If you wait for the GIC, the wait seems to be a year or two. I doubt if your doctor will "offer" HRT. You would have to ask for it.

Thanks as always Kathy, sure your sick of 20 questions with me lol. As ive considered self medication i think ill mention this. My doctors not too nice a man so I'm unsure how supportive he's going to be, it depends if he's been reported and observed again. That's usually when he's ok if not I've been talking to GenderGP. Only problem is I can barely afford the starter fees and I'm at the point that I really need it now. Ta
