Title: HRT In The Bag... Boom.
Post by: AbbyKat on May 15, 2015, 06:10:12 PM
Did it!  Today!!

**EDITED DOSAGE OUT, SORRY** Starting off low dosages on Spiro and Estro.  In about a week, I'll get bloodwork and then the doctor said she'll probably get more aggressive with the dosage.  WooooOOoOo! 

Seriously... I feel like I've been waiting decades for this.  I guess I have.

Mod edit - thanks

Very happy for you thats a great start!
I do think it is against policy on here to post dosages but it is okay to let us know what your taking and even your hormone levels so feel free to report back with that blood work if you wish!

But id edit out those dosages! c :

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!
Remember its a marathon not a race <3

Mod edit - thanks for stating dosage rules, edited out the repost to - thanks

Oh crap, thank you!  I was just trying to preemptively answer questions I figured I'd get (I normally see the question on these sorts of threads).  Edited it out, thanks again.

Congrats!!!

What's that yellow warning label though? I had none of that on mine. Only a sheet that came with it, warning about taking while pregnant etc.

Haha it probably says to take this medication with food
I could snapshot all my prescriptions and they all say this Im surprised yours do not.

For example my script for progesterone says:
"may cause dizziness"
on that yellow label

Interesting. I get mine from Walmart and it doesn't have the warning on the label.

The e says take one by mouth 3x/day.

The spiro says take one per day by mouth. No mention of food.

Incidentally the E dose is the same that my (cis) wife got a few years ago.

Most of you guessed it.  Both say "read the crap that came with this", one says "don't take this if I become pregnant", and the other says "I'll make you dizzy".
