How many of you manage your own trt?

[F0cus]

I’ve been using clinics for quite a while and the costs are getting a little ridiculous from the clinic in with now. Curious as to how many of you are managing it yourself. Thanks

The cost has always been absolutely retarded. I’ve been on self prescribed TRT for 15 years spending $10 a month instead of $200 plus…

Anything regulated will always be over charged and under providing LOL!

To manage your own health properly, is to live longer and have more money in your pocket HAHA!

How do you go about your bloodwork?

 

[slesh]

Ulta Labs or Privatemdlabs.com

It’s cheap (IMO) and you can order whatever labs you want and just to go Quest with the requisition they provide you.

i have been going to the Dr for mine for over 20 years as it defrays the costs. Then adjusting as i see fit. For actual real TRT for tests, gear, needles, Dr. , copay AI etc. it costs me about $500 a year. And the enhanced dosages aren't that big of an expense.

I believe he is speaking to members who wouldn’t be able to get it covered by insurance or chose not to. If he was using insurance I don’t believe it would be cost prohibitive for him or anyone really.

With my shitty ass insurance (UMR) it isn’t great. While not expensive it’s way cheaper to use black market raws!!!! Plus I don’t have to schedule blasts around doctor visits!

Copay - $40 specialist
Rx Test - $30
Rx AI - $5
Bloodwork - $20

I sort of figured. But my post was geared towards those that could do insurance but may not be sure if they wanted. And unless the OP says why they asked what they did i don't make assumptions. I just put info out there that may be used or not by them or some one else.

What tests do you typically order?

Each site has different packages and combos. But I typically do CBC, metabolic panel, Test/E2, lipids and thyroid.

I'd ask the reverse, how many are actually getting their TRT under Doctor Supervision with a script? I can't imagine that even 5% of the guys that use on here go through a doc . Fuck TRT Clinics, they are purely in for the money. Just look at their astronomical prices.

 

[EnhancedFatGrappler]

I get blood work done every 3 Months, and always at the start and end of a Blast. Just the basic Panels, and only get more tests if something is out of whack. I drive to a local lab and tell them what to test. It is all in german though and I cant be arsed to translate this. Basically everything Slesh has mentioned. I always get a few more in depth kidney markers (gotte keep an eye on my kidneys). Runs me around 120€ per test, that's very reasonable pricing and worth the investment imho.

Not to mention that my doc is a asshole and won't refill my prescription for Tren.

Most guys here that go through a clinic are mainly doing it for the script in the event they want to travel with gear and have peace of mind…

What slesh said ^^ I like flying with a script. I started trt with a FL online clinic in 2020 and the cost was $1,200 a year. I wasn’t trusting the compounded Test c so I use my urologist for trt now. Insurance pays for it and yearly cost is $310 now.
I add in other AAS throughout the year but pull everything down to test c only at 200mg a few weeks before bloodwork every 6 months.
It’s nice to have insurance pay for it but I don’t like my primary doctor seeing my trt meds and bloodwork. He’s not of fan of trt.

 

[EricJ123]

Yes and have been for many years. I was on TRT before I started using roids due to hypogonadism. My doc would only prescribe gels. God I hated those and It was fucking expensive.

Now a $15 vial of test will last me months and I get my bloodwork done via ulta labs.

$190 for the GH fund

Used Dr for years (clinic) probably 2011-2015. I do it myself now. Much easier and cost is minimal. Once things are balanced and you know how to balance them should they move... there's no real value other than legit script (I still have plenty of unused vials). Not rocket science and many of us have been using this stuff for decades.
