Hi everyone
I transitioned outside of the UK but have lived here for some time. I basically continued on my old regimen, but would like to make sure I get some liver function tests and also take advantage of what I pay my taxes for anyway... Should I just tell my GP or do I have to go through some programme first? I've been transitioned for a long time and have had all the surgeries, etc. I do get cervical screening letters at the moment. LOL
I also live in the countryside...
I'm in the UK too. I would just tell my GP and it might be useful to tell them about your trans history as well.

Thanks. I just wondered if there would potentially be a problem since I obviously didn't go through the same process as the girls native to the country. Can't hurt to talk to the GP - hopefully they are using oestradiol hemihydrate now and not valerate.

A GP can't deny you a necessary health check up. I went to a private GIC and then went to my GP for a blood test and my prescription for T. Even though I didn't go the NHS route she couldn't deny giving me the health care I needed.
Thanks, Elis. The information is much appreciated. Next time I see my GP I will have a chat with her.
