[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, go back and tell her that’s fine, you are just going to buy HRT from India off the Internet.  Her loss.  [/quote]
Wut?[/quote]

You can buy meds online from India.  They are not regulated by the FDA, so if your doc refuses a reasonable request you might have to seek alternative means.  It’s on them.

My mom told her doc this and he shrugged and wrote her a prescription since she was going to take them anyway.  It’s obviously not something you’d want to do for scheduled meds but for something as innocuous as HRT, it’s fine.[/quote]

Oh I see. I get it. One needs to take things into your own hands.

I’m on HRT already just not topical. I have ongoing mild headaches and frequent urination at night so that’s how I ended up at this doctor (a uro gyn specialist). She got basic things wrong- she seems to think my periods stopped 6 years ago, and now wants me to come back for a procedure- a cystoscopy- bc I had microscopic blood in my urinalysis (but everything else was normal- no UTI or other issues with my blood work).

I put my symptoms and lab results into ChatGPT and received better feedback and follow up questions from chat than from this gyn, my PCP and a neurologist combined. Chat says the frequent urination is common during peri, and three headaches are likely a stress/tension (I have a demanding schedule) exacerbated by peri/fluctuating hormones, teeth grinding at night, some meds I’m on (Paxil and a GLP) and dehydration (apparently these meds mask thirst so I might not even feel thirsty). None of these doctors i saw asked as many questions, put together those pieces or offered any practical fixes, and the gyn even mistakenly thought I’ve been in menopause for 6 years.

Chat said to use a mouth guard, drink an extra glass of water in AM and PM, and take magnesium at night. I’m going to try that first. [/quote]
