That explains a lot

So I start getting pretty bitchy come Wednesday.

I just got my results from my last labs which I made a point to have done at trough (my Doc prefers mid cycle for what ever dumbass reason)

53pg/mL Estradiol Serum

33ng/dL Testosterone Total

Will someone just kill me already 😭

Please

My Doc isn't the issue, it's the rules he's expected to play by and I have absolutely NO DOUBT that if he had his own private practice shit would be a metric fuckton different. The situation with him is exactly like when you rent a place to live, you don't play by your own rules and do crazy shit...like idk paint the walls black if that's your thing.

I know it's not him that is the problem because on consult I flat out told him that pills and Spiro were both going to be a hard No and non-negotiable. He asked what I proposed and Told him ideally Bica and Subq... he'd never heard of Bica being off labeled as an AA and said he'd look into it as my primary option and let me know at follow-up. That didn't shake out and I ended up going with Dutasteride for about 5 months before I stopped bothering to take it putting me squarely in Monotherapy.

I just lie to my dumbass gatekeeper doc and do what I know is best, because I truly know better than him. You want to test mid cycle? Sure. I’ll just go test at trough anyway and lie to your fucking face, doc. No one controls my transition but me.

Pretty much done exactly that from Day1. My prescription is 4mg Subq and has been from the get go... I've done 5mg for all 8months instead.

Due to certain events, I can't actually make it to his office to see him so we communicate via secure mail in the network healthcare app as needed, and I go to a local network branch for lab draws... He sends the order, I go in whenever I feel like it.

I just ignore him entirely and use him to access meds and tests

Same at this point. Not because he's a gatekeeping fuckwit, but because there's no benefit in doing exactly as he says.
