I have frequently been asked at our Group Sessions what is the best way to take self administers Hormones. the simple answer is "don't"!! Seek professional advice, from day one, through your General Medical Practitioner". The next remark I hear is that the Oestrogens have been supplied, via the internet, in the intervening period between GP referral to a designated Gender Identity Clinic and their first appointment. Exeter is presently over 9 months wait for an initial appointment; and, most of the rest, one to three years. Newcastle, for non-locals is an unbelievable twelve and a half years! No surprise that Transgender individuals are not prepared to wait.
My Medical qualificaions include full postgraduate training in Endocrinology, prior to my inevitable move into a surgical career: Plastic and then Ophthalmic-Plastic Surgery in the UK. I retired earlier this year as an University Professor. I propose, in a cocidil to this blog, to elaborate on the problems of treatment and dose adjustment in the clinical arena; as an illustration of the impossibility of achieving and sustaining any semblance of satisfactory progression via self-administration.
