So, my Endocrinologist appt. is in November. I know it's only three months, but it feels forever away. So, I guess I was wondering, has anyone here worked with Folx? What is their response rate like? Do they do blood work to monitor your hormones levels? How does that work, a referral to a local clinic? Is it worth the membership cost? Should I just wait and hope I get pushed up the wait-list for local providers?

The guy I've been referred to seems to be more of a "best of what we've got," as he seems to more specialize in diabetic care. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but is there much overlap in diabetic care and gender affirming care, other than hormones in the broadest sense?

I just have a lot of anxiety about this, in the sense that I want to start this up sooner rather than later. I'm 37. I just want a chance to be a hot young woman? Ya know? Just a chance?

My fiance uses Folx health. The loves it they are quick and always available when he has questions. I use a traditional endocrinologist because I get pellets instead of injection or pills. I prefer the in person apponments. But both option have there pros and cons.

Would you and your partner care to elucidate upon those pros and cons? It's kinda why I asked, and with y'all being on both sides of the fence, it would give some really good perspectives and unique workarounds you have found with the roadblocks with both of your care.

How do you like the pellets? Can they do progesterone pellets? Is there a scar after so many times?
