Title: Hrt, almost
Post by: josie68winter on June 16, 2016, 09:07:49 PM
My blood work came back, kind of. The lab faxed it to my endo, but it was 5 minutes past closing. Which means no sleep for me, not until I hear back tomorrow and find out my e dosage. Now I am wound up.

That'll leave you on pins and needles. 

Could be worse.  The endo could have just left on vacation...  :/

The Waiting Game can be tough.  Stuff keeps cycling around in our heads, uselessly worrying and frustrating us.  I recommend shopping... OK, anything to distract ourselves.  (Probably why I've been here so much recently.)

I hope it goes well for you.  Good luck!

I got to thinking, from the time I started therapy, to todays point of starting hrt, has been a short 4 months. I cannot believe the process went that fast. God is good, a prayer answered.
