good news. :)

went to the doctor last night and we had a long talk about my insurance issues and my request to go with the shots instead of the Androgel (and I had a list of compounding pharms for plan c). She agreed to put me on 200mg of test cyp per week done in twice weekly injections and after 6 weeks give me blood work to see how that is working with me.

I also relayed to her the concerns about estrogen with the injections and gave her info on Arimidex and how that could be dosed. And she is willing to work with me on this because of my concerns.

to be honest, I didn't expect her to be so receptive to this but she was. I gave her the list of blood work that I felt would be the best to test for and when my next bloodwork happens, it will be done...

its a HUGE load lifted off my shoulders now that I don't have to worry about fighting with my doc over the best course of action for TRT.

Great news. The number of men and women on some form of HRT will be growing as the population ages.

not just that lion, but people are starting to realize that depression and lack of energy aren't always solved with anti-depressants but with compensating for your lost hormones.

overpriced isn't the word....

about 600 a month without a prescription for the dosage I was on.

that is absolute insanity, testosterone itself is cheap, gotta love those patented drugs...

Awesome!! Reading that just motivated me to get a new doctor. My current one is not receptive to TRT.

a lot of docs aren't...

lucky for me the first one I went to is this one.

had no clue I had test issues until I requested bloodwork from her and when it came back low she retested me to be sure and then put me on Androgel to start.
