Imago or GenderGP? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I'm about to begin HRT and since I am not able to get that through my country's public healthcare, it'll have to be either DIY, or something like GenderGP or Imago.

I'm uncomfortable with Imago being a US company, but if it otherwise makes much more sense than GenderGP, that might not be an unsurmountable issue.
There has been talk that neither of those give as much support, or as good quality support, as they once maybe did. For example somebody actually reading the laboratory results and possibly recommending changing a substance or dose if so required would be would be a nice thing. Being middle-aged and having had relatives die at around my age because of blood clots, I know that at least I should choose some other ways than injections for taking the estradiol. An ability to talk with a specialist about this kind of stuff would be appreciated.

So, what's the practical difference between Imago and GenderGP? Also, is there also a third one?

The most important service would of course be the ability to get an EU prescription through them so that I can go to a local pharmacy and buy the hormones and blockers there.

GGP was apparently using AI to analyse their blood tests and I think they said they couldn't talk to humans at all. From what I hear GGP is basically an expensive AI driven prescription farm with no humans to talk to (this is second hand info though so I'm no authority).

Cyro = androcur yes

This seems to make it clear that GGP is not an option, then.

I don't like the risk of my healthcare data leaking to a trans-hostile country such as USA, but since I wouldn't dare to travel there anyway, it is extremely unlikely to really affect me in any way. Imago seems like the way to go, then.

I might be able to get you an invite to an unofficial imago discord server so you can get a vibe check on the community. Let me know if that is something you'd like, otherwise good luck and see you in there eventually I hope.
