Yesterday, I had quite a bad scare about my hormones. I was wondering why it was that I had not gone to the clinic for Estradiol in what seemed like a while. So, I counted out my medications and it looked like there were about 12 days worth of Estradiol pills left. The problem with this is that according to the label on the bottle, the last time I refilled my hormones was on June 10th. Oh, holy shit. That was well over a month ago and that really does scare me, seeing as I would have taken only 18 days of meds in a 42-day period. For me to have taken that amount of Estradiol in that span of time is a real MediScare. This means that I have made a lot of mistakes that could seriously have some adverse effects on my health.
Of course, it could just be an old bottle of Estradiol. My new bottle of Spironolactone says ‘2 refills left’ and my Estradiol bottle says that there are 4 refills left. This makes no sense because since the doctor upped my Spironolactone to 75mg twice a day, I had to get an extra bottle of Spironolactone, meaning that the Estradiol bottle I have should read that there are 3 refills left, not 4. I plan to go down to the clinic for my psych appointment today and check to see when the last time I refilled my hormones was. Hopefully, this will give me a little peace of mind and hopefully, help me to breathe a little easier.
Either way, one does worry extensively when things like this happen. It’s seriously a big moment when you think “Oh, my god! What is going to happen to me? Am I still going to be feminized the right way with this gaping gap of estradiol that has not been filled? Is this going to adversely affect my health care?”
