Hello auybv.

Welcome to the board.

As far as why pm has been ineffective for you, it's hard to say why exactly. Maybe the brand of pm you've used isn't potent enough, or maybe the doses you've taken are far from being optimal for you.

If you choose to consult a doctor about pursuing HRT, I think talking to a gender therapist will be inevitable. I suspect doctors probably won't give you a prescription if you haven't talked to some sort of gender therapist. (Imagine the medical liability doctors might otherwise encounter by giving HRT to patients who later realize they really don't want a full or partial transition.) The other reason to talk to a gender therapist is to find out the process of how to pursue HRT. After spending some time talking with you, the gender therapist may refer you to a doctor who can give you the prescription(s) you want.

Thanks very much! It is very helpful.
