How low does your testosterone have to be to get on hrt?should I tell my dr I used st

Your the First to tell me this ive asked a few people and they all say no its seems like common sense but just wanted other opinions thank you.
 
Some people are afraid that the information is documented and given to your insurance company. It's not a big deal. The insurance company isn't forwarding the list of its clients to local police departments and asking them to arrest individuals for steroid use. Otherwise the information is privileged from the doctor and by law he's not allowed to share the information.

Shoot the doctor straight, you're likely to get better results. Let him know you did the cycle, your system didn't bounce back as expected and you need his help to get you healthy and back to optimal levels.
 
I think docs often think a younger guy is just seeking steroids but not really needing them.

What is it that you want doc to do?

There are quite a few threads on here covering this very subject. While you do have a client-patient confidentiality, their NOTES are available for your insurance company to read. All it takes is one note indicating that you have used a schedule III drug for off-script use and you could be denied future benefits or even have your current benefits rescinded. I would advise NOT telling your PCP about AAS usage as there are many alternatives which are legal and can have similar outcomes such as legal prohormones that can cause suppression or a B-12 injection causing an abscess. The risk isn't worth it in my humble opinion.

To the OP: This is dependent on both how progressive your doctor is and what your current insurance deems to be hypogonadal. Many docs will not prescribe testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) unless you are below "normal" range (which unfortunately includes sick 90 year old men) which using the imperial scale is
348-1197 or 280-800 depending on the laboratory where it was performed. I don't know the SI scale off the top of my head, so if you're from outside the US, you'll have to google the range. If you have a progressive doc, they may prescribe testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) solely based on how you feel; so if you are at 400ng/dL and feel like crap - they may prescribe testosterone and see if you benefit.

My .02c :)
 
I posted them in another thread but I did a 10 week test cycle with superdrol kickstart 20mg a day for two weeks afterward I waited ten days and was gonna do 12.5 mg of aromasin and 50mg of clomid for 30 days but a couple days in I suffered a random case of dizziness followed by anxiety so I switched to adex.5mg day and 20mg nolva and sides still persisted anxiety was something I had never experienced and was debilitating fearful of what was causing it I stopped which I know was bad idea but at the time seemed like the best thing to do now I just want to get back to normal
 
Maybe telling them I took a prohormone is a better idea once they have the lab results one would think the treatment would be the same know?
 
Tell the the truth so you can be treated properly. If you are worried about records pay out of pocket and don't use your normal doctor.

I work at an insurance company. I've never seen this to be true.
