I've been trying to start HRT for a few months now. Unfortunately, Kaiser is a real stickler about the whole process. I took the 'exam' with the therapist, and they supposedly submitted it to their committee who apparently gets to decide whether or not I actually need HRT; and then never got back to me. I have no idea if the case is 'yes', 'no', 'no but', or if they're just taking a long time. Like I said, it's been a few months and I'm getting rather antsy about the whole thing. I could just go to another clinic for it (lots of places will do HRT with none or few prerequisites) but the medical insurance I'm under wouldn't cover it; and I'm afraid that if I lose my job or something and can't afford to keep going, things could get really bad.
