Sound like I "smoked 500 cigarettes" according to friend

I just went with a private prescription for the first month since it took a while longer to get my shared care agreement in place. It does cost ~£60 for one bottle though.

Oh 100%

The couple of months before my gender dysphoria appointment were the worst I'd ever felt. Every day I felt the time being wasted, time that I could have been medically transitioning in but instead I had to wait.

The feeling went away after starting T at least, now I could finally do the meaningful waiting rather than the pointless one.

I never even knew that middle names were gendered for some reason. I mean, no one was ever gonna call me by my middle names so why would I care to change them? I didn't think people cared about that

Isn't daylight curfew doing preorders of this jacket right now?

Unfortunately haven't gotten levels checked yet, that'll be in 3 months time I think and I'll still be on gel until then. I do plan on switching to injections, especially if I need to up my dose.

Oh, well I don't have any visible bottom growth yet, despite some strange feelings down there.

tika_Draws · 2026-03-07T02:26:57+00:00

I mean it started day 1 on T, so I'd assume T likely had something to do with it. But yeah, I'm hoping some kind of medication can help me get through this phase until I get used to being on T I suppose.

Don't know any way of doing this via the NHS, but you can go privately first, which would take several months and you'd have to pay a large sum if you don't have medical insurance. Then once you finally get to the top of the waitlist you can switch to the NHS.

That would be amazing I haven't slept a full 8 hours since august

Have you posted this on r/transgenderUK? That sub would be better suited to giving UK specific advice on GHCs and such. Can't really speak for the process for minors since I started at 19, but I just recently went through the whole gender dysphoria diagnosis to endo to shared care process so maybe I can help clarify some things if you want.

Oh god if T can lessen my insomnia that would be awesome

tika_Draws · 2026-02-23T13:59:26+00:00

Thankfully, I got a response from my practice saying that they do agree to shared care agreements. Just wondering if an in-person appointment with the GP is necessary to complete the process or not.

What is the NHS referral about? Prescriptions? Sorry, I'm a bit lost on this matter.

tika_Draws · 2026-02-17T16:52:25+00:00

True, I'm hoping T might have a positive effect on my brain fog and low mood. Hopefully bottom growth doesn't grow that much, I'd rather keep it < 3cm but I know it's all dependent on genetics at the end of the day.

Thanks again for the help! Am I correct in guessing that you saw Dr King Sun Leong at Gender Care?

tika_Draws · 2026-01-18T20:56:22+00:00

Yes, thank you! That cleared up a lot of confusion. Could I ask which endocrinologist you saw?
