Title. Haven’t sent me my prescriptions in MONTHS despite being paid, keep taking money every month for what. They don’t respond to any emails either. Genuine robbery.

The blood tests being £51 is insane and i genuinely just cant justify that on top of my testogel but i really want to switch to shots- is there any way around this?

Hi, uk based and FTM,
So I’ve been on testogel for 7 months now, and I had my dose upped to 3 pumps due to my levels being 8.25nmol on 2 pumps from around month 5.
I have a blood test to check levels this Thursday, however due to finances and me only being able to get it through smartway, I feel as if I can not afford the gel especially if I am bumped up to 4 pumps.

I am debating sustanon, and I want to ask how if anyone changed from gel to shots did it and what exactly I would need in terms of needles, syringes, how much they’d cost etc. and how any of y’all who are also uk based dispose of needles.

I see on Google if I change it on the hub I don’t have to do a follow up session as I’m not due one, but ofc I’ll need the training session. Which I can afford, but I’d rather not order more testogel then change to shots cus of the prescription costing 137 . I basically have until the 18th which is when my gel will run out I think.

I’ve literally got like a budget of about 166 and I’m stressed more on affording the change rather than the change itself.

I don’t know, I’m getting rather worried and confused and the internet isn’t on my side today with researching. Any help and advice would be appreciated! :)

ive been charged £5 extra (£35 + £5) each month in my subscription. i emailed the finance@gendergp.com email 5 days ago and have had no response. is there any way to contact them without having to pay even more to them?

Hi I recently had my dose lowered to 0.5ml of enathanate because of high T.

However, they prescribed ampules which only come in 1ml, I emailed the pharmacy who told me I cannot leave the bottle open for 3 weeks between doses so I'd be throwing away half an ampule of medication. Is this normal? Will i just have to deal with it and throw it away? Its very expensive to do that lol. I have sent an email to GGP about it.

Looking to get top surgery, do I need the formal diagnosis session as well as the referral sessions or just the latter?

EDIT: From the UK so no insurance, self paying, going with Miles Berry

Thanks in advance for any help.

So I'm 17 (18 in 5 months) and I'm out to my parents and siblings. I want to start hrt, but my family isn't very supportive of me and I doubt they would want me to start hrt.

So firstly, can I start at 17 without parental permission (as I'm fairly sure you're medically responsible for yourself at 17 in England)?

I'm assuming I still need to tell my GP that I'm trans and doing this but how do I book an appointment for that, like what do I say it's for?

I was going to ask about booking blood tests and things but I've just seen that you can do that on the website.

And I was wondering if there was anything I'm not aware of that I need to keep up with hrt?

If you read this thank you a lot, I don't think these are specific medical questions but generic questions about how this works if you get what I mean? Anyways thanks <3
