Confusing blood test results? (Testosterone)

(For context, I was initially on 2 pumps per day of Testogel.)

I took a home blood test via the Vitall services in February, and got a >52/nmoL result. When I submitted this to GGP they dropped my dose to 1 pump per day.

Today I got the results for my new blood test and it is >52/nmoL again! I’m reluctant to upload these results in fear they will unceremoniously drop my dose again without giving me any advice + I am worried there is some kind of error with these results.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Otherwise I will try and book a consultation.

Is there away to skip a blood test?

My bloods are due on the 17th June, but lifes got in the way a bit and im too busy to be able to get one and the results in time and doubt i can afford it at the moment if my gp refuses to let me do one. Is there a way to skip the test this month? I still need my prescription and i havnt had any concerning symptoms so i think i would be good to do the test next time i asks.

Haven’t received my prescriptions?

Paper prescriptions sent to Ireland. They were both issued over a month ago and I still haven’t received either. This hasn’t happened before. Has anyone had this issue and what can I do about it??? I don’t have €80 for a doctor consult from them

Charged twice

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone else was being charged their monthly subscription charge twice? It's been happening to me for the last while where ggp will charge me twice in the one day for my monthly subscription. They take a second £30 from me about 2 hours after they take the initial £30. I get 2 invoices from them as well.

Has anyone else dealt with this and if so is there a way to fix this?

leuprorelin acetate syringe?

My wife is receiving her testosterone blockers soon from GenderGP. It's listed as 'leuprorelin acetate 11.25mg vial'. She thought she was being sent syringes, but just had an email asking if she had ordered her own ones. There is nothing on their page etc saying what ones she needs. Any advice?

Looking for ways to contact GenderGP

My next dose of T is due this coming Friday (22nd May) but my prescription isn't due to hit my email till 31st May. My dose frequency got adjusted so I'm assuming that's it. I spoke to the chatbot and it kept telling me to resend my prescription on my hub but I haven't got that option, I got it sent to a real person but it can take them up to a week to respond so Im looking for ways to contact GenderGP without paying as I don't need a consultation just my prescription sent to me. Any help would be appreciated

Blood test confusion

Hiya I have a couple essential blood tests (estradol and testosterone) overdue and I’m trying to book them but I’m not sure how I go about it, I’ve found two separate things I can buy. I’ve found a 20£ blood test referral letter under the extras section and I’ve found the two blood tests I need (77£ together) but I’m not sure if I need to get the letter and then buy the tests or just go straight to buying the test.
I want to up my dose the next time I order my medication so I need to do these test anyway and I’m just confused how I go about it. Any help or advice is appreciated as always 💚

Hi I've tried looking for answers for these without much success so I thought here may help please

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

What’s next?

So I have payed for everything, completed the ID check, completed the consent thing. Now what?

Do I need to do a blood test before they send my prescription? Or do I just wait?
I went with the referral code option, will they send my referral code to my email?

Any information is much appreciated. Thank you!

why has this changed?

why has my prescription gone down? my testosterone levels after my blood test was 31.8 which i was told was normal but higher end of normal. Why has gendergp actually cut my dose IN HALF??? If my levels were normal.

Wtf any help appreciated.

Thanks

GGP prescribed ampules for my dose but I would have to throw away half an ampule, normal?

Hi I recently had my dose lowered to 0.5ml of enathanate because of high T.

However, they prescribed ampules which only come in 1ml, I emailed the pharmacy who told me I cannot leave the bottle open for 3 weeks between doses so I'd be throwing away half an ampule of medication. Is this normal? Will i just have to deal with it and throw it away? Its very expensive to do that lol. I have sent an email to GGP about it.

How do I get my prescription back to every 14 days

My prescription was every 14 days I submitted my blood test results and ggp have changed it to every 18 days, but now I’ve started my period on the day what would’ve been the 14th

So obviously I want to go back to the dose where I had no period. How do I do this?

Gendergp haven't sent the link for my payment in time so my next leuprorelin (prostap) dose will be overdue. It's meant to be every 12 weeks. How long after 12 weeks will it still be effective? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks in advance for any help.
