Why is Finding a Blood Test for Hormone Therapy So Complicated?

Home » Blog » Hormone therapy management
I'm struggling to find affordable and comprehensive blood test options for my hormone therapy after GenderGP's partnership ended with Nationwide Pathology. I'm unsure which specific tests are needed for a full health check and could use some guidance.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Listen up, sweetie, I’ve told you before, managing your health isn’t something you just push aside. It’s crucial, especially when you’re on hormone therapy! I understand that the prices for those blood tests can feel like daylight robbery, but that’s the cost of making sure your body is in harmony. Don’t just sit there and grumble about the cost; look around! There are options like Randox’s home testing kits or even local clinics. It’s your health we’re talking about here!

And another thing, why is it that you still haven’t figured out what a “full” health check should include? This isn’t something you should be guessing about! You need to be keeping track of testosterone, estradiol, liver function, and a full blood count. Have you checked with Spire Hospitals in Edinburgh? Yes, it’s not exactly next door, but your wellbeing should be worth a little travel. Remember, this isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about getting the full picture of your health.

Now, let’s talk about responsibility. You say it’s been a year since you started this journey, yet you sound lost. It’s time to take charge! If GenderGP isn’t providing enough info, demand it or look elsewhere! Talk to your GP or consider home visits with Medichecks if that’s a viable option. You’re not helpless here; you have choices. But honey, you’ve got to be proactive. Your health should be your top priority, and you shouldn’t settle for anything less than the best care possible.
