Last month, I wrote about the expectation of receiving estrogen patches to replace the tablets I have taken since 28-July-2011. I haven’t written about them since, primarily because I still have not received them.

Estrogen patches
28 OctA few days ago (October 23rd) I posted about my HRT / Endocrinologist visit. I was excited, both because I was going to be getting estrogen patches, and that I’d been told I would be paying zero copay.

23 OctI saw my endocrinologist this morning, in person, for the first time since the pandemic started. We’d been in touch via telemedicine / patient portal messaging, but it’s always nice to have that personal touch occasionally.

1 FebTIL. Well, okay, yesterday I learned. No, not from the doctor. I just had begun to notice that my breasts seem to be growing again. As it happens, I’ve got an appointment with an endo who specializes in transgender HRT on next Monday. So I decided to search hormones and epilepsy. This might be about to get interesting, in the “May you live in interesting times” curse definition of interesting.

28 JulQuoted from a private FB post:
