    My joy is intertwined with my fear; that I will not receive hormones on the same day.

    My girlfriend was from a different town so she got them the same day... but I'm deathly afraid I'll have to endure another waiting period... I don't know how I would be able to bare it.

    I've been waiting for 3+ years for this day, and for the past 70 days I have been counting down on the calender.

    2 weeks is not far away... I'm incredibly excited! But if I have to wait 1-3 months after that I might just go insane... quite possibly literally, I have terrible anxiety and have gone into hypertension for much less.

    I'm sure I am worrying for nothing but until the event has transpired I'm constantly stressed.

    On my first visit my doctor put me on spiro, then we had another visit a month later where he drew blood to check potassium levels and wrote the scrip for estradiol, and he doubled my spiro dosage. The third visit was 3 months after that when he doubled estradiol and spiro again and started me on progesterone. I would honestly be prepared for a possible short wait as you start out just because the doctor doesn't want to confound variables and these medications are no simple matter. You will come to realize that patience is absolutely necessary to your sanity in this process.
