Here in the UK we go through the national health service, using a local centre for transitioning, to whom I was referred in February 2016. After waiting until August 2017 to eventually even see a first therapist, I'm now onto my 4th person who is now my point of reference with them, with I am told a queue of at least another year before i get to see the medic, who can then refer me to a 2nd opinion medic. I'm just lucky my local doctor is informed and trained to supervise my own hrt.

So I guess I'm wondering if I'm just unucky in this, or if this is a common experience?

actually maybe this thread could be titled "how many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb?"

Too many!!!!!, and at our costs whether paid directly by us or from the government, which we support with our taxes. I wish you the best in your long wait to get the services you need.

I only ever dealt with 2 therapists, my main one and the second opinion. The principle therapist was also qualified to prescribe and monitor the hormone levels.
