Help with HRT thru Uro!

[muscles911]

Went to Urologist about a month ago. Test levels were low but within normal range, 325. Have usual sym, fog, no libido, joints ache, weak erection, etc. He wrote a script for Androgel but just learned because I am within NOrm limits insurance refused to cover. I called doc and have another appointment with Nurse prac (doc is on vaca). Gonna suggest test cyp injects as it is under $100 for 10ml/200mg. I will gladly pay out of pocket but not the $400 they want to shitty androgel.

Any suggestions?

I know how you feel. I went to my Uro with the same symptoms, Test level was 311. He put me on Test E 100mg a week. It wasn't enough, then he upped it to 150 mg a week, that was too much, so I settled on 125 mg a week. I did this for nearly a year. Then I started feeling like crap. What I found out is that I then had high Estrogen from the test converting. I went to another Doc and he put me on Arimidex. it took a couple of months but I finally got my wood back. What works for me is the following:
125mg test E a week
1.25-1.5mg Arimidex a week split up.

DO NOT DO Test without regularly checking your E2 levels and using an Anti-E if needed.

Thanks for the reply. Does your insurance cover any of that? Does he let u pin yourself?

TRT for one year, test levels start 232, now 1400 total, feel great, got my life back! Test levels for their "normal range" are relative to the tested subjects, and who were they?! Probably someone already sick! Also levels that are suitable for some are not optimum for others! I wouldn't screw with the gel... shots or implants.. I do both... self shots is not bad at all...I have implants ($150 per month) but I use test e for increasing my levels as I see fit... Most insurance does not cover this therapy... according to insurance companies you should shut up and die.... miserably! ha screw that! oh I am 52...

yeah stick with injections cheaper safer and stable levels specially if done twice a week, but they have to let u pin urself of course.
