Hey guy’s I’m new to the forum with a kind of silly question but I really need some advice !
I’m on TRT now ( almost a year now and over one thousand dollars out of my pockets ) and looking for some advice on how to said goodbye to this clinic and by my meds online. I seen a few videos of guy’s who dropped their clinics and now they’re buying their meds online on a more very affordable price than before. Any insight on this because I’m getting broke and ready to quit but I don’t want to lose any of the benefits that this year on the meds are giving me ( alertness, more energy, better libido and a great desire to go to the gym ! By the way I’m 64 years old and can’t afford the big bill on top of my other bills ! Thanks guy’s really appreciate any comments or ideas .
- Do not order any refills from your current provider.
- Let them know you are discontinuing and do not make payments.
- Go on the internet and search for an underground source, or ask someone you know who uses one. I doubt anyone here will provide that information and if anyone does, I suspect it will disappear quickly. Another option is ask someone at a gym who provides underground testosterone. Usually, there is a source at those places.
- Down the road, if you need to insure your test is legit, look for a source for ordering your own labs. If you need help with what to order, you’ll get plenty of ideas here.
Good luck.
checkout steroidwiki.com. a lot of UGL is legit. right now I can afford to pay the ~1500usd each year no issue, but the day I couldn’t. i switch to internet. a monthly load of test is around 20-30usd.
I am on 150mg per week and order online. I pay $45 per 10ml vial of Test Cyp 250 per ml and lasts me over four months.
I don’t take an AI or HCG, so I’m less than $150 per year.
I’m at about $85 a year for test at TRT levels for me (160 mg/wk). The labs which I purchase on my own are far more expensive.
I use Hone, everything is mailed to me. 120 for a monthly membership, 84 for 600 mg/ml test cypionate monthly. It does include everything needed for injection, and labs that are done every three months, plus a zoom meeting with a doctor afterwards to adjust dosage, so I’m pretty happy with it.
I know it’s not as budget friendly as you want, but hopefully it gives context to the conversation.
Ask yourself this… are you prepared to monitor your own health the way the clinic does? Will you pull labs with regularity and are you confident in reading those? If not, you will at least need to remain vigilant on your physicals and have the standard CMP / CBC wlipids drawn. Are you willing to get caught with a schedule III drug and face the consequences however unlikely?
IMO its not worth it. The cost for me is about the same as you ~$1000/yr. If its important, pick up a hobby that you can profit from <$100/mo to pay for the meds.
Is this a federal thing or is it regulated by state to state? I ask because I’m in Europe so the legal consequences here vary depending on legislation of each country.
Do you have health insurance? Are you hypogonadal?
If so, why not just go to a doctor and your local pharmacy?
My doctors visits and yearly medication expenses add up to less than 250 bucks per year (not counting HCG).
I don’t understand this. Yes you save money, but you now:
- breaking the law (all me a nerd, I don’t care)
- unsure of quality of product. Just cos it has testosterone in it doesn’t mean it’s clean
- self-pay for blood work, that cost adds up. You are getting bloods done, right?
- when a problem does arise, you still have to go to a doctor to treat
I get it, saving money is awesome. But you lose some much as a result of it, in this case. Doesn’T seem worth it to me
Good post. I don’t get this either, as explained above. Why not just go to a doctor? With insurance TRT costs almost nothing.
Federal in the USA.
I get it, everyone wants to save money. Totally normal. But they assume that going UGL will be cheaper, but don’t realize the costs that are still going to be there for labs and upkeep, and then not knowing where your product comes from. I’d shop around before going that route
I have been on TRT for about ten years. I started at a clinic - had to go in every week to get my shot, blood test every twelve weeks. I started at 100 mg and titrated up to about 140 mg per week.$20 copay every visit.
I asked my PC doc about it and he wrote me a scrip for Test and I was able to shoot on my own, blood test every twelve weeks.
Blood tests were always the same. Test levels, lipids, all the same.
I moved, got a new doc, he wrote me a scrip, never responded to email when I ran out so had no new script, went UGL.
I switched to subq, have been on my own for five years. I get an annual physical, all my bloods are good. I donate blood on the regular. No AI, no HCG. Just one subq shot per week.
Many get caught up in all of the minutia, obsess about their hormones, SHBG, thyroid, blah blah blah.
I have no costs for labs and upkeep, am not beholden to an uninformed health care provider, and am happy with my source (blood tests show it is legit as I am always 600-650 prior to next injection).
I would not recommend my protocol to everybody, but it works for me.
No a hobby. It is prescribed because I need it !
Who said it was a hobby? I’m not understanding your post. I said pick up a hobby that can make money to cover your medical costs of TRT.
