i went through planned parenthood and got it the next day but they’re so expensive, i recommend going through thrive and giving them a call if you’re close to huntsville at all

I was lucky enough to be 16 when I first started T through Children’s of Alabama in Birmingham. Unfortunately, my time with them was very brief as they began placing bans on Gender affirming care for youth. I was literally one shot in when I found out they could no longer fill my prescription. Despite this, Children’s helped connect me to a teledoc through QMed. For our appointments, I have to be in a state without laws against minors receiving gender affirming care (Arkansas is closest for me) and then my doc just sends in a mail in prescription to my local pharmacy (Walmart). When I first started I had to go to Arkansas every 6 months but now I only have to go once a year! I’m nearly 19 now so I’m excited to see HRT become more accessible!

I tried to get in with local doctor's offices that offered HRT services, but all of them were booked out. Ultimately, I booked an appointment with the closest Planned Parenthood to me in TN. It's about a 3 hour drive one way, but it's super easy to get an appointment, it's inexpensive, and they're so nice and helpful!

I turned 18 and went to UAB, they referenced me to a rly good doctor at Emory in Georgia. I’m 19 now but drive there every 3-6 months for my check ups and stuff. I could transfer my stuff to UAB now since I’m 19 and a legal adult in Alabama but I prefer to keep it there bc it feels more secure yk? Dm me if you need any names!

If you live near Birmingham or close to state line for GA or TN I do all of my hrt through QMED and my insurance covers all of it, its all online unless you attend the pop up clinics in Birmingham then you do everything there. You just have to be able to say youre in a state the provider is licensed in during your video appointments. If your insurance doesn't cover however I've heard some people say it gets pricey fast but theyre extremely nice and its informed consent based so you dont need a million therapist letters!

If you’re transmasc Alabama has its own dea agency- so it’s not possible to get testosterone through services like plume etc. that being said- UAB was life changing. And easy! There’s a pretty big waitlist but it’s so incredibly worth it.

Plume is great, it's an online HRT provider that can give u letters of recommendation for HRT, surgery, etc. & even matches u with a doctor who has a license to practice med in Bama who can prescribe u HRT! it is a $99 dollar monthly subscription fee, however, but if u have health insurance it should cover it🤠

For me it took a while. I don’t want that to scare you because it would have made me give up if I told myself when I was in your position. Some things to do to help is to get your blood levels checked. Tell your doctor without your family present that you would like to get your blood checked because you want to go on t in the future. What this does is eliminate any autoimmune diseases that may pop up. Then go ahead and decide where your are going to go. Do your research and call them and ask what they would tell you if you could get T. When/if you have a job go ahead and start saving money as well as trying to figure out what insurance you’ll have and when. It’s worth the wait. I am 22 and I am still sorta not on it. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, and couldn’t go on it for two years and then they put me on the gel which wasn’t good for me. But I think I have everything figured out now and I think it’ll be okay. But even with me having to wait it does get better.

I live in north Alabama, thankfully it was pretty easy to get it. Went to my hrt doctor and got my T by that afternoon

charrbones :
it depends. i had a hard time and eventually couldn't afford it anymore, but i used plume and had issues both with plume and getting local pharms to fill the rxs from plume. my bestie went through thrive as an established patient and has had no issue, even though we went to the same pharmacy. i've heard uab is good but i'm in north al so that was too far to go.

6 years ago it was really easy for me in Dothan but the same doctor refuses to do it now. I had an allergic reaction and had to stop the shots. I have... gone back in the closet for the time being.. but there is always time.

i'm ftm and go through thrive in huntsville! i used to go through uab but their scheduling staff is lowkey ass and they no-call no-showed me once (they were out of office for my originally scheduled date; i got confirmation texts and everything the week prior but nothing saying they rescheduled.) and their wait times for appointments is insanely long (i called in june to get my first appointment, the soonest appointment was in march of the following year. with thrive, i had maybe 2 months before my first appointment and they've got sliding scale payment options if you don't have insurance/if your insurance doesn't cover/if you don't want to use insurance (sometimes for parental reasons).

I got it through my college but it was informed consent and easy peasy, I would've had it that day if insurance didn't take about a week to get back to me!! I hope you have an easy time and get your hormones soon, genuinely changed my life ❤️❤️

I’m 18, I live in the Huntsville area. You can’t get it in Alabama until you’re 19. I drove to Nashville to get it because I couldn’t wait another year to get it

I’ve been waiting for my HRTs for a year and they say it’s on back order and I’m just a middle aged menopausal woman.
