Well…I think?
I woke up absolutely sure I was gonna just cancel the endo’s appointment, pretend to be sick and stay at home. Buuuuut, I’m so glad I didn’t!

He addressed my lactation concerns, confirmed high prolactin from my last test and took my blood again. He said that if this one came back high too, I’d have to get an MRI, which I’m really fucking scared of doing 😭

But, but! I asked him about prolonging my injection interval from 3 to 4 days. I was already doing that, I switched as soon as I saw my results, so basically behind his back (oops), but I just wanted to make sure he knew. He was absolutely fine with it, of course.

Also! This was completely unexpected, but he himself offered me the option of monotherapy! Which completely blew my mind, cause endos in this country fucking suck in general and are for some reason hellbent on prescribing 50mg+ of cypro any chance they get. I guess his reputation doesn’t lie…
So of course I accepted, I’ve been looking forward to ditching cypro so fucking much. So byebye, overkill white pills! Oh and I can drink now, I guess?
Although, if my T shoots up, I’m gonna fucking die. But that hopefully shouldn’t happen with 5mg EV every 4 days…

And also, I got an SRS referral letter for the Suporn clinic! Signed and stamped by my endo. Already sent the clinic an email, so hope that turns out okay. It’s…really important to me. And now I’m (hopefully) one step closer!

All in all, great! I’m so glad I didn’t just stay at home, lol. Although I was totally planning it. The lack of motivation and anhedonia from withdrawal is reaaaaaally uncomfortable. But…I think I’m doing okay 💜

Edit: I had one can of beer! And I’m drunk af, lol. Zero alcohol tolerance at all! I don’t drink very often, either.

    Thanks 🩷

    The wait lists still are hell and I probably won’t be able to get it before 2028. But honestly, the results are more than worth it to me, for something so important that I can only get done once.

    It’ll be worth the wait 💜

      Two years is much better than the lottery system to get a spot onto the two year waitlist I remember. And yeah, surgery prep takes a long time anyways so two years sucks but is manageable. And finding a surgeon you trust is so important, especially considering there are some bad surgeons out there (I know nothing about Czech surgeons, and I went to someone relatively nearby to me at the time).
