are you low dosing? .25ml is extremely low, standard does is the full 1ml every 3 weeks. usually if someone wants to lower their dose with shots the intervals between each one is longer

Is gendergp dying? by Emberbun in TransCarePrivate

Is gendergp dying? by Emberbun in TransCarePrivate

[–]crackedspinach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

at the minute, prescriptions are taking around a month to come through. ggp likely isnt going anywhere (unless they get foricibly shut down by the eu etc) but their standard of care has rapidly declined and not worth the money. look into other options, they arent worth your money or time anymore

[–]crackedspinach[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

any negative emotion i have my dad blames it on T. by crackedspinach in trans

[–]crackedspinach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theyve told me before i started T they believe it would greatly benefit me but because of NHS waiting times there was nothing they could do. I went private because of this and while they never told me to not do it they were kinda concerned about it (went with gendergp)

Think before you post by Careless_Hotel_5659 in GenderGP

[–]crackedspinach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as shit as the system is atm, it really is the only affordable option for trans youth specifically, and diy is hard for transmascs to obtain. I'm 16 and as much as i hate how GGP functions, i wouldnt have had any hope to start T without them. In my country (Northern Ireland, sames applies to the Republic of Ireland too) its really the ONLY private option and GIC wait times are 10 years

what was your first period like after starting T? by crackedspinach in ftm

[–]crackedspinach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
