We do not charge extra for providing a private prescription during your appointment, but the actual cost of the medication is payable separately to our partner pharmacy. 
  
We can send your prescription to a remote pharmacy that will get in touch with you to arrange payment and delivery.  Some women ask their NHS GP to issue the prescription instead – this is up to the individual GP.  

Sometimes we recommend blood tests to support your care – this could be to look at hormone levels, check your general health, or assess suitability for specific treatments.  
  
Blood tests aren’t usually necessary for diagnosing menopause. However, they may be useful for understanding your overall health or planning treatment and are an essential part of safely prescribing and monitoring testosterone replacement.  

  
As we’re a remote service, blood tests are arranged at a partner clinic near you 

Once your blood test results are back, they’ll be reviewed by one of our clinicians. You’ll receive an email with:  
– Your test results  
– A summary of what they mean  
– Any next steps, such as changes to your plan or a prescription  
  
We aim to keep the process clear and personal, so you understand exactly what’s happening.

Yes, we can prescribe testosterone when it’s appropriate – usually for women who are already on HRT but still experiencing low energy or libido.  
  
We do require regular monitoring to prescribe it safely. This includes blood tests at 3 months, 6 months, then every 12 months once stable. We’ll help you stay on track with this.  

They might – but it’s up to them. We’re a private service and don’t have direct links to NHS practices. Some GPs are happy to continue treatment based on our recommendations; others may not. We always give you a copy of your treatment plan to share if you wish.  

If you need follow-up advice, have questions about medication, or want to discuss new symptoms, we offer shorter review and phone appointments. These are available to existing patients for an additional fee and are a good way to keep things on track without needing a full consultation.  

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) 

HRT can be life-changing in reducing hot flushes, brain fog, mood changes, sleep issues, and more. Some women notice improvements within a few weeks, while for others it can take a few months to feel the full benefit. 

It’s also common to experience some early side effects as your body adjusts, such as breast tenderness, bloating, or mild bleeding – these often settle on their own. 

Testosterone 

We prescribe testosterone to women who remain fatigued or have a low sex drive despite being on HRT. 

This treatment is monitored closely with blood tests. We’ll check your levels at 3 months, then yearly once stable, to ensure safety and effectiveness. It can take several months to notice changes in energy, mood, or libido.
