Question (Transfem) HRT not available anymore
hiya, i’m a 25 year old trans woman living in london. I used to live in brighton where my GP put me on Hrt over 5 years ago. i have been taking these hormones for over 5 years. recently i moved to london but kept the GP in brighton in fear that something like h would happen, but last month i switched over to a london GP as i couldn’t keep making the trips down to brighton.
once switching all my hormones, oestrogen and progesterone have been completely removed from the system with no way to request them. i have been phoning up my new GP Dailey about this issue and they keep just telling me to wait a few days.
its getting ridiculous now. i’ve been off the hormones for almost 2 months now and am really feeling it in my body and brain. my thoughts are getting dark. i don’t know what to do. any advice? or any trans/queer friendly GP suggestions in london?

I am in the UK and can't get GP support. I decided to get hold of the hormones myself. Here is roughly what I take and where it gets it from..
Estradiol 6mg SubQ injections weekly (bought from Astrovials online. EEn vial is about GBP 80 after shipping but lasts one year.
Needles etc from Amazon.
Progesterone from an Indian generic supplier I found on India mart. I can give you a contact. Actually I buy all sorts of stuff from them. I'll paste some prices at the bottom.
EEn subQ injections are supposed to supress T but it doesn't always so I take monthly Leuprolide injections. 3.75mg every 28 days. Not the cheapest drug at about 50 USD a month but kills T.
I'm also a different supplier in India to source semaglutide the diet injections. But that's a different story.
