after getting bullied into starting it, im finally starting hrt (18.3 months). i bought my first prescription today of 2mg estrogen + 25mg spiro (2 spiro in the morning + 1 e in the morning and 1 e in the evening). problem is, i still havent done a blood test. should i just take it and not deal with blood tests? i dont mind keeping a low dose because i really dont want my parents to find out im on hrt. problem is, the informed consent clinic i went to get my prescription from (Dre Gabrielle Landry) kinda asked me to do a blood test before starting it, and then more blood tests after 1,3,6,9, etc months. so like, do i bother with blood tests or not? i hope the pharmacy wont mind and will just let me refill it every month
>>44228170no reason you shouldn't get blood testsif you're able to get hrt behind your parents back surely you can get blood tests done too
>>44228170Spiro is bad just DIY honestly. DIY 4mg EEn weekly plus add one of those oral 1mg pills daily for the first 6 months to help with breast growth.
>>44228188idk about breast growth because my parents would notice it :(
>>44228187this is the main reason why i dont want to do blood tests/talk to the clinic again, everything is so expensive.... just let me take my hormones and leave me in peace
