I started HRT several months ago. I got my scripts through PP but did not realize that they would be shared or accessible by the PCP I go for general health. During my last visit, he brought up the scripts very casually. I don't know why but panicked and said someone had been using my information but paying cash. He is a friend of my parents who I have been seeing for over a decade and the only doctor nearby.

Due to more panic, I did not do the blood test and now, because of my schedule, I will not be able to do it through LabCorp until December/January. I am that busy with my work and the nearest place that test hormone levels is Labcorp which is a few hours away. I was finally bumped up to 6 mg estradiol and 200 spiro, and finally seeing results. I know if I wait for my next real break I will have to restart at the lower dose. The NP from PP pretty much said so. I'm just very depressed. My

breasts started to have sensation/sensitivity and some growth, my smell had changed and my skin was becoming smoother. I'm just very depressed. I know there is HIPPA, but I live in an incredibly small town in the south in the middle of nowhere.

I started HRT last October. I was on 2mg estradiol and 100 mg spiro. In January, my estro was at 77.8 pg/ml and testosterone was at 49.8 hg/dl. I really didn't see/feel much in physical changes. I had to cancel my follow up and stopped HRT because of a rash of ailments to family and friends (3 relatives diagnosed with cancer, 2 with heart issues, a close friend's death and a woman who was like a second mother to me being diagnosed with cancer as well).

Anyways, I've scheduled an appointment in the coming month, planning to restart. I was a little disheartened to see no effects and hoping with the break, the doctor will still up it to 4mg. Do you think that's realistic. I'm doing this through PP by the way.
