So today I took a big step towards going on hrt  meds. I had my initial consult at Planned Parenthood. For those of you that don't know, Planned Parenthood does more than birth control and abortions; and they use the implied consent model, so I had my initial consult today, next Friday I go in and get bloodwork done. She stated as long as my past blood work has been good, I will probably get prescriptions next week and be on meds by next weekend.  If the clinician senses caution for some reason, they will wait until results from bloodwork come back before prescribing meds. I've been on the herbal route for a few years, with mixed results, and i was not happy having to eat a handful of pills each day. Plus, from what I've been able to discern, it will actually be cheaper monthly to be prescribed Estradiol and Spiro, than PM , WP and Reishi.
And I will be monitored by  Dr with regular visits every 3 months.
I'm on my way!,  not sure what the final destination will be, but I'm going. I'll 
Update next week after Dr visit.

Congratulations!

Thsnks Bambi,
It's been an emotional week for me, when I think back that it has taken me over 40 years to get to this place in my life. I'm sure the waterworks will start if i get my meds tomorrow.
