Title: Urgent?
Post by: Kukaku on March 09, 2013, 03:39:47 PM
I'm 6 months in my HRT and I'd just recently ran of my estradiol.  Of course my bottle says no refills,  and to top it all off, it's the weekend so my doctors office is closed till Monday.  I still have finasteride, so I'm not too worry.  But, I was wondering if this was urgent enough to call my doctors emergency number, or if this something that can wait till Monday?

A couple of days without it is unlikely to cause any serious issues.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor! I think you'll be fine, other than anxiety until you get your refill. Hugs, Devlyn

I have went several days without any problems.  You should be fine.

Estrogen stores itself in the fat cells you should have enough in your system to last a week as long as you keep your T at bay.
