I have got the recommendation letter to start HRT!!!!!!! I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. with the doctor to begin HRT. Wonder how much I will sleep tonight?
Thank you all for your support and I look forward to letting you know how this next big step goes for me!!!!!

That's great news!
I have a copy of mine that I can look back on anytime I want.
At a guess, you might get one or two minutes sleep. This is great news! Don't forget to keep us informed of how things are going.

That's awesome. The simple fact that you are starting HRT will make you feel better... but you'll be amazed at how at-peace you can become internally when you have the proper hormones pumping through your system.
Paaawwrrrr taa !
There is a road—no simple highway—between the dawn and the dark of night.
And if you go no one may follow. That path is for your steps alone.
What a wonderful milestone, all the best from me to you

Congratulations, Jeri, for this most momentous of occasions.
It kind of makes you anxious for the future momentous occasions to get here already, doesn't it?

Oh well too late to tell you not worry about it and get some sleep. It's a gradual change, not an abrupt one, not like surgery or anything.
Thanks for all of the encouragement today. However, I did hit a little hiccup...the doctor that was recommended to me does not do the initial start of HRT she only maintains once you have started. She did check my bloodwork and recommended another doctor in town. She said that once I started the medication that she would then be glad to maintain. Her biggest concern was knowing which drugs would be best for me and how much. I will be calling this other doctor tomorrow and make an appointment ASAP. The good news is that I have the letter from my therapist and I will continue to take it with me until I have a prescription in hand.
So sorry to hear that. Knowing that you have the letter will hopefully make it easier to wait a little bit. Nothing about this process goes at the rate that we would like. I hope that you are well and your next appointment happens soon
You might want to stick with the doctor that will prescribe HRT. From the sound of it, your current doctor doesn't know much about it. You can see more than one.Originally Posted by jeri1973
