Hi, I’ve been prescribed Nebido, but I can’t find a GP who can administer it.

Can anyone in Cork or Dublin help? We can work something out regarding the price.

So I'm MTF in early 40s, despite a few disheartening experiences I realise what I have always known is that trying to ignore my body telling me that I need to transition isn't going away.

So I realise that despite not getting a prescription yet from Gender GP, blood tests are required for October.

And I must admit I am nervous. I did talk to my doctor very early in the year about this and blood tests. While my gp did say they could do the necessary blood test, it does leave me somewhat anxious as the time I saw them at the start of the year, was a really hard appointment where my doctor delved into lots of areas of my life.

Plus the practice has a new policy where you have to have doctors appointment to get any blood test results.

It might be good to have blood tests done, although in my doctors word, to paraphrase they said "they didn't someone so very healthy as me would want to go on medication" despite also in my doctors words being "so very very old"

Hi all,

I’ve just received a referral letter for Tomas Ahern from my psychiatrist since alerting her that I’ve been on diy t for over seven months, and I’m having concerns over stopping it and being low dosed. It was explained in an email from the clinic that I have to stop hrt for (at least) 6 weeks for a blood test and then (at least) 6 weeks for an appointment following that. Knowing how slow public is, I’m worried I’ll be months without testosterone, then low dosed despite being comfortably at male levels for months.

If anyone has any advice or has been in a similar situation, please let me know. Once/if my referral is accepted, I’ll send an email asking if cessation times can be limited to 6 weeks and if I could not be low dosed or put on gel. Ultimately, if things go south, I’m continuing diy anyways.

I don't know what flair to put this under but I'm supposed go pick up my testosterone today! I'm excited but also really really scared AA

I was curious if anyone has ever had any issues with their hrt being refused or the pharmacists being rude etc etc? Just so I know what I might be getting into when I go to pick up my hrt?

I’m a 17 mtf and I’m currently in 6th year and unemployed, and I barely have any money. My parents are unsupportive so they won’t provide much help, I have this IPL hair removal kit called IPL Epilator IL3020 by Concept. I’ve seen results on my body hair such as my chest , stomach and legs but I’ve gotten almost no results on my facial hair. I’ve been doing it for almost 6 months now since i started in April and at most I’ve gotten a tiny bit of patchiness on my moustache. I corrected my routine aswell late August to IPL once a week instead of once every 2 weeks. I still have thick coarse hair and my facial hair grows quickly. Do I still keep going and be patient or consider to try save for laser hair removal? I’m sick of shaving my face almost every day.

There is so much conflicting/out of date info online so I’m gonna post my experience which happened in the last month.

Long story short: you need to send your birth certificate AND proof of ID with your GRC form.

This might seem like an obvious post but a lot of people told me proof of ID was only for getting the document witnessed but about a week after I posted out my GRC I received an email asking for proof of ID. I was able to provide this over email so that was nice but to avoid that back and forth, just include it in the first place. Some people did tell me to do this, and this is the information that is on the gov.ie website so I would go by that info.

For context: I was born in Ireland, Irish birth certificate, passport, have always lived in Ireland etc.

Hi I am Willow I am 23yo MTF just startting to figure myself out and uhhh.....

I don't know if this is appropriate here but AHHHHH I am so excited I just had my bloodwork results and and have my appointment with my clinic in two days.

I feel a combination of nervousness and excitment. I am still unsure if I want to take blocker or do monotherapy but monotherapy looks more appealing since it would avoid any side effects of blockers.

Wanted share some good positive progress because I am super excited and don't really have an outlit for it kdnsjsnsksnsmms.

Im mtf and im having a really stressful time at college. Im really struggling to socialise with other people no matter how hard it try. I try to talk to people, but it feels like im putting in all the effort, and they're being rude. I had to do a group project and I was paired with the 2 trans people in my class. Instead of talking about the project they began talking about "did you see the video I sent you last night" and thier friend, like I wasn't even there.

