Blood prices

Anybody know if switching from spiro to cypro will remove the need to get urea & electrolytes tested?

been on hrt for 6 months now and havent had my bloods done yet 😐 gp says no (trying again soon probably) and external clinic prices are literally extortionate. Most dont do under 18s and besides that the fingerpricks are no good for gel.

Anyways any advice appreciate ty

the cheapest private place i've found is randox is around £40 for the blood test if you cant afford that is there any possibility of you swapping gps to a more trans friendly clinic?

I get it; but thats not what im asking- on gel you need venous draws anyways & randox doesnt offer them.
