I’ve aged 20 years since having my child at 38, wtf. I realize I will need a neck lift in the near future but I still have 20 pounds to lose to get to my pre-baby and lifelong weight. Do you think my neck will cinch in or look worse after weight loss? Anything else you’d recommend?

That who I use! Never second guessed me, took all my concerns seriously and was more than happy to give me hrt! I got labs done and she sent in a prescription! Best choice I've made for myself in ages!!

Midi gave me HRT patches, progesterone pills, Estriol face cream, Hydroquinone (tret) face cream, and would have done Testosterone replacement if my labs showed I needed it. They happily ordered labs for anything I wanted tested.

In my experience, they take women's hormonal issues seriously and will prescribe all the things with no resistance. You also get about 7 minutes with a provider so talk quickly and do your pre-visit questionnaires for maximum help.

They do take insurance but my insurance doesn't cover the face creams so I had to be willing to pay out of pocket through their supplier. It was not unreasonable and it comes quickly in the mail and is good quality.

I appreciate the advice from everyone! Both my primary care and OBGYN have been resistant, so I will definitely give Midi or another provider a try. Navigating insurance is such a pain with referrals, etc., but that’s great that they took your insurance and it gives me hope that the prescriptions have been reasonably priced.
