Started with Maximus, now NewEra, prices skyrocketing, is there a new HRT clinic?

[bro760]

I started working with Maximus on here a couple years back, since then it changed names a couple times and is now New Era. Still getting service but the prices have doubled in the past year.

Is there a new board sponsor that is recommended here?

Increase my T is no longer a board sponsor but everyone that has dealt with them had great things to say.

Is this partly due to the new socialized health care system the U.S. is adopting?

I doubt it. I mean, this is all out of pocket anyway; I don't see how the base costs of meds would be affected by that. I have a friend that was going through a local doc who was able to get 10ml on a single copay, now it's 1ml per copay... That hurt his pocket quite a bit, but at the same time it's still vastly less than I'm paying.

I know it sucks man, trust me though it is the FDA fault, right now the price increase is due to the vial size changes.

Basically the FDA does not want any multi dose sterile injectable vials to be used longer than 28 days. This is why the price went up, because the vials sizes are getting smaller. So its more work for the pharmacy.

If you go through a doctor then the cost is pretty low, I pay $10 copay to see my doc, blood tests are covered by insurance, I pay $50 a month for my prescription of Test. That is very low cost, why go to a clinic and pay out of pocket?

Because there's zero endos around here that aren't 70 year old Pakis that won't prescribe anything. It was an HRT clinic or nothing. Plus I haven't had kids yet, so the HCG is a nice benefit to keep the boys full, and I like keeping the E2 slammed so I don't get all bloaty when bulking. The protocol is cool, the price is starting to suck. If I thought I could self-medicate and not end up in shit over stuff getting snagged in shipping, I'd do it.

cause not a lot of doctors will just prescribe as easy as yours did, you got lucky. Not everyone has the same luxury.

Not to mention for guys with the money that do not care it is about privacy. Some guys have been going to their family doc for 25 years and they don't even want to go there with him.

more often then not guys go to their doctor, the doc gives them gel, they hate it, then the doc gives them T injects 200mg once per month and makes them come into the office every month. This process usually takes 3-5 months by the time they refer you to an endo, for you only to realize you needed to see a uro then they will want to run tests blah blah, it takes a while.

Not to mention for someone that doesn't know how to dial in their program, if their doc isn't on T he won't get it either, and they don't have countless hours to spend on the board searching the best way, they would rather pay to work with someone that has done it a gazillion times and can show them how to get dialed in the quickest way possible, they find value in this. You cannot buy this anywhere else I promise you.

Its about not having to schedule an appt and wait 3 weeks to get in to ask a simple question about E2.

Other reasons are for GH optimization.

I could go on and on and on.

Some of IMT clients are the most knowledgable guys on this board when it comes to TRT, so for those who find value in that knowledge, that is why you go with a company like that.

If you already got your program dialed in, are not interested in gh optimization or amino acid therapy, and your doc writes scripts for everything you need, god bless ya.

This is not the situation for 90% of the guys though, they are totally new to this and need guidance.

what do you pay for HCG? If your not on it then there is no need for me to go further in the convo, that is the first mistake there, thinking you know enough to know you do not need it.

There is no shame in going with a clinic, you will most likely get your protocol dialed in the quickest, if they are knowledgable.

Tons of guys do it, the majority actually.

I understand, I started at a TRT clinic and while under their care took my time to find a doctor that was able to offer everything I was looking for.

Best of luck!
