    Something like Medichecks is the easiest way for sex hormone blood tests. They mail you a thing, you do the test yourself (finger prick kit) and mail it back - only problem is it costs a small fortune as of late and their kits are more oriented towards cis people. Can be a bit inaccurate but usually okay unless there’s user error (dirty hands or contamination).

    Alternatively if the GP is trans-supportive they may arrange hormonal blood tests for you. There are also LGBT-oriented sexual health clinics (I think only 2 in the country atm) that will do hormonal blood tests for trans people, but they don’t interpret them.
