I got the pellet implant on my 3 month mark on hrt which was 3 days ago but since have been really concerned that it might not work
Is there any easy way outside of blood tests to find out like signs or tells I feel like I am just over exaggerating but ibfigured there could be someone here with more pellet implant experience than me. I would ask my endo but my next appointment is 3 months away.

Hi Ladypheonix 🙋♀️ Welcome to Susan's Place! I'm Jessica.
I'm not aware of any tests other than blood tests than can measure if anything is happening. Please be patient, hrt takes some time till you begin to see real change, it's a slow process.
Hugs and smiles, Jess
Pellets do not instantly give you high hormones levels. They work by slowly releasing hormone at the same rate as your body metabolizes the hormone. It will take a week or two to build blood levels to a steady state. The general rule is that it takes 5 half-lives to get to steady state blood levels.
Being this anxious 3 days out seems to indicate an emotional issue. Be assured that the hormone is building in your body right now and will reach steady blood levels shortly, but you will not seen physical results for 6 months to a year.
