if it makes you uncomfortable don’t feel like you have to disclose, but definitely tell your hormone provider that you’re on birth control. generally BC doesn’t interact with t.

i get that but who knows she may know more about how to keep your gynecological area good when u take the t or this experience can help her with her future trans patients if she ends up ignorant or rude that’ll also tell u to remove her from your care team

Understandable, but doctors are some of the few people you need to tell for your own medical safety
