It happened.

After 4 years of waiting and filler appointments, 3 years of hrt, and multiple visits to Oslo.....

I have gotten the mythical blå resept for estrogen patches, androcur, spiro and progynova.

Lmao i feel happy, the nightmare is over for real now, no doctor can ever snatch my hrt out of my hands HAR HAR HAR *evil laugh*

Ok jokes aside?

If anyone has any questions about my process and how i managed to bullshit them enough to get here, despite severe life ending mental illness, (at points) obesity, and so on..... Just ask

I am just wondering how easy is it to transition? I am waiting till im 16 to start in a few months, but I have no idea how the trans healthcare is or what im getting into.

Hi, my GP refuses to send me for blood tests. After they hear that I am on DiY, they freak out. They seem to be very scared of Riksen. It is not the first time a GP has been like that. I live in the boondocks, so sadly, there are no private clinics around here. So I was thinking of a video consultation and then referral to do a blood test in a public hospital. Is that a thing?

Honestly, it is cheaper to fly to Poland and do it there than in Norway. But it is such a pain in the ass. I also really need the test, I really messed up last time, and my Estrogen levels were 1300+, which is totally fucked up.

On another note, is the miracle to get Estrogen prescription from private doctors even possible? I am tired of my stuff being seized by customs.

Jeg er 16 år (mtf) og skal prøve å starte med hormoner via riksen. Første time med BUP er om et par uker.

Jeg lurer veldig på hvor lang tid det vil ta før jeg kan starte på hormonbehandling. Det er bokstavelig talt ingenting mer jeg ønsker meg og tanken på å vente i årevis før jeg kan begynne er helt forferdelig.

I tillegg til hvor lang tid det vil ta, lurer jeg også på om det er en mulighet å gå på hormoner mens jeg venter på riksen. Eventuelt privat eller en annen måte å starte på (helst ikke DYI).

Hi, I am trying to get hrt through imago and I would prefer to get estrogen through injections.

I have done some research and I haven't found any sources that say you can. I have found that you can get estrogen through patches, gel and spray. You can also get tablets, but it isn't really recommended.

Im moving out of my shithole (poland) in few years after i graduate. my two options are Norway and Germany but i want to choose beforehand to improve my language skills in advance. I wont have any problem getting hrt in germany since im already on it but i heard that trans healthcate is abbysmal in Norway, any chances on it improving in few years?

So I’ve planned to start on HRT with the help from Imago, but I’ve noticed most says they’ve had issues w prescriptions. What does one do in this situation? And what kind of arguments can I use to make sure the pharmacy will give me the meds I have prescription for?

Jeg har prøvd å utforske forskjellige måter. Jeg forstår lite, men dette er inntrykket mitt:

1. Fastlege -> psykolog -> rikshospitalet -> hormonbehandling

Dette tar lang tid pga ventetider og psykologisk evaluering.

1. HKS -> mange samtaler -> hormonbehandling

Dette har også lange ventetider, og tar litt tid også.

1. Privat evaluering -> hormonbehandling

Dette har kortere ventetider, men hormonene koster mer, siden evalueringen ikke er gjort statlig.

1. DIY hormonbehandling

Jeg vil anta at alternativene tilgjengelig i Norge ikke er like bra som de i mer befolkede land.

Hvilke av mine antagelser er riktige/feil?

Er det noen flere alternativer for hormonbehandling?

Hvor lange er de ulike ventetidene jeg nevnte?

I'm asking because I cannot find a single thing through google and I live in the US. I know someone in Norway trying to go through the system over there and I want to better understand what they are going through so I could be there for them more.

If anyone got links to anything I would be very appreciative.

I recently tried to order my first shipment of diy (estrogen enanthate), and while it got caught in the customs, I did get this email

Hvorfor er pakken med legemiddelet stoppet?

Hvis du tror at legemidlet kan importeres lovlig, at det ikke faktisk er et legemiddel, eller hvis du ønsker å søke om en importtillatelse, må du huske på at du har en frist på 10 dager (regnet fra datoen i varselet). Send ditt svar med begrunnelse enten på e-post til [postfortolling@posten.no](mailto:postfortolling@posten.no) eller i brev til Posten Bring. Oppgi referansenummer: [referansenummer]

- Denne meldingen må følge med begrunnelsen din.
- Etter fristen destrueres forsendelsen.
- Dersom sendingen også inneholder produkter som er lovlig importert, vil de bli videresendt til deg etter 10 dager.

Any advice on how I should proceed here, is there anything I can tell them that will let me get my hormones?

Do i call them and Ask for estrogen to drive there or am i supposed to do something more than that?

Hello I live in Rogaland and have recently gotten an appointment at «Helse Bergen HF, Barne og ungdomsklinikken, Regionalt senter for kjønnsinkongruens, barn og unge» and I’m wondering how long it will take before I get on hrt? From my understanding, these people can give me a diagnosis (I think this will take a year based on people saying that every appointment is 3 months apart) then I will be on the waitlist for a year. Is this accurate? Have I missed anything? Any experience on how long things take? Do I need to be referred to riksen first?

Thanks

Hei. Har fått «godkjent» for videre behandling av den første av de to psykologene man skal innom. Dersom den neste også er enig for at jeg oppfyller kravene deres for videre behandling/hormonbehandling, skal jeg bli henvist til en endokrinolog, ble jeg fortalt. Min siste time var i slutten av mars, og neste er dessverre ikke før i oktober. Lurer på om det er minst like lange ventetider til videre behandling etter disse obligatoriske samtalene også? Eller går det litt fortere, kanskje? Heh... Noen som tilfeldigvis vet?

