True, but many PCP's typically will only prescribe Andro gel. Which I doubt would get levels higher than maybe 400-500. Obviously if one HAS to go through insurance that's the best option, or searching for a PCP that Is educated enough to do injections.
I think slowly, more and more pcp's are changing.
My opinion is some are decent and most are ****. It's a challenge to find a TRT/HRT specialist who actually cares about your health. Anti-aging clinics, on the whole, are testosterone prescription mills. Men go in just to get a prescription for testosterone and the doctors oblige by writing them a prescription for 100-200mg of cypionate per week.
She's atleast willing to prescribe injectable test though correct? Also if you don't mind me asking what doses?
Yeah. She prescribes injectable. Right now, I'm at 75mg per week. I started in April and she's taking for-fn-ever to get to a therapeutic dose.
Very true, I have heard of places that the doc see the patient for a few minutes. Runs blood work and just throws them on test and says come back in a year for more bloodwork. No follow up bloodwork to check on levels after initial dosing or anything.
High 200's to low 300's. We're making our way to between 500 and 800.
Sounds like your on your way man. Thanks for the replies. I was just curious, as a whole it seems relatively difficult to find a GP, urologist or endo who knows more new age protocols for TRT. Good luck on your journey my man.
So, you have low T as it is and she is prescribing you a dose that keeps you at low T levels?
Well, I'm hearing injections should be every 3 1/2 days. She originally had me at every other week, I had to push to get enough needles to inject weekly. She has been willing to compromise though, so I think we're going to get there.
Ideally injections every 3.5 days is optimal, but most people don't want to pin that often. Every 2 weeks must have been a killer, highs and lows lol.
Like none other. I literally felt like I was flying high for a week and then wanted to walk into traffic for a week. It sucked.
I've heard those pellets do nothing
Sounds to me like she hasn't a clue as to what she is doing as a professional if you, her patient, has to instruct her as to her approach in balancing your hormones.
That's pretty sketchy
They help but the problem is you can't adjust dosing until the pellet runs its course(12 weeks) plus the scar tissue that inevitably builds up is a pain
I'm good. I'll stick with injections. ?
Thats what I tried to tell him. I even gave him a few sources. I,m interested to see what his #s come back on the pellet, if they even ck. his level again. Its crazy !!!
To be honest, that's pretty much what's going on here. I know what my goals are and am learning what I need to do, as I go, to get there.
I'm confused. Who are you referring to who is educated in TRT? Based on what you have shared with us about this female doc you are currently seeing, it's clear she is not at all well-versed in TRT/HRT and balancing hormones.
I'm not seeing the female endo, DotW is.
Haha! My bad, this old man can't keep up with all the posts!!!
Haha, no worries man.
Glad u got a job doing this!
Thanks man! I'm excited for it. I've heard so many horror stories from other clinics I was apprehensive but drilled them on protocol and how they monitor patients health and they are about health but also safely getting results.
Not on the East coast, by chance Canes325 ?
That's insane. For many reasons. The first the cost, second prescribing meds without bloodwork is crazy. Run brother run fast lol
Let me guess; this place was in Florida - the "anti-aging clinic Mecca" haha. Yeah, that I would run from too!
I wonder why florida of all places?
They must have lax laws down there. Lots of compounding pharmacies there too, which go hand in hand with anti-aging clinics.
I'm in Florida. The laws are as lax as they get here. Anti aging clinics everywhere. I get emails from one of the clinics here offering all types of stacks offering NPP, Winstrol depot, Anavar, test, HGH, sermorelin etc
Contemplates move to FL......
Lots of OLD men with low testosterone!!!
Haha, we're out of Florida but have over 40 physicians throughout the country. It does seem like florida is a hot spot.
Plenty of young guys on TRT here. I've talked to a 23 yr old at my gym on TRT. I called up the clinic once to talk to them. I was like "well I'm only 25 yrs old" he was like " not a problem come in come in do t worry we will take care of you" he sounded young btw. I then said "I'm not sure if I'm ready to take that step" he was like "come back when you're ready." I felt like he was signing me up for TRT on the phone if that makes sense. We both knew what my intentions were. It was quite obvious by the way we were speaking with each other.
