I'm starting college in another month and my university covers 80% of the HRT cost so I figured it's as good of a time as any to try and get my letter. I'm trying to plan it all out so I'll be in school for the school counselor to try and help me with getting my letter but I'm unsure as to how long it usually takes. I know it's quite a while for most people, and I certainly don't have hopes of getting it this year but I'd like to know what all of your (Testosterone-taking) experiences were.
It'd be a good question to ask your school's counseling dept. Everywhere seems to be slightly different.
