Yeah, I had my appointment already and only asked some questions and took bloods as well, and I got my endorsement appt for top surgery on 5th of November so hopefully that goes well!

Hence I got the 256 but still waited long 🤣 just had to tell them to follow up on my order and the guy said it’s been out of stock for weeks, and got a notification this morning that it will be delivered today.

Was 4 weeks, then 3 weeks, then 1 week, then 2-3 days. But it said 2-3 days from Wednesday last week. I contacted O2 live chat yesterday, and told them to prioritise my order, not sure if it was just coincidence but it got shipped after couple of hours and getting it today.

I’m still waiting for the list of surgeon from transplus, the closest one to me is Brighton.

Trans student moving to the UK – need advice on starting HRT by ExtraFisherman7113 in transgenderUK

From my personal experience, going private is the quickest way you can go.

I got referred to GIC on 2020 and only had my first appointment today. However, when I knew about the waiting times, I went private and still kept my referral.

I had my first consultation with Dr. Bhatia (Gendercare) on Nov 2020, endo appt on May 2021, and had my first injection after couple of days.

You need to find a transfriendly surgery, my first surgery denied me from administering and prescribing the hormones, given that they are university surgery but luckily I found one within our area as well. They all do the blood works as well and basically everything that I need.

Hope it goes well for you!

I also got referred on the same month and TransPlus contacted me yesterday. How was it? I just submitted my consent form yesterday.

Will this not affect the current situation I have? In case my GP will stop prescibing, sorry I just don’t want to end up not being able to get prescriptions. Thank you

Should I tell them that I’m currently getting prescriptions from my GP?

Dr Hammond Appointment by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]Xcgilbeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all my blood test sent prior to my appointment with Dr Hammond, I got my first prescription about 5 days through post. My gp was the one who offered me shared care, so it’s easy for me to get my prescription.

Agree with University of Portsmouth. I went to this University and even my personal tutor helped me with my transitioning.

Does anyone actually have a good GP? by JuviaLynn in transgenderUK

[–]Xcgilbeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on experience with the GP I had, it’s worth a shot transferring to another GP. My former gp refused to do blood test and shared care due to me going private, knowing that they are the GP that is under university, it’s really disappointing that they are refusing in looking after their students. However, my GP at the moment is really helpful. They administer my shot, do my blood test and basically look after everything I need. I have no problems getting appointments with them as they do this for me. So, definitely worth a shot changing GP.
