What should a 10 week cycle of TRT cost?
ad
A clinic near me is selling 10 week cycles of test along with the anti estrogens and AI’s I’ll need on hand for $475. I’m new to this so I wanted to get a sense of what it should cost. Thanks.

Skip it. TRT is not a "cycle". TRT converstions should be about your health moving foward. TRT is for life.
Took the words right out of my mouth. TRT cycle? Lol.
Plus 2...yess
Sorry- the intention is to continue taking it. From what I understand it will be around 200mgs a week. Just trying to figure out if 475 dollars every 10 weeks is too much money (once again it included the AIs etc. Are you saying I won’t get any good muscle building results off that amount?
If thats the case, its not a cycle.
Also 200mg might be too much or too little. All depends on your blood work.
It will 100% help you.
I was paying around 100bucks a month plus any AI, bloodwork was extra.
All was out of pocket for me.
200 is cycle so.....post bloods. A bottle of top 10 is 35bucks. 1 bottle for 10wks....
Yes and No. Its all on the bloodwork. For me 200mg (depending on suppier) puts me right at 1200-1300. My buddy at 200mg sits at like 800-900.
So for most, it will be a cycle for others they need a bit more.
But i agree with you. Were on the same page.
Good point I should have said “10 week supply”.
Seems like I need to shop around. I like that they do a lot of stuff in house and kinda guide me. Kinda nervous just trying to learn this on my own and hope I have the right things. My original thought was to do it on my own through UGL but I kinda panicked for now. Plus seems the UGLs only deal in bit coin and I’d rather not.
This community is great. What I did was start with the hormone clinic and then learn from here.
Your covered through them and they will guide you while you continue researching.
What do you mean by “TRT conversations should be about your health moving forward” - I don’t know why testosterone wouldn’t help me now?
If needed, it would. However sometimes those clinics will let you redline the engine, so to speak. Have you run 200mg/wk and your total test be ~1300 and other bloodwork metrics be pushing the boundary. End of the day, and some may disagree with me here, “replacement” therapy should not require an AI. That would mean every normally functioning natural male would need to be on AIs. The folks running AIs on TRT are running doses higher than their body can handle. Some can handle 1100 total and be in range on E2 and others would need to dose to be 600-700 total to be in range for E2. Now if you want to run at 1100-1300 even though it requires an AI, that’s fine but be honest with yourself and know that you’re not running true TRT. Instead it’s more this “sports TRT” that has become popular as of late.
Once you get a handle on things through the clinic, it will absolutely be cheaper to go the UGL route. You can make that decision down the road once you’re more comfortable with everything (needles, dosing, bloodwork, etc).
Noone really should disagree with that. Theres no way replacement doses if you are doing real trt should be giving you any negative side effects except maybe a little bit of gyno for some. But still they shouldn't mess with their estrogen but just use nolvadex to counter the puffy nips. Estrogen = growth also.
Thanks for the thought out comment.
My feelings are the same on AI's. I run 75mg a week of test e. That's the amount that doesn't require an AI. Anymore and the lump under my right nipple comes back. Although, at times I add HCG to plump up the boys and I need an AI when I add it. I'm running gh at 3iu's a night and waiting to see if the lump from prolactin comes back like I had it when running 5iu's a night of gh.
Adding extras like HCG changes my stance. I should clarify: if running test only, then shouldn’t need AIs. Adding HCG or HMG changes things up. Though HCG does also boost my total test, so I could probably drop my test dose while on HCG. I add it in whenever my loads get pitiful…aka when my wife actually notices them being much smaller and mentions it. Run a vial of HCG, resets things, then I’m good for a while.
This is facts. Nailed it right on the head. I agree with this.
Best and safest way.
