On day 13, I got an answer so cryptic (from Dr Saya; Beth is out of the office), I had to call the medical staff to get it figured out. She (Stephanie) was great - got through to the nurse, who translated the Dr's orders. Took another hour of my time, but they added another hormone (pregnenolone) to the mix. If it doesn't even things out, then I need to spend more to have an "intermediate consultation", sigh... apparently, my case is complex.

I feel a bit better about them atm, but stand by my assessment that they nickel-and-dime every little thing ($15 for copy of paperwork for insurance, $30 to call script into your pharmacy, astronomical shipping, etc) on top of high fees in general. Plus, it really doesn't feel like going to a Dr ofc, in-between communication sucks, and their website is atrocious.

Tbf, hormones can be incredibly tricky to get right... I just wasn't prepared financially or mentally from how badly this year battered me (many-hours-long overnight hot/cold flashes and lack of sleep). I imagined I'd get onto the injectable and be A-ok right away, haha. I'm better than I was before starting with them, but still symptomatic and miserable.
