When you’re first starting hormone therapy, we recommend a follow-up every 3 months to monitor progress and ensure your treatment is on track. During this time it’s likely we’ll make adjustments to your medication, talk about symptom relief and work to get you feeling optimal so care is more frequent. Once you’re feeling great and your levels are stable, follow-ups are flexible — you can book an appointment anytime you feel it’s needed. There’s no ongoing requirement if no changes are being made. Refills for the same dose and form of medication do not require a virtual visit so long as your feeling well and happy with your treatment.
However, a follow-up is required if:
There’s a change to your plan of care
You need to adjust your medication (dose, form, or route of delivery)
You want to review new lab results
You’re experiencing side effects or need to discuss your response to treatment
- Once a year to review labs and check in.
Think of it like your regular doctor’s office — if you need to see your provider, simply book an appointment with your ARNP.
