So finally today was my appointment consultation at an "anti-aging/hrt" clinic.
First a little background of myself. 19 years old with low testosterone as a result of genetic factors and prohormone abuse. Used to be 6'0 215 pounds @ 6% bodyfat and trained strongman with a personal trainer/professional strongman. So i've always known a thing or two about working out, dieting, and hormones. After fucking my hormones up by abusing PH's 3 times, I've dropped to 185 pounds and 13% BF. No sex drive, ED, sharp lose of mental focus/memory, lethargy, etc. etc.
After dealing with an incompetent urologist for a month, my problem has finally been diagnosed as a hormonal issue.
So, this doctor I met today told me he does not want to prescribe me test cypionate at 19 years old because he does not want me to be dependent on test for the rest of my life. He said he would not want my balls to shrink, or have fertility issues later when I consider becoming a father. He said if I were 60 years old it would be no problem. Despite arguing with him and saying I really would not care to be on test my whole life, and I'm not worried about having kids for another 15 years, he refused.
Instead, he prescribed me Sermorelin Forte, a GH booster, which I have to inject daily. Cost? $299 a month. I told him I could not afford that, so he waived the consultation fee so I could try Sermorelin for a month, promising me that I'd love it.
Luckily, he also prescribed me Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) @ 250IU injected every Mon, Wed, and Fri.
Ideally, I was looking for Test Cypionate @ 200-300mg/weekly plus Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) injections. But I could not get that unless I do not have good results with the GH booster first, or if I switch to Maximus (which from the price list of chip, would be WAY cheaper anyway)
What are your opinions on the protocol I was prescribed to?
Also, a question for all you out there who are prescribed and covered by insurance...how did you get prescribed? This clinic I visited today, along with online ones such as Maximus, all charge without insurance. I have high-quality insurance with only a $10 copay. If i were diagnosed with hypogonadism I'm sure it would be covered. Would I have to be prescribed by an endocrinologist/urologist in order to have my treatments covered by my insurance??
