Hi
I've just come back from the doctors. I had blood tests, and they have confirmed that my hormone levels show that I am "going through the change".
I thought hurray, that means that I will be able to get some help. No, just got a flat "HRT is too risky due to increased risk of breast cancer".
When I pushed, I was asked what my symptoms were, and as I said "heavy bleeding", the doctor looked very perplexed saying that with my hormone levels I should no longer be having periods

So no option of HRT and I need to keep track of my periods and go back in 3 months to advise.
I was also told my folic levels were low. Anyone else have this?
When I come back in the next life, I wanna be a man
