Hi all

well since I am self meddling on very low hrt patches I thought it be sensible too approach local Gp and ask for
a blood panel to include

liver, diabetes, prostate , clotting check etc ,

any others too ask for ?

but also want to know

t level and e level

but for the life of me cannot think of a reason why I would wish to know the last 2 ?

without divulging TG status

any ideas folks ?

That almost reads like you want your Blood test results to do the `coming out` for you.
go in all innocent, get your tests done, get called back because of an "anomaly" and be asked "is there anything you want to tell me?"

Doctors are Honor bound not to divulge ANY information about this sort of thing anyway, so telling them won`t have any effect on your relationship with them.
Secondly, if you do tell your Doc, that`s it, there`s nothing more to it, they can`t Make you transition or do anything beyond that, and to be honest it`s a bit of tough luck if you Did you want to go further, there`s 2.5 year waiting list just to get Seen at a GIC! that`s Long before you even See a legit Hormone LOL.

just telling them the truth won`t change a thing, but it Will get you your blood tests and any other related blood tests that they can`t think of. xx
