I have booked my first informal call with the GenderGP. Has anyone any experience of using them and what can I expect?

Thanks

Hello Stacie

There are many UK Susan's members with GenderGP of which I am one and there are also several GenderGP threads either on Transgender Talk Board or here on HRT Board.

I applied to GenderGP last year and am very pleased with their all round service.

At first you will be asked questions mainly medical but also you initial thoughts and aims. If you decide to join and pay initial sum, you will be granted therapy either by phone or Skype or attendance, at an extra cost per session but often only 1 or 2 is/are necessary before HRT by Informed Consent (provided therapist and you desire it) is granted and initially you pay prescription and monthly charge to GenderGP. If you wish to continue with HRT after say 3 months, GenderGP may arrange a "Shared Care Agreement" between GenderGP and your NHSGP and in that event, you then only pay monthly charge to the former and your NHS prescriptions are under the NHS system.

I wish you well if you decide to use them for therapy and/or HRT. I am well pleased with their efficiency, understanding and general transgender care.

Hugs

I had the call with Marieanne today, and it went really well. She is recommending me for HRT which we have agreed and I should hopefully be starting them in 6 to 8 weeks. Very excited lady lol

Congrats, but none of what you just listed requires hormones or a doctor's assistance. 

I was living as a woman with a woman's ID before I ever stepped foot in a provider's office.

Those are just things I want to get done before I come out as Stacie to the world and go full time. I also want to get them nailed before I consider femininizing my body and features. I just need the Hormones to take affect before then too. 

I am so glad it went well Stacie.

There are so many of us with GenderGP!

Please let us know the day you start HRT and I wish you every success.

Hugs

Pamela

Thankyou all, my life is finally starting to fall into place. 😘
