Frequently Asked Questions

Start with the free consultation with our patient advisor. Hormone therapy itself begins with a full evaluation: a one-time $350 fee covers your first two visits, including your initial testing and consultation. After the evaluation, program starts at $109/month for one hormone, typically progesterone. That includes refills and pharmacy coordination, direct provider access, and interpretation of your lab results, with labs billed separately. A second hormone brings the plan to $185/month, and a third brings it to $219/month. Thyroid management adds $29/month and B12 adds $19/month. If you prefer the office, injections are $60 per visit, pay as you go. Pellet insertion is $525.

For most women, yes, when it is prescribed for the right reasons and monitored. Hormone therapy is not given here on symptoms alone. Every case starts with labs and a full evaluation, including your personal and family history, and that history helps decide whether it fits you. Doses are set by your provider and checked against follow-up labs, and you have direct access to your provider if something feels off. If your history says hormone therapy is not right for you, we tell you.

The honest answer is that it depends on the hormones and on your history. The increased risk people worry about was tied mainly to older synthetic progestins used in combination therapy. Bioidentical progesterone is a different medication from those synthetics, and your personal and family history matters more than any headline. That is why every case here starts with labs, a full evaluation, and a real review of your history before anything is prescribed. If your history puts you at higher risk, your provider will talk it through with you plainly, and may recommend against therapy.

The signs women ask us about most are hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, mood swings, poor sleep, low energy, and weight that will not move. In perimenopause it can start earlier and quieter: cycles that change, sleep that breaks, a shorter fuse, a body that suddenly feels unfamiliar. We are a symptom based clinic. Labs are part of how every case starts, but we listen to the patient first. If your labs come back in range and you are still hot flashing and wide awake at 3 AM, we address what you are feeling. Start with the free female assessment at hormonetreatmentcenters.com/self-assessment/female-assessment.

It could be. Perimenopause often starts while periods are still happening, sometimes in the late 30s and 40s. On our own assessment, the signs women tie to it most are hot flashes, night sweats, and intense PMS, along with sleep disturbances, anxiety, irritability, brain fog, and rapid mood swings. We are a symptom based clinic, so we start with what you are feeling. The free female assessment walks through those same symptom groups, the way our providers read them.
