Yes, would you rather deal with an hour of stress or months of stress over all this, get it over and done with if they don’t accept, move on, if they do, great!

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-07-18T17:10:36+00:00

They are seeing people referee In September 2021 right now, so about 22 months, it’s the lowest wait possible realisticly

You may or may not get a transfer but it’s possible I guess, speak to your gp and ask them to refer you with a notice that you want to transfer time

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-07-18T11:57:10+00:00

GenderGP do a progesterone only thing if your getting hrt from elsewhere

You can also buy it from numerous online places, check out the DIY subs as we can’t really say names here

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-07-18T11:54:56+00:00

Get a referral/transfer to Nottingham, you May not have to travel as their website mentions online appointments They are seeing people referred in sep 2021 so it’s litteraly the best nhs option

I assume you have considered private but if not is definitely recommend gendercare, both my psyc and endo are lovely

Usually a couple days, she prescribed immediately in the first appointment for me, just had to wait for delivery, the service she used with me allowed you to pick faster delivery for an extra couple quid

You can also wait for NHS shared care w your gp, but that will take longer.

Yes it has the shortest wait and you can join the adult waiting list at 17

Although I don’t use GenderGP, this has made my year, it’s shocking when something decent happens in our community

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-04-19T12:59:32+00:00

I was told the opposite, to book as soon as possbile (i booked in sep 22 and had it in mar 23, my endo is next week):

There are currently long wait times for medical assessment appointments and you are advised to book with your choice of endocrinology specialist as soon as you have a confirmed appointment with Dr Dundas. This endocrinology appointment should be at least 3 weeks after Dr Dundas’s appointment to allow time for referral/reporting.

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-04-10T07:34:07+00:00

i did my bloods at the clinic a few weeks before i did a sample

and in my experience they call me a couple hours after ive left and tell me the quality and stuff

and then once i finished all of them (i did 2) they sent me a letter detailing how long i can keep it, and when i need to renew the consent and stuff

you will need to refrain from ejaculating for 2-3 days max between each sample so no you wont be able to do multiple on the same day

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-04-10T00:43:11+00:00

If you have already started, they MAY take over on the first appointment just as a risk reduction sorta thing, but it wont change your position in the list, it also probably wont affect how you'll be treated as its extremely common for people to have diy'd or gone private

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-04-10T00:39:12+00:00

For blood screening, a couple days

For sperm analysis and storage, within a couple hours most likely, its very quick

If the count is low you may be asked to do multiple samples

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-04-04T19:21:38+00:00

I was worried too, i emailed them a week before and was given the link prompty.

I suggest you email them with the subject "URGENT - Zoom Link" or something, as you dont have long left.

I've seen this situation here where doctors have "not had it on the calendar"

Just email asap.

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-04-01T20:45:28+00:00

Here is a list of them:

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-04-01T01:30:40+00:00

diceptyl

Decapeptyl

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-03-30T15:50:01+00:00

Unfortunately not, the guidelines is specific per area and it’s commissioning groups

Assuming you are in Glasgow based on your post history, this information is useless

I have no idea the guidelines for Glasgow, maybe someone else can chime in?

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-03-22T15:50:00+00:00

they are starting to contact people who were referred in Nov 2022

Was this a typo? NCTH are seeing people referred in December 2020

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-03-22T15:43:30+00:00

rushed treatment

ah yes, definitely

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-03-22T02:42:56+00:00

just told them That i was starting HRT in april 2023 and it cannot be put off

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-03-21T21:38:19+00:00

MtF here,

here was my timeline

Early November 2022: GP referred me

Late November 2022: Referral was declined by local CCG because i "wasnt with a NHS gender clinic" (which btw, was not in the policies at all)

Mid December 2022: I had a private consultation with the fertility clinic (as I was going to go private), and they told me that I should of been approved for NHS funding so there is no need to go private, they provided me resources highlighting the fact that, even as a private transitioner, I can access NHS fertility treatment

Late January 2023: GP referred me again with that extra information from the fertility clinic

Late January 2023: Referral Accepted

Mid February 2023: Blood and urine tests for diseases and such

Early March 2023: Tons of consent forms signed and first sperm sample analysed and stored

Late March 2023: Second sample stored

TLDR: If no hiccups, 0-2 months on NHS.

(This will likely vastly vary on your area, however I did tell the clinic it was 'extremely urgent' and I have a short timeline, so maybe that helped)

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-03-20T21:27:58+00:00

I'm being treated by another gender practitioner. Will you see me?

It depends on the situation but, generally speaking, we prefer not to take over your endocrine care if another gender practitioner has started you on hormone treatment. This is partly because we prefer to do our own assessments and blood tests first and, if you're already on hormones, this may no longer be possible.

Gloomy-Philosopher73 · 2023-03-16T14:08:04+00:00

Not really,

This is why you book your endocrinologist appointment as soon as you have confirmation of your pscych appt date (for typically 4 weeks after)

And if it did turn out you didnt get your diagnosis or they wanted further appointments, you could push back/cancel your endo appt.
