Hello everyone
First time posting, although I've been lurking here and avidly reading for a couple of months and educating myself as much as possible.
I'm looking for any personal recommendations for private clinics/specialists in London, especially for those of you who have self-referred from your GP to private. I've obviously already gone through the "Find a BMS SPecialist" section to narrow down my selection but your own experiences would be most helpful. I'm hoping to be able to get testosterone gel prescribed.
Some back story:
I was put onto Femoston in February 2018 (originally Femoston 1, then 3 months later upped to Femoston 2) due to brain fog, insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, hair loss... literally the full list! Cheers, body!

It had taken me about 5 years of suffering this before realising/admitting that it was perimenopause, and my blood tests then subsequently came back as FSH 2.3 and TSH 0.3
HRT has helped tremendously but it has absolutely done nothing for my libido.
I recently had a coil fitted - NOT the Mirena as they couldn't get it in (due to my wonky cervix, apparently and the flexible delivery system the Mirena uses) but the Kyleena (so a MUCH lower dosage of progesterone than the mirena). On seeing my new GP, she also prescribed Vagifem tablets, as well as continuing with my Femoston 2, and I asked about testosterone and she categorically said that she is not allowed to prescribe it in this particular practice but she would strongly recommend I go to a meno clinic and see if I can get it prescribed.
