Prep-wise I just took my bloods for the last two years (which she didn't pay a lot of attention to) and a list of everything I had taken/am taking with times and qtys. I arrived 5 mins early thinking I could collect my thoughts, and then sat in the waiting room with four....three.....two... one other woman for 30mins waiting my turn. That was uncomfortable. I'm 5'11 and 90kg, and dressed in work clothes. They're all little middle-aged women going through menopause.
First thirty seconds behind the mysterious consult room door were really uncomfortable.
Then it all just kinda flowed. She checked thyroid, bp, reflexes, asked about family history of cardio and health problems, we chatted for a bit about my changes so far and how far I wanted to go...
She told me I'd gone about it all backwards, but liked my current dosage and regimen, and then ordered bloodwork through her preferred lab, and wrote me three prescriptions!
She also set me up with a referral to a clinical psychiatrist just to close the loop, and told me I was on her patient list now, so no more waiting 3months for a return visit.
She knows the difference between progestins and progesterone! She discussed clotting factors and levels, and didn't care that my E level was 1000, as that measurement was clinically largely unimportant in her opinion.
What a find!
