Pellet info for a friend

[kscowboy]

I have got a friend of mine on Dr prescribed test and everything seems to be going well with his current Dr but this Dr is now pushing him to get on the pellets instead of the injectables.

I personally have no experience to share with him as i have always done injectable and have never tried the pellets.

Anyone have any experience, good or bad, with pellets?

I had the pellets done about 5 years ago. It seems like it was MORE for the insurance to pay out because they didn't cover the whole cost for me. I didn't get bloods done at the time, so I can't say if they were more effective than the shots or gel. It seems like they put 3 little things under the skin on my left glute.

I had 2 friends that did it for a year or so. They had to get it redone early every time as blood work was showing them being low before they should have been. One guys insurance covered it, the others didnt and it was expensive. Both went back to injectables eventually.

this is what I have been told as well, that they had to return early than thought to get more pellets, when I started trt I was offered pellets, injects or gels, I discussed pellets and was told that he ( my urologist ) would implant 14 pellets, I don't know what the mg would have been, the office ran it thru with my insurance and after insurance paid, I would still have to pay about 250.00 each time, compare that to a 30.00 vial of test.

I don't think the extra cost for pellets is worth it. Unless of course you don't like injecting yourself.

I would do self injections so you can keep your blood levels stable.Most TRY docs don't know shit imo.I had a friend do the pellets and he is now back on Injections.You can monitor yourself more accurate injections,bloods show test to high lower dose bloods show to low up dose.A lot easier to me.

I used pellets for about a year - mostly because I was afraid of self-injecting. I quit on the advice of my Dr. because of the scar tissue build up. Have been injecting for several years now and wish i had gone this route from the beginning.
