Just stop pinning 4-5 days before next test.. you will be good

I went to the VA with all the low T symptoms they did my bloodwork and it came back at 244. They said that I was within range for the VA system. That place is a joke!! They will give us all the antidepressants we can shove in our face but no testosterone!

I went to my primary care physician and then referred to endo. I had labs done for low Test. Usually ran 450 ish. Dr. Said no trt even though I was having all the symptoms of low T. I then went to a local hormone clinic. The “doctor ???” there said she wanted my total test around 900 to 1100 and free test around 30. Just had my lab after a year and she gave me a script to bump it up again. I have found that primary care physicians and endo are very cautious to hand out a script for fear of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high PSA, and other adverse effects. If you want TRT go to a hormone clinic.

But yea drs are horrific when it comes to trt like absolutely clueless

Don’t use tight ass as an insult

Just run a tiny bit. Then go back. She will up your dose

You could always buy some prop, run that instead of the cyp, then when you have your next scheduled bloodwork, pull the prop out 48-72 hours before your bloodwork. Then it’ll look like your script ain’t doing shit and she might increase it. Of course tell her you took the amount she gave you and micro dosed it every MWF for more stability due to half life. Or she’ll write off the low levels as being 14 days after an injection with a 5-6 day half life

Game the system if the system is trying to fuck you over

I had the same issue with my doc a couple years ago. Total at 290. Prescribed 70mg every two damn weeks. Absolute garbage care, same as yours - borderline negligence imo. I learned fast that with the half-life of cyp you are shutting down your endogenous production, barely getting a bump from that amount tiny of exogenous and then it is over half gone before the next injection. Up and down like a yo-yo - from feeling shitty to shitter back and forth. I never went back to that doc, I don't care he doesn't know what he doesn't know; then don't prescribe it and fuck with someone's hormones.

I just went to an online clinic - $100 / month for 200mg test cyp every week. Blood work offered through the clinic for $129, but just go to goodlabs or wherever for a la carte inexpensive testing when you want, and supplement the clinic test with UGL gear as you figure out what is optimal for you.

Most docs, especially primary care, are nearly useless nowadays with the amount of information available for all of us. We just need them for scripts, but I get all my antibiotics online no script and of course UGL gear now. I keep the TRT clinic script for when I travel in case there is ever an issue.

The title of this thread had me thinking this was gonna be a different kind of story

I started my script with my Dr pre test was at like 250. Start at 150mg every other week. My next blood draw I waited like 14 days to get bloods and
By then my T had dropped to like 160-180 I believe and so I was like yeah I was testing the limit to see if this is truly affective so she then changed my script to .75ml / 175mg per week. And after doing that for a few months my levels got to about 950. My dr has been great. Once I opened up to her about my previous history with testosterone she was like we will do whatever you want. This past appt she told me she’s a gym addict and she has her Dr prescribing her the chick formula test.. which i think is a little bit of test, estrogen and progesterone cream. With my insurance I pay 9.09$ a month for my script

Yeah, my doc reluctantly gave me a prescription for jell when my total T was 250. That shit is worthless so I stopped. A bit later my labs showed total T at 192 and Dr said no cuz my blood draw was in the afternoon when T is highest in the morning. I had new labs done in the morning and my total T was 92. My Dr now says, “that’s not good for your health” and finally prescribed Test c 200 but like a fool he says to dose 1 ml every 2 weeks. I dose twice a week @ .3 ml (120 mg/week) and that has my total t at 750….and feeling good.

Smartest thing to do is to dose yourself and use insurance for blood work.

The second smartest thing is to locate a different doctor.

Damn I was at 327 and I didn't think they would give me a rx so I just started doing it myself.