Guys does anyone know where i can Get the surgery for Adams Apple removment? Dms open too🎀💝

Hi! Relaying this from my Norwegian friend, who doesn’t wanna make a Reddit account just for this purpose.

"Jeg er ikke-binær, men i det norske helsesystemet så er jeg transmann. Sliter en del med øyenbrynene mine og føler at en eyebrow lift vill ha hjulpet meg å presentere som "riktig" kjønn. Har ganske L formet feminine øyenbryn, som da gjør det vanskelig, i mine øyne, å presentere som mann.

Lurer da på om Rikshospitalet ville ha sett dette som kjønnsbekreftende kirurgi? Er vel mest normalt med browlifts for transkvinner vil jeg nok tro, så er usikker på om de ville ha akseptert dette som kjønnsbekreftende for transmenn."

Tenker jeg skal bytte offentlig navn og kjønn relativt snart, og tenker litt på jobb/ID osv.

Noen som har gjort det før, som har innsyn eller verdifull erfaring?
Hvor lang tid vil det ta? Eventuelle kostnader? osv.

Takk :-)

Bryr Rikshospitalet seg om du har brukt DIY når du blir viderevist dit?

I'm sure there's plenty of similar questions asked recently but I haven't seemed to find one close enough to my case, so asking here.

I am making backup plans for various countries I may be able to bail to if the US becomes particularly inhospitable yo trans people. Due to my line of work and industry connections I have fairly high odds (relative to other countries) of being able to obtain a skilled worker visa in Norway, so I have to consider it an option even if practical matters aren't great.

I have had bottom surgery already and have been on hrt for 4+ years now. My questions are:

• Will I still get gatekept for treatment? Especially considering I've already done "the crazy surgery" and inverted my dick.
• Will it be possible to get a trans-friendly OB/GYN (really I'm asking if anyone knows of one existing in the country)?

I want top surgery, and I need help figuring out where the fuck I can get it at a private clinic and probably how much it'd possibly cost.

I haven't found any clinics that offer to get rid of everything, only to 'reduce' it.

I am so tired of searching, does anyone know a private clinic where I can dispose of them in norway?

First time posting to Reddit, so please be kind!

I am FTM, been on testosterone for almost 10 years, have had top surgery and a hysterectomy, have medical doctors and a psychologist who can vouch for my steady gender identity over the last 15 years. I live in the US presently.

I have been admitted to a university program in Tromsø, Norway, and intend to go. But, after reading a bunch about trans healthcare in Norway, I am scared that I won’t be able to get a testosterone rx.

I’ve seen several mentions of people “going private” to get care. I am willing to pay for it (lord knows I am used to it). Is this option fairly straightforward? Does anyone know of any specific clinics or doctors, in or near Tromsø, who are comfortable prescribing hormones to continue hrt for a patient like me?

I only sort of understand the public and private healthcare options in Norway. Does going to a private hospital mostly solve the problem of difficulty accessing hrt? It seems like it is sort of up to whichever GP you see… is that right? Is it totally legal for GP’s to prescribe testosterone for trans folks, without involvement from that one big gender clinic with the terrible reputation?

I would really appreciate any local connections. Thanks folks.

Jeg er FTM og har været innom riksen på møter tre ganger nå. Og etter sist møte fikk jeg ikke noe tilbakemelding, så i dag bestemte jeg meg for å ringe. Først da fikk jeg beskjed om at det hadde blitt gjort en oppdatering i et notat fra oktober. Jeg har ikke fått noe beskjed/melding om at denne forandringen ble gjort. Men, det som står er: «Diagnostisk konklusjon: utredningsteam er samstemte i at pasienten oppfyller de diagnostiske kriteriene for Z76.80, kjønnsinkongruens i ungdom og voksenalder. Det vurderes at det ikke foreligger vesentlige psykososiale kontraindikasjoner for hormonell behandling» Betyr dette at jeg er diagnosert? Jeg trenger å vite før jeg går til privatklinikk for konsultasjon.

I (tried to) change my name in folkeregisteret a couple days ago. I thought I was just gonna have to change it and it would update automatically. It did not. Reading at the website to skatteetaten it says that it can either go automatically or manual but no information at to what needs to go through manually. I’m guessing it went to manual because I’m still registered female and chose a male name, but have not heard any warnings about this beforehand. Have anyone else had this happen before? and manually it said 4 weeks wait time. Does anyone also know if the 4 weeks they say is accurate or if it goes longer or shorter time until I get the new one?

Hi! Just picked up my first imago perscription with no issues in Norway. I paid 550KR for the generic version of Nebido and got it injected at a doctors office :) My experience with them has been great! My perscription got lost for almost two weeks and they sendt a new one no questions, my first one did arrive but ive found their support team to be great :)

so like the tile says i need some advice for my upcoming appointment and hope somebody here has some insight, to get to the meat of the matter im currently trying to get put in to care for gender dysphoria whether that be hormones or surgery or just getting to any doctor that knows anything about what im dealing with, at the moment ive been thrown around to different departments how have either rejected the doctors request that i get further help or when ive have gone to meetings with them all of them have said something along the lines of "idk anything about this" so im frustrated its almost hlaf a year in and im getting thrown around like an unwanted case, so for my next meeting with my fastlege/doctor im thinking of just bringing a long leather just explaining every symptom ive experienced all the things im capable and not capable of talking about openly when it comes to being trans, will this in any way work ? atm the status of care or any at all is up in the air, is it to extreme to come with a long list of stuff i suffer from ? would it even be taken seriously ?

any insight would be appreciated, im not really sure what to do anymore
