So obviously no changes in the last hour lol :P
But I was excited to have gotten right on them and not have to go through a waiting period. Since I have had been on HRT in my early 20's and that I am 30 *cough* something she had no problem giving me the prescriptions.
So she has me on Spiro and a baby aspirin regimen. As soon as my therapist fax's in the letter I'll get the estrogen prescription.
I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to post the dosage here because of people self medicating, but I know it's low as of now. Also there was no mention of Finestrade (sp?)
Just curious what feedback you all have as far as low doses and what to expect etc.
Anyway just excited I didn't have to wait and that she didn't make me see a specialist or swith therapists as I like mine a lot :)

Congratulations on beginning an Epic journey (sort of. haha). I would offer insight, but my personal situation is far too different to be relavent.

Congrats!
I started on a low dose of Estadiol alone without any spiro. The Estradiol was increased after a month and I was also given spiro. It seems most doctors start slowly, so don't worry.

Congratulations, your previous HRT may influence your current HTR results for the positive.

Hmm curious, how so?
And I know it will be awhile to see any changes, just excited at the possibility :)

Depending on the length of time and past results I have read here that past HRT has made for a quicker and more full breast development.
