Hi I'm mtf and was looking at setting up my account.

From what I can see I don't get the option to not have progesterone, like I want it eventually but most tgirlies say to wait about a year of E first. I don't think I can get it yet because my savings are about £350 and its £220 of one time fees which leaves me at £130 minus the £35 prescription and membership per month so that alone only gives me 3 months without the payment for medication. If I can get a job in that time it's fine because I am lucky enough to have no other expenses currently. I will probably wait until I have a job but the job market is especially horrible for young people where I live.

So I'm 17 (18 in 5 months) and I'm out to my parents and siblings. I want to start hrt, but my family isn't very supportive of me and I doubt they would want me to start hrt.

So firstly, can I start at 17 without parental permission (as I'm fairly sure you're medically responsible for yourself at 17 in England)?

I'm assuming I still need to tell my GP that I'm trans and doing this but how do I book an appointment for that, like what do I say it's for?

I was going to ask about booking blood tests and things but I've just seen that you can do that on the website.

And I was wondering if there was anything I'm not aware of that I need to keep up with hrt?

If you read this thank you a lot, I don't think these are specific medical questions but generic questions about how this works if you get what I mean? Anyways thanks <3
