Worked up the confidence to call the doctor's office to try and make an appointment for hrt, but the soonest appointments for either of the two doctors are 4 and 6 months out
did you schedule the 4 months out appointment? sometimes earlier ones will open up but if they don't you'll want that one
not to diminish how unbelievably frustrating this is, i am VERY familiar with how painful waiting to be able to talk to a doctor is. but it's important to still be practical, even when dealing with a medical system that seems to hate you
Yeah ended up scheduling the 4 month one
That is ridiculous. Usually though you can find clinics that are not v expensive. A friend of mine is doing HRT out of pocket and it's like 50 bucks for a vial that lasts 2-3 months. Then you can switch over to insurance when the time comes
Sorry it's so slow, that's so frustrating. And "worked up the confidence" is way too familiar. It can take so much effort just to try and then they put up roadblocks. I'm sure you can push through even though it's difficult! And with support here!
It might be worth looking into buying E pills from alternative suppliers (legally) and doing low-dose oral E until you can get medical supervision. Not without its risks, but its something to consider. Usually turn around for that is around a month. Still nothing immediate but its better than waiting four months!
