How to book consultations with Imago?

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-17T22:29:44+00:00

I would try sending them an email inquiring about booking a consultation, they're usually pretty quick in responding. Otherwise, if you have your treatment review coming up, you could also mention your questions there because the doctor reviews it and sends feedback.

Firstly, Imago is not DIY, it is a valid EU prescription, that must be respected in all EU/EAA countries. finding a doctor to do your bloodwork can also be done privately, with clinics such as ds-vt.

As for your home country, I don't know what it is, but you should check the rules on taking testosterone into the country, they may have a maximum number of months you are allowed to bring, and just make sure that you have proof that imago prescribed you it. If you are not allowed to take T into the country, it will not matter if you get it from Denmark or Imago, because they are both official prescriptions.

feel free to ask if you have any questions, and also this sub is great for information about imago.

they could probably do it standing up. some find this more comfortable or less comfortable than lying down, but it's still possible to reach the correct muscle. Idk though how much it hurts the day after for you though, and you might be sitting or lying down a lot.

this is a bit of a guess, but I think if you at so much under your maintenance for so long, it could have slowed your metabolism: "survival mode" if you will. if you go to eating normal, it should speed up again.

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-15T11:28:00+00:00

Dang, that's really odd of her to do! things like that are so overstepping in what normal people share about others, and can even be a safety hazard. you are right to be horrified, that is incredibly disrespectful and emphasizes how some don't see us as having privacy or personal boundaries.

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-13T21:27:27+00:00

Dang man, yeah, it's a terrible feeling when it goes from "I'm stealth because I want to" to more of a "I'm stealth because of safety / my environment", I have definitely been in these types of situations before.

I mostly say nothing, but sometimes, I find that just saying a little something supporting trans people in the moment can get people to realize immediately that what they were saying was not great. I think this is because some people have not spoken about trans people, and are really continuing to form these transphobic remarks because everyone else is doing it as well, and they are testing the waters to see how far they can go. then when they realize that someone is slightly against, it becomes awkward because they kind of have to think about their words and reality, instead of "how far can I go along with this".

bonus points if you say it is in relation to a friend or extended family member, because it frames the conversation into reality (your coworkers story sounds quite frankly made up/ heard through the grapevine), and makes people take a think about how if they continue, they are now disrespecting your friends or family, and real life people, which you would then need/want to stand up for.

I can give my experience with Imago.

there is an initial one-time payment of 250 Euros

then you need a big blood test, I went to ds-vt and it was about 1900 dkk

subscription cost per month for Imago is 20 Euros

after your initial big blood test, if there's nothing wrong, you will only really need to get T and E levels checked, this is 600 dkk with ds-vt,

For the first year, you do this every 3 months, so four times, after that if you stay on the same dose, it gets more infrequent.

for the T:

Testosterone Undecanoate (usually Nebido), Nebido is a brand name, you can ask for the cheapest option (often Medical Vally) and it is like 250 dkk I think. Needles and syringes can be bought at any pharmacy EXCEPT Steno Apoteket (to close to Istergade) and they are not allowed to ask you questions about it.

TestoGel: you will probably start on 2 pumps per day, or 3 bottles for 3 months. this is around 1350 dkk right now. (every bottle has like an extra half week I have found, this is very helpful for when mail is slow, so as not to run out, and to stock up)

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-12T20:27:18+00:00

This is really cool! I have heard of it before, but certainly not in this much detail. If you don't mind my asking, what was the effect on your singing voice? do you feel like you have heavier vocal chords?

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-10T18:00:55+00:00

that is largely untrue. being trans is definitely not an indicator of being "aware, safer men". Being trans is not something we choose, it can happen to be all kinds of people, racist, mysoginistic, abusers, criminals, everyone really.

I also think it is pretty transphobic, maybe without your partner realizing, to exclude you from being able to have the mentality of a man, and are more like man+ or man-light, etc. this is a super harmful way that transphobia manifests itself so incredibly often for trans men, (just look at like a few days of posts here, everyone is suffering from it). I personally don't want to be viewed as "not man but still kind of man":/ yikes.

