so i'm wondering is it possible i can get my pills from my pcp while waiting for my endo appoint or do i have to go directly to my endo to get my script? all my drugs would be covered under my insurance's list of approved drugs so i can have my pcp call my endo and ask which t-blocker i should be put on but i need to know if i can actually go to my pcp or do i have to wait for my endo appointment which could be weeks since i saw her 2 weeks ago. new to this so the info is appreciated

it really depends on the PCP , I get Estrogen , Spiralactane , and Provera from my PCP. you just have to call around and ask .

i'm seeing my pcp today. he isnt my usual pcp (mines is on maturity leave) but he can still prescribe meds. i just need him to contact my endo since i cant see her until the end of june.

so i went to my pcp and everything is ok, just need to give him my letter but the issue is now, my therapist can only give me a handwritten one until tuesday. can i use that to get a 3 day supply than get the rest on tuesday when i get the typed up one?

Your endo is likely to want baseline blood tests done.. So you may find that you start a T-blocker only to have to stop it again in order to have these blood tests done.

all my blood test have already been done. she is just waiting for confirmation from my therapist so i can start t blockers. the only issue is that i cant see her until the 30 of june so i have to go through my pcp to get to her. i just need to start before my masculinization goes into phase 2

Honestly, if it were me, I'd be waiting to see what my endo's course of action is. At your age, the chance of there being any serious masculinisation between now and your appointment is fairly minimal. HRT isn't a magic bullet any way, chances are if something causes you issues now, it's still going to cause you issues for a good while yet..

true, thats why i'm glad my puberty went in reverse order but because of that, its got a speed boost. by the way my body is changing and the speed of the changes( yes i'm calculating the changes) , i have about a month, if i get lucky a little more than that before i hit stage 2. not really complaining but if i can slow it down i'm willing to go for it, thus why i'm wondering if my handwritten letter could get me a 3 day and when i get my typed, my pcp can fax it over, have my endo call my pharmacy and i can just set up the appoint for june 30. she has my blood work from my pcp and i already went in for my consultation, she just needs the green light
