Most docs won't get you over 700... my endo said that's where prostate problems begin.... I tweak my results by slacking off trt prior to labs.... and I get my adex and hcg elsewhere
cost mostly
Yeah that is what I thought.. I would do the same thing you are
A bottle of testosterone cypionate costs $100 full price at the pharmacy,,, even at 200mg a week, which is almost double the normal trt dosage, it'll last you 10 weeks
my level has come in as high as 2200 day after injection, and my doctor hasn't changed it. Set to 150mg/wk
Sams club/Walmart sells 10ml vials for around $70. At normal TRT dosing, thats around 3 months worth, or $25ish a month.
Lol,, I did say most and not all.... you're supposed to get checked day before, not after your injection .... the idea is to have your lowest point within a normal range ....
my low morning of day of injection is around 850-900, which he doesn't mind so long as PSA stays stable.
You're lucky,,, my Endocrinologist is really good, but a bit conservative,,, I lucked out though,, the pharmacy gives me a full 10ml bottle of test cyp a month, even though I'm only prescribed 125mg a week....all I do is not dose for a week and a half before labs to keep my levels in range of her expectations then I can cruise at 300mg a week and blast at 600......
After making the switch to test cyp, I can't imagine why anyone would use a gel.... especially since i don't have to worry about my girl growing hair on her chest and my nine year old getting his growth stunted
well, with the androgel 1.62% now you can apply in a good bit smaller area. the gels give your body a higher DHT conversion rate (injectible converts to DHT at a lower rate than natural, still not sure the reason) and much more normal through the day fluctuations of testosterone level. If you look at data, average young man with a testosterone of 800 at waking up is down below 600 by 3 in the afternoon. It could be significantly lower by bedtime, the studies were grouped oddly so its hard to really get anything super accurate from it (they tested during 4 hour blocks rather than every hour per person). I would have liked to have tried that for a bit, just to see if it felt any better.
no, 13 1ml vials. So each one I draw 3/4 ml out of then toss whats left.
What a waste,,, why wouldn't you just use it?
well, if you look at it, if I religiously drew remaining out, every 3 months i'd end up with 3 extra ml, so accumulating enough to do a serious blast would take forever. And running at 200mg/week ends up with my hematocrit rising above top of normal which my doctors don't like, as that was what I was doing at first.
Even if it isn't normally covered you can most likely get it covered. I switched insurance and they didn't cover any form of test. I had my doctor fax a "prior authorization" form to my insurance and got it approved the next day. $10 for 200mg/ml test cyp 10ml vial a month.
The female hormone panel covers everything you need.... they won't care that you have a penis,,, lol
^this
They are super expensive,,, privatemdlabs.com is a much better bargain
Is you script for more than 100mg a week?
10 ml a month almost equals 500mg a week,, the maximum allowed by law.... seriously doubt any normal doctor will prescribe that much
a dr can legally give you 500 mg test per week?..seriously? lol
The prescription through my urologist is for a 10ml vial a month. It states that I'm to use .7ml weekly. Plenty of doctors prescribe the 10ml vials and I believe it costs the insurance company less than the multiple 1ml vials I would need for the month. They are trusting that you won't abuse it. The doc said each vial is good for a year so I'll have quite a collection in a few months.
I get the same thing,, prescribed 150mg a week and get a 10ml vial for $10.00
nope
If that's the case can't you get 2 1ml vials and have insurance cover your monthly presciption instead of paying extra for the other 8ml? It is hard to get 2 full 50mg doses out of each vial but I have done it.
