Unless you get 5 refills. I’ve been for about 1.5 years.
So basically I just show them the number on my phone through the app and pay the money and get the medication no doctor required?
Of course you need the drs prescription. If you get 5 refills then you don’t need a new prescription each time.
You need the Dr to prescribe it. Sorry if i wasn’t clear. The goodRX is just to give you a discount without going through insurance.

And now sexual function mostly returned. That is bazzaro. Still LOVE trt though. 
Being on trt, have any of you found that it makes you attracted to even the dog ugly chicks?? I’m encountering this excessive interest in banging almost anything. 
Does that die down??
So youre horny again and good erections?
U used cialis? Any other protocol changes?
I took a 5mg dose Monday morning and that shit seemingly is still working. But could be the new T protocol too. The erections seemed to get stronger the day after injection up till and through the next injection day.
I’m guessing “steady” scheduled injections are the ticket. Before it was injections every 3 then 4 days then repeat. Now I’m every 3 days
Today, it’s strongest in the mornings but by no means soft later on. I’m thinking that one cialis lasted several days.
If one Cialis last that long than your numbers are pretty good.
If your numbers were off you would have needed another dose by now.
After the third or fourth day you really don’t have that much Cialis left in you.

The only issue I’m dealing with now is resting heart rate. Heart pounding at night. Should pass in a few weeks. I hope. But I’m no longer getting tired on the 5th day after the second weekly injection. Feels good…
I had the heart thing too. took a while to go away.
I went to cardiologist to rule out heart problems.
Is your heart racing?
Mine was just pounding not racing.
Only at night. It hovers at 85 while just sitting and watching tv. But even slight movement like getting up from a seated position makes it increase to 97-105. When I go to bed it’s just pounding and throbbing. As I relax and fall asleep I get into 74-78 resting territory just about all night.
Then in the morning, it’s normal. Normal all day long. Even workout hr is normal. Bp is low normal.
It wasn’t doing this before changing protocol though. Pretty much started on the new injection day…
2 months in. Having an issue that I honestly didn’t see coming. My skin itches during workout. I guess when I sweat. This is a pretty new thing for me. Never happened before today ever. It gets so bad that I can’t finish cardio.
Is this a TRT thing???
Any idea if TRT lowers Ferritin?
Yes, it certainly can. I have no idea why you get itchy during cardio though. Maybe you’re allergic to cardio?

You know I wonder why that aspect of testosterone is never reported as a side effect. Almost like they completely skip it for some reason
The working out is odd. It itches for 10 min then nothing. Happens as I sweat.
Question. My doc told me he’s fine with my ferritin at 38 because my hemoglobin and hct is high normal. He said we’ll “watch it”
Hct 48.5
Hgb 15.4
Rbc 5.4
Ferritin 38 ( was 450 3 months ago)
Is he wrong or is this a non issue? The only side effect I have is fatigue sporadically through the day. And it interdicts with work out at times.
Whats the range of your ferritin?
To make sure you can run an iron panel lab. That usually includes
This panel contains the following tests:
- Iron, Serum
- Iron Saturation
- Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
- Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC)
And if you don’t pay for labs you can get transferrin
Transferrin is the main protein in the blood that binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. Transferrin levels rise with iron deficiency and fall in cases of iron overload. Transferrin is also responsible for circadian variation in serum iron (which peaks in the AM).
Normally, iron is absorbed from food and transported throughout the body by transferrin, which is produced by the liver. About 70% of the iron is transported to the bone marrow and incorporated into hemoglobin within red blood cells. The remainder is stored in the tissues as ferritin.
HCT is high normal?? Not sure what the doc is talking about, 48 is right where you want it to be.
Remember increased blood count is what gives you endurance, if your blood count didn’t go up, you would not have more endurance on testosterone.
So of course extremely high HCT is not good, but even then Dr Morgantaler did a review in the New England Journal of medicine and they could not find a single case study, not 1 person, to have a heart attack or stroke from testosterone induced high HCT. So even though people claim there is this boogeyman out there, it has never been documented in clinical research.
Some guys worry so much about blood count that they actually donate too much, and give themselves an iron deficiency and it is super hard to come back from.
HAHA I chuckled, nice one.

The only side I’m feeling is fatigue. Before I was a power train.but now I’m tired as fuck. Hate that feeling.
I have chronic hemorrhoids so when I eat processed sugar I get inflammation and bleeding down there and this happened twice in the last 3 weeks. But it wasn’t enough to knock ferritin down so low. My ferritin was 450 just before starting trt and it heals there for over a year before trt.
Like Charlie said, I need to get full iron work up.
