Do i need a TRT doctor if i can get testosterone for free??

[freefallin]

So from your replies i understand the only reason one would go to a TRT doctor is for financial and legality reasons....right? Well, cost is no issue cz like i said, i can get gear (specifically test) for free...at least for 2 years. After that i could just get it from the pharmacy. Where i am, it's a non-prescription drug and really cheap.

I thought that there where "medical" reasons that one would seek an endocrinologist or a urologist for TRT. But i see now, if you have experience with aas AND you get regular blood work done AND aas is legal where you are AND it's free....then there is absolutely no need for a TRT doctor....am i right?

How do you think you will get test for free?

Yes, you are correct. And first and formost get blood work done. That tells you what you need to look like when your done messing with your horomones, or just how much test you need so you don't mess up your lippids.
Good luck and enjoy.
Dont forget the ai's for the test and the dht blockers for the tren.

That sounds like an awesome job perk. Where can I get an application. I wish my job did that.

Sorry mixed you up with another thread.
But don't forget to blood work.

OK...blood work....i've been searching and asking for days now trying to figure out what blood tests to do but i can't get an answer. The following is the standard recommended blood test:

Total Testosterone
Bioavailable Testosterone
Free Testosterone (if Bioavailable T is not available)
DHT
Estradiol
LH
FSH
Prolactin
Cortisol
Thyroid Panel
CBC
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Lipid Profile
IGF-1

What i would like to know is...which of the above is "not necessary" to take to determine the cause of low test? Therefore, what are the "important" tests to do or which blood tests are irrelevant to TRT?

So thru blood work ive discovered that i got low testosterone. I was going to go to a TRT doctor (urologist) but then i figured why go through the hassle of finding a doctor that will treat me if i could just treat myself for free? I'm thinking once i determine the right dosage, i will treat myself and do blood work every 3 months to make sure everything is alright. I mean, isn’t that what the TRT doctor would do anyway?!

What do you guys think? Besides insurance and getting prescribed-gear, what really is the reason for going thru this with a TRT doctor? Thoughts?

It could be done either way. Keeping an eye on blood work is the responsible thing to do too if you act on your own.

this is why you'd probably be safer and healthier with a dr. there is a cascade or domino effect that usually happens with shifts in the endocrine system. nothing remains constant because nothing is taking place in a vacuum. then there is the self medicating factor that could affect insurance coverage if they find out what you're doing. its a risk, albeit a small one.

also, most insurance companies won't run that panel of testing quarterly just because you ask. thats not a cheap out of pocket panel. just things to mull over.

No disrespect but i'd apreciate English there buddy .

Insurance is not an issue for this case.

Again...insurance not an issue.


Still left with the same question...unfortunately.
