Saw the doctor and I’ve got my prescription
Saw the doctor and gave him my letters from notts and explained that I needed norethisterone too. We spoke in english thank god and he was willing to prescribe everything but the difficulty was that I didn’t know the german names of the drugs I take; they don’t have sustanon or norethisterone in germany.
We worked out that sustanon is “testoviron” and I’m now on the german equivalent of cerazette called “desogestrel”. To find that one out I had to go downstairs to the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist ti find its name.
I had to pay a €5 contribution for the T which was fine because the amount you pay is between €5-10, but the desogestrel was €13.50. I asked why and it turns out it’s not covered by my EHIC card because I’m a man. Which is pretty transphobic but I’m sure it’s just a hole in the system no one thought to fill in
My employer has put me on their insurance and it’s possible that will cover it, so now I’m just waiting for the details about that to come in the post so I can find out. So all in all it’s gone okay, apart from me having to spend €18.50, but I’m just glad I’ve got what I need
