Well...I think?
I woke up absolutely sure I was gonna just cancel the endo's appointment, pretend to be sick and stay at home. Buuuuut, I'm so glad I didn't!
He addressed my lactation concerns, confirmed high prolactin from my last test and took my blood again. He said that if this one came back high too, I'd have to get an MRI, which I'm really fucking scared of doing ๐ญ
But, but! I asked him about prolonging my injection interval from 3 to 4 days. I was already doing that, I switched as soon as I saw my results, so basically behind his back (oops), but I just wanted to make sure he knew. He was absolutely fine with it, of course.
Also! This was completely unexpected, but he himself offered me the option of monotherapy! Which completely blew my mind, cause endos in this country fucking suck in general and are for some reason hellbent on prescribing 50mg+ of cypro any chance they get. I guess his reputation doesn't lie...
So of course I accepted, I've been looking forward to ditching cypro so fucking much. So byebye, overkill white pills! Oh and I can drink now, I guess?
Although, if my T shoots up, I'm gonna fucking die. But that hopefully shouldn't happen with 5mg EV every 4 days...
And also, I got an SRS referral letter for the Suporn clinic! Signed and stamped by my endo. Already sent the clinic an email, so hope that turns out okay. It's...really important to me. And now I'm (hopefully) one step closer!
All in all, great! I'm so glad I didn't just stay at home, lol. Although I was totally planning it. The lack of motivation and anhedonia from withdrawal is reaaaaaally uncomfortable. But...I think I'm doing okay ๐
Edit: I had one can of beer! And I'm drunk af, lol. Zero alcohol tolerance at all! I don't drink very often, either.
Yaaay! I know I'm just a random stranger, so I hope this isn't weird to say, but I am SO proud of you!! <3 I'm the same way with doctors appointments, so I totally get how big of a hurdle it can be to get yourself to actually go. And I'm so glad your doctor is so good!! :D
Yay! Thank you โค๏ธ
Yeah doctors are scary af. Why so scary if healthcare provider-shaped?? ๐ญ
Anyway, not weird at all. Thanks!
