Title: Starting HRT Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: jeri1973 on September 29, 2011, 09:56:02 PM
I have been meeting with my therapist for 3 full months now and at our last appointment we discussed HRT.  She shared with me to research the effects on the body both good and bad.  She also shared with me that I need to make sure that I am in good health as this is going to be a journey as the body shifts.  Well that was two weeks ago and I have a clean bill of health from my doctor so I see me taking the next big step in my journey happening very soon.

Everyone here has been a real blessing to me as I have read what HRT is doing to your bodies and let me know a little more about what to expect.  I am just ready for my outside to fully agree with my inside.  I'll keep you all updated on the progress.

I will second that!!!  I can't believe I swallowed the red green pill 12 months ago to escape The Matrix.  Who, what an amazing 12 months!!!

Good luck

That's great news!

I finally found out the cost for my initial visit should only be $240 (including lab work,) so I am ready to get started as well.  It's good to know that at least that much should be taken care of.
