[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get my HRT from my obgyn, not PCP. Although I would love a well informed holistic PCP I think that’s a unicorn.[/quote]

That's what I do too.  I also have her office do my full bloodwork to see if anything else is wrong and if I even need to waste time to go to a PCP.  Get my annual OBGYN exam, ultrasound, complete blood work panel with hormone levels included (female hormones, testosterone, thyroid hormones, etc).  Then i have a virtual televisit to go over the results, cheaper and doesn't waste time. Her office transmits my updated prescription and then I call for the refills.  She also can refer to specialists if she can see something wrong or advise you to seek one.

To truly get someone who will provide expert care and opinion you need someone who was focused specifically on menopausal research and had dealt with a lot of patients and complicated cases.  It's never going to be a PCP or even a good OBGYN.  There has to be a specialty, just like there are fertility specialists, endometriosis or other specific severe issues, postpartum issues, etc.[/quote]
