I am really dumb and I'm taking care of medical stuff for the first time Who do I contact for more T? Planned parenthood (they prescribed me the T), the pharmacy, my main doctor..??

idk if it's any different for T, but i'd assume not, so do you have any refills left? should say on the container for the meds. if it does, take that to the pharmacy and they'll refill. if not, you'll need to contact the prescriber, which you may be able to do through MyChart assuming they use that i'm also new to HRT so i apologize if any of this ends up being unhelpful - i know things can be different between different regions, providers, etc. but i think this should all hold true regardless

yeah contact planned parenthood. you may need to go back for bloodwork depending on how long you've been on t

since it's a controlled med i believe you can't get refills on it. best to reach out to doc directly

I don’t take t (yet), but I have been prescribed adderall which is another controlled substance. When I needed a refill, I called the office of the prescriber once a month for a refill for two months, but for the third refill I had to schedule a follow-up appointment so my dr could see how I was doing. If you’re unsure, I would call planned parenthood again when they’re open, any medical facility is going to be regularly interacting with people who don’t understand how it all works and should-
