Self prescribed bloodwork
Hey everyone, new member here. I have been taking TRT for about 3 or 4 years through a popular online teleclinic. First, the HCG was taken away and now I have to pay a prescription referral fee and full price for pharma grade. Now the whole potential of DEA getting rid of the out of state teleclinics is the final straw. I feel like Im being forced into paying more because of pharmaceutical lobbying. Done with it
Im already researching some sources on this site and it looks promising. One question.. I do this for overall health and wellness. So my bloodwork and safety measures are very important to me. Does anyone have advice how to get my bloodwork done if I am not getting refferals from a doctor?
Also, if anyone wants to give any general advice to a guy who is on the brink of going ugl route,. it would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

RustyhookerAt your age a dr will run bloods and advise you properly. Stop your srlf meds so youre bottom out when you go. DO NOT TALK SELF TRT TO DR as you can firever lose your insurance! Youre tired, lethargic, no boner and depressed. Bloods will prove it. Dont fk around playing victim here.

I used them, they send you a test kit, follow the instructions mail it back in self addressed package they include. I had results within a day or two. I posted results not that long ago. Good luck !!!!
If you live in NJ,NY and I believe Rhode island, those are the only 3 states that you cannot have private bloodwork done from the online providers that do private bloodwork services. Just a heads up.
Why don't you just go see a doc in person and have insurance cover everything?
Most doctors will not prescribe trt even if you have low test. Alot of them are just scared to do it or don't care.
You need to request the endo specialist. Endo docs know what they are doing, not afraid to set out a plan and write a script.
The only way to see one is to get a referral from your general practitioner. Need to ask the right question, "Can I get a second opinion? Can I be referred to an Endocrinologist?"
Best advice
When I started considering this, I felt like crap.. Couldn't get off couch, low libido, all that usual stuff. Went and seen a doctor... my levels were like 400 and that put me in the normal range. Doctor said I didnt need it. I had done enough online research to know that it was super tough to find a legit doctor to throw you on it. So I went with an online teleclinic. Its what I wanted to do and I would assume the risks. So far, its been amazing.
Im not even sure at this point how I could get it covered by insurance. Stop taking it and drop my levels and then go get bloodwork? Im taking HCG, so would it even drop low enough for a doctor to prescribe? Who knows. Its a game I dont feel like playing. Im dialed in right now.
I get headaches, sever nausea, body aches, all that usual stuff every morning after a night out. My doctor said I wasn't sick; my temperature was 92.8. So I went to my friends and he gave me something called "hair of the dog". So Far, its been amazing.
Mind you, I'm not an alcoholic, I'm just self-medicating.
Research more. Your symptom can be the result of several things. You are displaying conformation bias from those ads you watch and the drugs you're abusing. Yes, Cruising (not TRT) is abusing AAS.
This is a lot of guys unfortunately. I see so many not addressing other issues and hopping on test. Sure they feel slightly better but still not addressing the real issue. Oh well, you can only try and help so much.
I am in an acceptance of your critique. I appreciate the criticism and advice . Nonetheless, gonna keep cruising.
RustyhookerThen why you wasting our time just to flip us off? Troll much?
Wasting who's time? I asked about how to go about doing unprescribed bloodwork. This is a forum. A steroid forum at that. I use testosterone, I have for four years. Spare me the fatherly sit down.
Is this the general attitude with all the other steroids discussed on this forum? Or just testosterone? Is all the HGH and god knows what else you guys take that gets discussed here prescribed by a doctor?
Don't make a post citing your responsible use of TRT with a casual wink to your openness to "UGL". You were given good/great advise then took a shit on it.
JohnJuicePrivate lab service that offers blood tests for hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol, and PSA. You can order these tests yourself online, and they usually come with instructions on how to get your blood drawn at a local lab.
