I pay about $65 for a 10ml vial of test cyp 250mg/ml. I take .2mls every 3 days. I comes out pretty cheap that way, but I have to get it from an online source.

My PC outright refused to prescribe trt.

It's odd. He'll prescribe enough adderall to power the Waffen SS.

And push wegovy even though my mother had anaplastic thyroid cancer.

But test... No

We were always at least somewhat in agreement until I called him on prescribing things without doing any reasearch into side effects or his patient's history.

This guy turns arounds and messages a bunch of BS that was pulled from a google review discussion diagnosis that happened to be the top hit for the topic.

I linked it to him.

He's been a bit cold ever since.

Oh well, soing the rejuvime rought for a few months, if it has the effects I think it will on my recovery, mood, and drive... Perhaps he'll come around.

I emailed you earlier 777

Feeling much better 1 bottle of Test in. Morning wood all the time, better mood, stronger and more endurance. Overall feeling great. Started CJC/Ipam 6 week stack a couple weeks ago as well.

Anyone know of any BR PCP's that are performance/anti aging based (younger?) and/or will prescribe Test? Like mentioned above, I am using Rejuvime as a bridge until I can find a PCP and hopefully get it cheaper.

Anxious to see my next bloodwork in a couple months or so...

Man, dealing with some sore nipples ever since the Test has kicked in. Getting Gyno is literally my worst fear. From what I can gather it’s relatively normal at least in the beginning to have sore/sensitive nipples. I’m on high alert and looks like they may be puffing up, haha.

I’ve injected waaay more Test at a time than this extremely low dose in the past and never had any issues.

Not really wanting to start an AI or anything either, just hoping it’ll subside.

Blood work in 2 weeks will tell the tale. Anybody else dealt with this?

Probably worth it for the bloodwork. Do they use other methods besides TRT to increase T? Wife and I are family planning.

Yeah I think it’s worth it. I didn’t realize the bloodwork is so expensive. Hmmm, not totally sure about any other methods they use. We are done with child bearing, haha.

I used tongkat ali, ashwaganda, zinc, 10 grams of fish oil every morning when we were trying.

Only bumped test by 50 points.

Sperm count went through the roof. I was at the high end of normal before it. My viability was some thing like 14x the normal after three months of it.

Doc said he had never seen anything like it.

2-3k wasted as he was conceived the old fashioned way.

Ok, I have another lsu777 exploratory question. Buddy is on .15ml/daily as prescribed by his provider, I know you've previously questioned daily injections.

My math is shite but is that 210mg/weekly?

Also, he's trying to find another online provider and honestly I'm not being much help. I've seen TRT Nation, Viking, and Ageless Men's Health, any idea if these are good options?

Also, I seem to recall you mentioning a local option near Baylor. He's in that area.

Appreciate it.

Yeah, the one he's with doesn't do follow up blood tests, so he's doing them on his own and following up with his GP. And no estrogen blockers or even discussions about it. Honestly, I've told him to run, especially after reading other people's experiences on here.

If not Baylor, any thoughts on those other providers?

Monetarily, is there any reason to do this over the 150 a month rejuvime?

I know test is cheap. But the blood work at my doc that isn't needed is like 300 bucks after insurance.

Also... I feel like he's less informed than he should be.

Why do they charge $150 a month? Is it just to be in their program. I understand an initial consult and lab work.
Test is like $50 a vial for 10 weeks.
You just need baseline labs and then post test labs to check levels. Once your dose is dialed in, you really just need labs 1-2 times a year.

Well 450 over three months.

Even if I get the vial of test for cheap... I naturally have a stupidly high RBC level and a fairly high estradol level. So I'd want to test fairly frequently in case the RBC count goes up. 150 a month for the vial test and blood work every 3 months.

Vs cheap vials of test (admittedly attractive), and then over 300 at the doc for the "unnecessary" blood work.

Now if insurance was paying for blood work...

Idk. It'd be nice to get all of this covered.
