Ready for Hormone Replacement Therapy

Appointment is scheduled for Monday *finally*. It's been a very long month feeling like shit and waiting for this appointment.

Doctor already said if my results showed POF she's recommending HRT's (hormone replacement therapy) and after reading other's stories and benefits, I agree with my doctor.

I don't usually do well with hormone based medications (birth control) but I am willing and hopeful that we will find something or somethings for me to take to finally start feeling more myself again.

Yesterday I requested my lab results so I could review them and do a bit of research before my appointment. When they hit my email this morning to say I was shocked at the results is an understatement. My levels are so high they are literally off the charts.

Again, did I mention I've been feeling like shit?


FSH is 160.6 and LH is 104.4

Those numbers are WAY above even the range of post menopausal women.

So here's to a great appt on Monday after an amazingly relaxing spa day with my bestie.

Also, I don't mind answering questions about whats going on with me as I am quite transparent about everything but there are days I just don't want to talk about it. If I want to talk about it I will def bring it up but some days I just feel like this is consuming so much of myself because of how shitty I feel and I'd rather talk about any and everything else.

Thanks for understanding and I'll be back on Monday with, hopefully, an update.
