Common Questions About Women's HRT
How long until I feel results?
Most women notice improvements within 2-4 weeks—especially with hot flashes and sleep. Energy, mood, and mental clarity typically follow within the first month or two.
Full optimization can take 3-6 months as we fine-tune your protocol based on how you feel and follow-up labs.
What forms do the hormones come in? Do I have to do injections?
No, injections are not required. Most of our female patients use topical creams, which are easy to apply at home.
Your provider will discuss delivery options based on your preferences and what works best for your body. We want this to fit into your life—not complicate it.
How much does treatment cost?
Most women start around $137–$165/month depending on your labs and symptoms. This includes your medications, follow-up labs (2-3x/year), and consultations. No surprise fees.
Your provider will recommend a plan tailored to what your body actually needs—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
What if my doctor says my labs are "normal" but I still feel terrible?
We hear this constantly. Many women come to us after being dismissed by their OB or primary care doctor.
We treat symptoms, not just numbers. If you're experiencing hot flashes, brain fog, weight gain, or mood swings—even with "normal" labs—we'll work with you to find answers.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe? What about cancer risk?
This is one of the most common concerns we hear. The research on bioidentical hormone therapy has evolved significantly since the older studies that caused fear.
During your consultation, your provider will review your health history and discuss the latest evidence so you can make an informed decision. We don't push—we educate.
Do you prescribe testosterone for women?
Yes. Many clinics won't, but testosterone plays an important role in women's energy, libido, mood, and muscle maintenance.
We'll review your labs and symptoms to determine if it's right for you.
Is telemedicine really as effective as in-person care?
Yes. We've treated thousands of women nationwide via telemedicine. You'll get more one-on-one time with our providers than most in-person clinics offer—and our team is always a text away between appointments.
Is this a lifetime commitment?
No contracts. You can pause or cancel anytime. Most patients stay because they feel better—not because they're locked in.
What if I'm still having periods? Can you still help?
Absolutely. Many providers turn women away if they're still cycling, even if they're experiencing perimenopause symptoms. We don't.
If you're having symptoms, we'll look at the full picture.
What blood panels do you test?
Our comprehensive female panel includes:
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
- Estradiol
- Lipid Panel, Standard
- Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy
- TSH, T4 Free, T3 Free
- CBC (Includes Differential and Platelets)
- Testosterone, Free and Total
- FSH and LH
- DHEA Sulfate
- Progesterone
- IGF-1
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
- Prolactin
Can I use recent bloodwork from another provider?
Sometimes. Labs must be from an accredited lab within the last 60 days.
In most cases, outside labs aren't comprehensive enough, so we may need additional panels—which we will take care of for you.
How long until I get my results?
Typically 7-14 days. Once finalized, we'll reach out to schedule your physician consultation.
Do you accept health insurance or HSA/FSA cards?
We do accept HSA/FSA cards as a form of payment.
Our clinic does not submit medical forms to insurance companies or FSA/HSA accounts. We do not guarantee reimbursement for this payment type.
