere and i recommend gettiing thru the onboaeding phase before trying to convence them to give you the proper doseage. Also i reccomend trying to find a different provider in the long term look around try some people out after you have secured hormones from them.
