I just got home from my #HRT followup with the endo I've been using for several years now. I love him. He listens, and he is friendly and respectful. He works in the "Transitions of Care" center at Grady hospital in Atlanta.
The big news is: I am getting off of E tablets and changing to patches.
0.05 mg/day, once weekly to start. He said that we'll do blood work and follow up after a month.

We discussed injections too. I was candid with him about my PTSD around needles, and even though I thought I "might" be able to do it, I decided against it. I just don't need to add that to all I've got going on right now.
Oh, and it turns out he is involved in a 2 year "cohort study" for "trans women and trans feminine people". It's mostly going to be survey based, with some at-home HIV testing, among a few other things. I said I was interested. He gave me a flyer. Apparently, I may be "eligible to earn up to $160 a year" for participation, all from home. As my grandma used to say "Can't beat that with a stick."
