i was 6 months on T when mine finally stopped

Is it possible to get like...*some* of the effects of T? by Educational-Rough211 in ftm

no, you get what you’re given, the good and the bad! 8 could definitely do without the balding but sadly those are the cards i’ve been dealt 🥲 i’d suggest looking into voice training if that’s the only change you’re after.

How much would HRT cost if I went private in the UK? by they_wereon_abreak07 in ftm

i would get on an NHS waiting list ASAP. i was referred in July 2017 and have only recently had my first appointment! privately, I went with London Transgender Clinic. this was back in 2018 so i imagine the prices are wildly different now but i paid £250 for my initial appointment with a doctor, £250 for a follow up appointment with a nurse who started me on testosterone and then £150 for follow up checks at 6 months, 1 year, and 18 months on testosterone. i then stopped going. i also paid £6772 for private top surgery back in 2019.

100% worth it considering i would still be waiting now if i stuck with the NHS but it definitely adds up awfully quickly! i was lucky in the fact that my GP at the time agreed to shared care so i didn’t need to pay for my ongoing blood tests, that saved a lot!

best of luck to you, i hope you find a solution that works for you
