Doc/Med Grp wants to stop TRT

[Alpin]

I should have quantified a little. I'm 54 years old, could stand to loose 25-30 pounds, but otherwise I'm pretty healthy and active, though I don't go to the gym. The last time my test was checked it was 460ish with the injections so not ridiculously high.

I did a little research on what it takes to switch Primary Care Managers (PCMs). Apparently the "lack of confidence" card will make things happen. We'll see.

460 trough level off the T shots? (day of shot but before shot)you were injecting once weekly?
Just keep active, take a low dose daily aspirin, don't drink, dont eat poorly, monitor estradiol and HCT...
no need to panic like this doc is doing.

Apollon,
My PCM wants blood work every 6 months. Last test (November?) I pinned on Thursday and had the blood test on Monday morning. Not optimum, I know but that's just what my schedule would allow. Where does that put me in the peak-trough you think? Seems most on here are on a lot more than 100mg a week. I'm not complaining mind you, I just want keep what I got.

You can get Test Cyp 200mg/mL, 10mL vials for around $*****, that will last you 10 weeks, at $***** per week. You can get LiquiDex from rui which will last you a looooooong time, that's if you even need it at 100mg a week, I know I didn't. And if you want to use HCG you can get that for $***** for 5000iu, and using 250 per injection, if you draw the syringes and freeze them that will last you quite a while. So you could make one order for a year to save on shipping and stock up. Keep the HCG in the freezer, Liquidex at room temperature, and Test in a dark, cool, dry place.

Honestly if at some point my ability to be on legally prescribed TRT doesn't exist anymore, I'll be administering it myself. The main benefit to having a doctor prescribing it at this point is I get have them write up whatever labs I want any time. That will be ran through my insurance, and for a while laundry list of labs I'll pay minimally. Ordering the blood tests from personalabs, privatemdlabs, etc can get pricey if you want a number of varying labs.

Did you know that I am going to re-read the site rules 4,150 times?

WTF guys? I have had to edit three posts in this thread? Keep the posts clean -- especially in the TRT section of all places.

That's 4 days later (post shot) not horribly bad at 460 but not optimal for many guys. It doesn't matter what I tell u....
in the end it's how YOU feel is whats important.
I'd like to know peak TT, ESTRADIOL. ...
both peak 48 hours after shot. So count 2 days from shot.
maybe you're at 700 peak I'm guessing? ?
start working out and drop that 20-30 pounds...
you'll thank me later.

You are very lucky if you can order labs like that from your doc. I know that's not a possibility with mine cause of Govt. Healthcare.

Great advice and info guys! Knowledge is power.! I have learned a lot from everyone's information and input. Lol on your "wtf/keeping it clean" Megatron28..

If it were me, I would buy my own test and remain on trt without a script. .

Not a great idea as you can see:

The point to my post that got edited is that the internet is full of bad shit and some good shit too. If I could no longer stay on TRT legally for some reason I would absolutely go on my own. However, a person has to be aware that they could be injecting contaminated meds. I have a buddy that just ended up with a baseball size abscess in his thigh because of dirty injectables. It could have been a lot worse. Stay safe if you can bro. I think it is worth the extra money for the peace of mind. Don't just order test from a Pakistani pharmacy.
