I'm so easily worried!

Had a phone call from the doctor's office yesterday morning, "Are you available this afternoon? The doctors wants to talk to you about your recent blood test"

This, to my mind is not a good thing to say on the phone, immediately I was thinking, "Oh my gosh, what wrong, what has shown up in the test?"

Of course I said I was available, who wouldn't, and so I spent the next 3 hours or so worrying and fretting about what my doctor would be telling me.

Eventually he called and told me that the estrogen level in my blood was at 255 pg/ml and that the communication from the gender clinic was to get this level to the 400-600 range.

He confirmed my current dosage level and said he was considering raising it, he just wanted to get confirmation from the gender clinic on that change.

So there you go - 3 hours+ of worry over nothing.

Hugs

Hi Caroline,

I would have been worried too, how can you not be? They usually don't call if everything is fine so they should have said something in their phone call to relieve that worry.

hugs,

Oh Caroline, I'd have thought the same thing, "they only call when there is a problem". Well I'm happy for you that everythings fine ... just the estrogen adjustment period.
