Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Women in Marietta, GA

Women’s hormone therapy starts at $80 per month. The initial consultation is free, and our clinic does not bill insurance. Your total price depends on the prescribed medication and treatment plan.

Before you begin, we explain which medications, provider visits, and follow-up tests are included, along with any charges for initial testing, additional hormones, or other services. A free consultation does not guarantee a prescription.

No. Our Marietta clinic is cash-pay and does not bill insurance. We explain medication, visit, and testing charges before you begin. Choosing cash-pay does not change the medical evaluation or monitoring needed for hormone therapy.

Hormone therapy can be appropriate for some women with bothersome menopausal symptoms, but it is not risk-free. Benefits and risks depend on your age, time since menopause, medical history, medication, dose, route of administration, and duration of treatment.

Depending on the treatment and your health history, risks can include blood clots, stroke, and certain cancers. If you still have a uterus, systemic estrogen usually requires a progestogen to protect the uterine lining.

FDA labeling changes do not mean these risks have disappeared. Your provider reviews your personal and family history, explains the options, and reassesses whether the benefits continue to outweigh the risks during treatment.

Here’s a fuller look at what the WHI study found and what’s changed since.

Perimenopause often begins in your forties, sometimes earlier, and the hallmark is that your cycles become unpredictable while other things shift alongside. Common signs are hot flashes and night sweats, sleep that breaks up around 3am, brain fog and losing words mid-sentence, irritability or anger that feels disproportionate, weight gain around the middle that responds to nothing, joint aches, and a drop in libido. Less expected ones — heart palpitations, tinnitus, changes in body odor, burning mouth — are also real and commonly dismissed.

You don’t have to have stopped menstruating to be in perimenopause, and you don’t have to wait until you have.

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, in bioidentical forms — molecules structurally identical to what your body produces. Most treatment plans use a combination rather than a single hormone, tailored to your labs and your symptoms. We also address thyroid imbalances, which frequently sit underneath symptoms that look hormonal.

We use creams, patches, injections, and oral forms. We don’t currently offer pellets.

That’s a clinical preference rather than an availability issue: pellets are implanted and release hormone steadily for three to six months, which means that if the dose turns out to be wrong for you, there’s no straightforward way to adjust it until it wears off. Adjustable methods let us respond to your labs and how you’re actually feeling. If pellets are specifically what you want, we’re glad to point you toward a provider who offers them.

Testosterone may be considered for selected women with persistent, distressing low sexual desire. Evaluation includes possible medical, medication-related, relationship, and other contributing factors—not testosterone testing alone.

Treatment can cause side effects, including acne and increased facial hair, and long-term risks remain under investigation. Your provider explains the proposed medication, its approval status for the intended use, potential risks, and monitoring requirements before prescribing.

We check estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, total and free testosterone, a full thyroid panel including TSH and free T3 and T4, plus a complete blood count and metabolic panel. Timing can matter depending on where you are in your cycle, and we’ll tell you when to come in. We can draw labs here in the clinic, or send you to LabCorp if that’s easier.

Sleep and hot flashes usually improve first, often within two to four weeks. Mood, energy, and mental clarity typically follow over six to twelve weeks. Libido and body composition take longer — three months or more — and depend on other factors alongside the hormones. We adjust your dose based on follow-up labs and how you’re feeling, not a fixed schedule, so the first few months usually involve some fine-tuning.

No. Menopausal hormone therapy is not contraception. Pregnancy can still occur during perimenopause. Tell your provider if pregnancy prevention is needed so contraception and symptom treatment can be considered together.

At your Marietta consultation, we discuss your symptoms, menstrual history, medical conditions, medications, previous hormone treatment, and goals. Tell your provider about any unexplained bleeding, cancer history, blood clots, and pregnancy or contraception needs.

Your provider explains whether testing, hormone therapy, another treatment, or referral may be appropriate. We review costs before you begin. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription.
