Seriously: Where the hell do people get HRT in like 3 months or so? Here it takes around 10-12 months waiting on a list to get HRT.

I'd assume it depends on where you live but here it took me a month and half for a first appointment with a GP, 3 months to go to a hospital for a fertility preservation (idk if that's the word in English) and then 2 weeks later I got my gel :3

From what I heard everyone suggests you get on the waiting list, before its usually longer then getting a therapist (usually getting into therapy takes about 6 months or longer)

[–] TwilightNobody@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh yeah having to deal with a therapist will take longer for sure. It's thankfully not required here anymore but it used to be the case

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Here its still needed, but for what I hear its the waaiting time to get an appointment that makes the whole process so long.
