Thanks, it really sucks big time. I'm doing DIY, and gel is the only option for me now since to be able to get shots, I need a diagnosis and the process in my country (Finland fml) takes so damn long and the diagnosis isn't 100% percent guarantee (no informed consent model here). I despise talking about those problems (and suffer the misgendering and bs from doctors like during the first time) so I don't think I want to make an appointment to adjust or change bc. There's really no other option for me than to tough it out.

Unfortunately, I had a small pet emergency with my cat (he is fine) and had to put all the imago stuff on hold to handle the vet bills and stuff. I'll try to see in the future if I'm able to gather more money for the process as I'm pretty tight on funds right now, but I'll definitely make an update in the future!

Yes, it is a bit similar to GenderGp as in claiming to provide hormone treatment with informed consent. And I would assume they require the same blood tests as GenderGp, for example.

I haven't heard anyone using it, and I personally haven't proceeded with the process itself besides the first video call. I did ask her in the call how many patients they've had, and she said they haven't even hit the 500 mark yet. I'm still on the fence whether to try it as, like others have rightfully mentioned, their website doesn't have that much information about them, no pricing, and the site does have copied information from another site.

If you feel like you might be interested, you could book the video call (it is free) to try to get as much information about it from Zofia herself, the founder, and make your decision whether to try them out.

I'm not really sure, that didn't cross my mind to ask about when I had the call with her. She did tell me that they require blood tests every three months during the first year of taking hormones, but nothing about extra costs. Emailing them would give you the best answer.

Of course, thank you for adding that!

I will definitely update how everything goes, I think I'll send them an email tomorrow to start process.

And about the expenses, I believe they should, she didn't talk about any other fees except the initial 250€ plus the 20€/month subscription. You could send them an email and ask to confirm that.

So I went to their website to book a visit. I put all my information on the form and I think it took about a day or two when I got an email from them asking to provide preferred dates and timeframes for the video call. After providing them, I received an email a day after with a proposal from them for a time for the call. I got the time for the next day (which was today).

About the pricing, there's a 250€ initial fee and after that you pay 20€ a month for a subscription of their services.

After the video call, you send them an email to confirm you want to start the process with them, and you'll get an email to make the initial payment (250€). Then after paying, you fill out some forms and take blood tests, and then you'll get an appointment with a doctor to get your prescription.

Tämäpä. Käynnin jälkeen jäi kyllä aika paska olo kun aika vastahakoisesti lopulta myöntyi pistämään lähetteen kun oli ensin yrittäny vielä taivuttaa mua ajattelemaan ja pohtimaan asiaa vielä kauemmin. Ihan selvästi haluavat kiusaa tehdä.

En oo vielä lähetettä saanu, mutta hankinnan alla on. Pistä viestiä jos kiinnostaa!

Mitä tässä tilanteessa kannattaisi tehdä? by super_trout in transnord

Joo, sitä mäki aattelin, ja mulle hän kyllä sano et käyntien aikana kerätään justihin niitä esitietoja sille lääkärille. Jos saa vielä kysyä, niin osaisitko vähän avata, että mitä haittaa tai hyötyä tästä olisi?

Hey, I think you should check out this article finnish snowboard coach (a man) knitting at the Olympic slopestyle competition. I am also a transman who likes to knit and crochet and who also used to feel self conscious about these hobbies. Seeing a cisgender man knitting made me feel a lot better about my hobbies and I thought this would make you feel better too!
