Thanks so much for your feedback, R.C.! We do understand your concern about tracking hormone levels, but blood tests are not needed and are not recommended for a treatment plan. Hormone levels can vary greatly from day-to-day, so blood tests are not necessarily an accurate indication of what you might need. Bloodwork can appear "perfect" on paper, but you still may have symptoms. Your body is more sensitive than a lab test, so if you are having symptoms, then your hormone levels are fluctuating. HRT is, therefore, prescribed based on symptoms and medical history. We want you to feel better, not necessarily "fix" your lab values. We are so happy to help guide you through your menopause journey, so please reach out to your Winona doctor anytime you have a question or concern :)

We are so sorry that you did not see the results that you were looking for, AG :( Just as each woman is unique, so will be her journey through menopause. It can definitely be a frustrating and confusing one. We wish that we could help 100% of women, but Mother Nature sometimes has other plans. Thank your for your kind words about Winona though, as we are glad that you at least had a good experience!

We are sorry that you do not feel better yet, Laura! HRT works best if taken consistently every day over time, so that is why we send your refills to you automatically. The refills are timed to arrive before your existing supply of medication runs out. We never want you to be without your medication so you can get the best results! It can also take around 3 months to see the changes you are looking for as your body adjusts to the influx of hormones. We know it is hard to be patient! A member of our Patient Care team has emailed you for further support ;)

We love you right back, Carlene! It overjoys us to hear that we are a trusted source of information and support to you and to women. Women are often blindsided by the severity of their peri/menopauses symptoms, but one of our top goals is to let women know there is no need to suffer!

We appreciate your feedback, Allison! We are also happy that we were able to help you become an advocate for yourself and find a doctor willing to help you! Above all else, menopause education and empowerment are at the crux of what we do. We want women to know that how they feel matters and that their symptoms are valid...and most importantly, treatable! There is no reason to suffer!