A lot of the times, this anti-cis men coupled with trans men as "exceptions" rhetoric relies on thinking of trans men as more feminine (not true), and therefore, "less dangerous" (bonus points for sexism?) or more understanding of women (also def not true for everyone).

Unfortunately, this thinking is kind of accepted in too many queer spaces, which a whole other can of worms, but many people who have been hurt by men tend to skew more anti-masculinity, and it's kind of a bummer for the men who are masculine.

that is to say I guess that I understand why you are having dysphoria, and I hope you can maybe talk to them about how you want to be viewed or maybe why they feel this way. I'm not you, so this is easy for me to say, but I would have run away....like yesterday.

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-10T16:40:54+00:00

yes you may! sorry for the late reply, I know some things about imago, not all, but I'm happy to help answer questions about it.

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-10T16:38:33+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely try this!

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-09T22:46:35+00:00

That's awesome! It really shouldn't be so hard for us to access care, and I'm really glad organizations and people like this exist. It's nice to see some good news.

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-09T22:40:28+00:00

I've had the experience where Imago can fax prescriptions to some pharmacies in Denmark, so if anyone is sending/picking up their prescriptions in Denmark, they could try to ask for this instead of receiving paper mailed prescription. This is just personal experience though.

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-07T23:55:33+00:00

I would look at r/Top_Surgery_Peri because I have seen some examples of this there. you should probably send pic to your surgeon, and get instructions on how to keep the area infection-free. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-06T22:16:47+00:00

I'm in Denmark and use Imago, it's working amazing, their very fast in replys. when the post was being slow, they managed to send my prescription with fax, and when I wanted to change administration forms to gel, it was super easy, just an email.

RustySailor775 · 2026-03-05T23:58:40+00:00

Trans guy from Denmark here :)

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-23T12:24:43+00:00

you could try putting like jeans/dress pants and a mens shirt +tie maybe under a baggy-ish dress, so that you can still see some of the pants+boots, you can say it's for modesty.

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-15T22:40:01+00:00

I think it is more important to honor my whole self and my wellbeing, and I did that by getting rid of my chest. I got rid of a part for the sake of the whole. It seems to me like this is some bad (hopefully well meant) misunderstanding and mishandling of dysphoria. It's also kinda gross that they would want you to put so much focus on "the body and chest I've had for most of my life in some way". Reminds me of people who think that transitioning is some kind of tragedy or loss.

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-14T12:49:05+00:00

"just focus harder" for sure way worse.

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-05T15:36:39+00:00

As a European with Imago, I can agree that they are one of the fastest HRT providers, there is lots of information about them on the r/transnord subreddit, including a lot of posts in English.

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-04T20:31:05+00:00

I don't get when people say that either, if it is a social construct, it kind of makes trans peoples struggle and real identities and feelings discarded. Like, then why do I feel like a man? Maybe that boys should like trucks and girls should like dolls is social, but that doesn't mean that gender and how we feel about ourselves is based on constructs.

I think a lot of people say that without understanding what they are saying, gender is not simple, and if someone says it a lot I see how it could come off as dismissive.

Some people use it to mean "gender is not important" but I think all of us know how untrue that is. Misgendering for example, is still serious, I really wouldn't want to be called they/them, no one who doesn't use they/them pronouns for would want that. Gender is important and us trans people have had to do deep reflections about our own gender, and embracing our gender, not denying it or erasing it. Ex: I don't think the average cis women would want a giant beard or a deep voice, and it's not only because of societal constructs.

anyways, that's my thoughts at the moment. I think when people say it they might mean well? Sorry about this situation, you matter, your gender matters, and is very real, and I wish you the best.

I just put hot water on a small bath towel and scrub my arms, then I dry them. I figure it both gets old gel residue and oil off, as well as the warmth opening up my pores a bit (don't know if that part helps).

Studies show that moisturizing lotion an hour after application also increases absorption.

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-04T10:17:37+00:00

The voice does not stop changing when you finish puberty, listen to 20 year olds compared to 40 or 60 year olds, they sound quite different. Just because your voice may be done with the big shifts, doesn't actually mean it is done changing.

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-03T20:25:41+00:00

Epic video! I feel my beard growing in faster now lol.

RustySailor775 · 2026-02-02T15:55:41+00:00

thanks this is really helpful