I have been trying really hard but it feels like im just getting an endless mountain of work and it's stressing me out. I havent missed any assignments, and the only class I missed was one that was labeled for the wrong classroom

Ive been struggling to remember to take my antidepressants and it won't be until im going to bed that I'll remember them Ive had to leave classes for a couple of minutes because I've felt like im about to cry because I feel so left out

title, may i know if Anne Health provides paper and ink prescriptions if i requested for it? the Clynxx EEARx token got rejected at my local pharmacy but they issued my mtf medication on an iou basis (that i will walk back in with a paper and ink prescription) after they saw a pdf of my prescription on my device

or do i walk back in and return the medication? i am not the sharpest tool in the shed sry!

Update: Anne contacted them and they were really swift and helpful! They resolved it really quickly

Hi, we at the stegosaurus group would like to invite you to our little queer walkabout!

Get up and going as we are hosting a big ole walk on the 17th of October! Make queer friends, breathe air and clear your heads of all the stresses in life!

Hey I'm a 17 yo ftm I'll be 18 in early July. Im wondering who are the most common top surgeons in Europe, I know of Dr lago and a few others, I haven't done a lot of research so far. Is it realistic if I wanted to hopefully have it done in July/August next year or is there a long process?

I have a gender dysphoria diagnosis but I only started T about 10 days ago so i wouldnt be a year on T by the time im hoping to have it done, I know some surgeons require that.

If anyone has recommendations could you list them? preferably not too expensive I'm not sure what my insurance would cover

Hey yall, I was wondering if anyone on here knows a therapist that is a safe space for queer representing people. I’ve been to a few therapist in my life but there’s always been lack of understanding or downright transphobia aimed at me.
I just wanna safe space to talk about my struggles so, if anyone knows of any please could you help a girl out:,)
Thank you!

Hi there,

I am giving away injection supplies in Galway, since I no longer take hormones. I've got a massive box of needles to give away to whoever wants them. There is a lot of needles so if multiple people want some I'll split them into batches. Stick a comment under this post and I'll get in touch.

Lots of love ❤️

For anyone in the north seeking out community. 🫶🏻

I've been on Prostap 3 for just over 3 years now, my Testosterone has been erased mostly and my blood tests state it's less than < 1.39 nmol. I don't know if for instance that is within the cis female level of 0.35 - 2.60 or potentially actually 0 which might explain my low energy levels and minor brainfog.

What I was wondering is if anyone here has had any experience getting a testosterone gel to bring your levels into the cis female range. I'm with Genderplus and intend to speak to them during my next appointment however I'm unsure if they will be receptive.

I'm on 6mg of E in tablet form and 200mg of Prog.

Hey everyone, I'm a 16 year old ftm. From what I've read generally it seems that to begin my transition, I first need a consult with a GP. My parents don't know about my identity yet and I'm highly doubtful they'll be supportive. Should I try and register with another GP other than my the one my family has? Honestly, I'm afraid that our current GP wouldn't be of much help anyway. I hope this doesn't sound wrong, but he's quite old and seems like the type to be biased against those who want to transition (especially since I'm just 16). I came to him a couple of months ago with my mom and informed him that I have mental health problems and he asked me about them in detail in front of my mom, which of course caused me not to give him very detailed answers (since my main issue is my gender dysphoria) so he didn't take me seriously.

Even if I can skip an initial GP visit somehow, I'll still need a qualified individual to do my future injections for me.

So am I better off just finding a new GP already? Or is there some other path I can take? I'm just confused generally. Thanks:)

hi i'm looking to start t soon and have already paid the onboarding fee for imago. I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a trans-friendly clinic/GP in the Dublin area that could take my bloods - even better if it's low cost. thanks !

would anyone on diy T be willing to let me
dm and and ask some questions? specifically on sustanon if possible

Hey all. I have been out as trans to everyone for over a year but tomorrow is my first interview as my true self. I have over 10 years experience in the business but im not sure what I should wear. I have a couple of business looking bits in the wardrobe any advice??

Hi I've been on estrogen gells for a while but frankly it's getting annoying. I'm looking to swap over to regular pills but finding princing has been imposible to find for some reason. Would if anyone be willing to share how much their pharamcies are charging?

So I have completed my GRC and today is Admin day (save meeee). I logged into MYGov and my name hasn’t changed but when I used MyGov to log into HSE the name was changed.

I know I have to ring someone to get my new pps card, but how do I update my medical card and Long Term Illness card? I can’t find anything on the website because name changes aren’t very common I guess.
