where i live you need 3 months of therapy to get your letter and then its like a month afterwards with setting up appts and getting the prescription

I think it depends on the therapist. Mine gave me my letter almost right away, but finding a doctor, getting into their office, and doing the initial blood work took a few more months.

Depends on where you are. WPATH standards of care is that you need at least 3 months of therapy to get your T letter. Some places are consent based and you don't need a letter at all. Then it depends how long in advance places book appointments. Back home, it was a 3 month wait. Where I am now, I had an appt 1 week later, and had my first shot a week after that

It depends on the therapist. I've heard anywhere from three months to a year. I went to an informed consent clinic and skipped the whole therapist thing.

With an informed consent clinic it can take as little as a week.

Think it might possibly depend on where/when you go for it. Not sure. Sorry I'm not at all helpful. ><

Mine was pretty quick because of informed consent...and I was well aware of what I wanted.
