Repost as can’t edit title.

I’m self medicating and requested monitoring bloods, 3 times they said ’we can’t include hormones‘ and then after 3 months of ‘investigating’ they decided they can…

6 weeks of this wait was for them to email the GIC for advice! I can’t tell if they are very incompetent or transphobic.

I’m unsure why they are requesting me to ‘arrange a plan’ and not just letting me book in with the nurse. I am aware the Nottignham advice was primarily reminding them they can do bridging along with blood test ranges, and dosing ranges

If the doc genuinely cares about doing the most she can, she will prescribe me a dose within the NHS ongoing range which I’ve been using on self medication for a year. It should be obvious a starting dose isn’t acceptable and I’ll just tell them you do that, and you’ll have me in your practice more often with all the issues caused by fucking with my hormones.

Tbh I’d also be happy with just an antiandrogen - currently on Cypro, whilst very cheap I don’t want to use it long term and it has defo spiked my Prolactin levels which I understand can actually lower estrogen!Would be a Christmas present if they said ‘we will give you an equivalent hrt regime and monitoring‘ - would save me £400 a year. I don’t know wether to be hopeful or not as it was vague.
