The doctor didn't want to take a hormone test because I am a perfectly fine young lady with no symptoms of unbalanced hormones. He really refused it, kept saying no. And I tried to mention I'm planning to take herbs with a lot of phyto estrogens in it and he was so against it. You shouldn't be taking that, so I didn't dare to talk about NBE. Then I called the lab to do a hormone test seperately and they said I need a doctors approval again. And for some reason I was you know what I'll just do it and see if I get side effects. Cause I don't want to go to another doctor to probably hear the same again.
That's what I was thinking. When I went to Planned Parenthood, they really didn't think anything about me either. The doc said since I was 18, I should be normal/balanced considering that I'm not losing or gaining weight too fast or having irregular periods. I wanted to make sure. I feel that a doctor should let their patient do that, why do they have a say of something you would like to do? It's a simple blood test I think. I understand it has to do with having consideration of your health but it's should be your choice. This may not be the greatest idea, but trying NBE and see how your body reacts is the only option for some if the doctor refuses to get an accurate hormonal test :/
Yes unfortunately it is. It would be so much safer it they were more open-minded and would listen to us. Instead of immediately waving it off. It's true it's just a bloodtest, it's not that we have to do a dangerous test with lots of health risks or so.
