Members can request an increase in their medication dosages if they feel that their levels are low or that their transition is not progressing quickly enough. If you would like to request an increase, please provide us with up-to-date blood test results when submitting your Treatment Recommendation form.
If your results confirm that your hormone levels are within the normal range, then an increase will be recommended on your Treatment Recommendation, if this is what you have requested.

If you’re taking spironolactone, you’ll need an intravenous blood sample. You can get this through an online blood test service of your choosing, through your GP if they’re willing to help, or at a private clinic/hospital.
If you need a Blood Test Referral Letter to advise your GP or healthcare provider, you can purchase one through the Treatment Recommendation form for £20. The letter explains why you need blood tests and which ones you’ll need to get (read more here: Obtaining Letters and Reports).
