Earlier this week during my therapy session my therapist asked how I was doing. I told her that I had been depressed quite a bit lately. She asked if I thought I needed some antidepressants, but I told her that when I was on HRT the depression was very minimal, and I could 'hang on' until my 6 month time out for stopping therapy was over and I could restart HRT again. The remainder of the therapy session was the same as always.
Then this morning I received a call from my endocrinologist's office to ask if I could come by to get some blood drawn. I of course said yes, may I ask why? Is there a problem? The scheduling nurse said "no problems, just need to get your levels so we'll know where to set the levels for your HRT again." Needless to say I made a beeline and had my blood drawn, and have an appointment next Tuesday.
While I was on my way, my therapist called and asked if the endocrinologists office had contacted me. I said yes, I was on my way to get my blood drawn. She said I had convinced her I was ready to restart my transition, and felt I was 100% serious about completing it this time. So there I was, driving my car and crying tears of joy not due to estrogen, but because of it!
