[QUOTE="chungus, post: 153722, member: 38932"] Thanks. If they won't budge I will change Dr's but right now work is insane. I have been working 12 hours a day out of town for 33 of the last 40 days. I don't have the time to see a new Dr right now and go through all the hoops to get set up. I understand that 6-12 weeks is the ideal time for follow ups but I guess what I am wondering is how early can I get a lab that would show me that my estrogen is messed up? I am sure if I showed the Dr a lab that showed low estradiol he would agree to take me off of it. Until then he won't. Basically what he told me when I asked about not taking AI when we started that I was going on his standard protocol and to do that until the first labs and if at that point my estradiol was low he would back down or take me off the AI then. I am just trying to figure out how soon I can get a meaningful lab to show him. I sure don't want to wait the 13 weeks he scheduled and if I have to wait 6 I guess that is ok but I was hoping for something sooner if possible. I feel ok. Not like superman or anything but am seeing some improvements. I have had morning wood almost daily the past week and that hasn't happened in ten years. Thursday was officially 3 weeks on the program. [/QUOTE]
