You just started with IMT. Why are you already considering dropping them? You haven't even done your first injection yet!

I was in a position like yours. But you got imt to back you up. No insurance so What I did is called in a favor to moms boss, the doctor, and I was seen and scripted. Took 100mg the first injection and I screwed up. I must he really sensitive to changes because I bugged out.
Anyway, was approved for insurance the next day, smh. Now I'm stuck with these depressing ass loopy out of it cross eyed feeling caffeinated but lethargic daze most of the time. With imt at least eh ten weeks will get you dialed in, I don't have much experience with exactly how long it takes to get your sweet spot but I'm sure they do.
As for the switching docs, as log as you're getting one that can take over from where you left off and knows the game. Some docs will be nahhh on the ai's. Some docs won't even check estrogen.

Please don't list IMT prices on here. Call them directly if you have questions.

yea no price talk on anything is always best. I will tell you this, if your looking for affordable concierge testosterone replacement therapy, they are it. They have very competitive prices in comparison to those that offer the same services.

I have done this both ways. My insurance "covered" therapy while I was with a provider to begin TRT. Then, as often times things do, the provider left my area. So I was lucky enough to find an age management doc close by who was trained and knew his stuff. His cash only system worked out to be comparable, in fact cheaper, due to a shorter commute versus the original doc.
I will also add that I spoke with IMT (and more than likely will be speaking with them again this summer) and they were also comparable to my "covered" doc. The big difference is these guys know the latest in age management/trt so they can tweak our protocol MUCH more effectively than a primary care doc who we often times have to train and sell them on the latest methods to successfully manage our condition.
So even if it is a little more expensive for arguments sake, consider the value of the knowledge and convenience of a place like IMT. I know I sound like a mouthpiece for these guys, but I'm really not. Just my two cents.

Ya I agree they are very knowledgeable and up to date. My plan was to use them to dial in a good protocol then use my positive results as a way to persuade my urologist to get me on the same program. I have very good insurance and i don't think i'll be paying anything near what i'm paying now if it gets covered.
