Question about doctor and blood work !

**Musa** · 11-06-2019, 02:38 PM

Hi I just need help with something ,thanks in advance . I have been on 180mg/week as TRT ( on my own ) pretty much for couple years . I am going to get some blood work done to see if everything is OK , I don't really want to tell my doc I am taking it . Once the blood comes back and if (probably will ) some levels would be high like RBC and Test , what do I tell him ? Because I don't want to go down the road of him thinking there is something else wrong like cancer, and start doing shit load of tests. Honestly I would like to get off the TRT and maybe bring my levels up naturally or keep with TRT under doc supervision , but not sure how to even do that as I am only 38 and have high levels now probably. Thanks

If you're in the US, use one of the online lab services and avoid the Dr

As those labs are not actually selling anything illegal , can I ask here for a good site for that ?

theres nothing illegal about obtaining private blood work. those labs are legitimate medical service providers .. places like Private Md labs. or you can even get with some HRT clinics like Titan Medical and they can order blood work for you

sure thing .. a new one , which I have never used yet , is Tony Huge Labs . I think they will even send a phlebotomist to your house to draw blood and you don't even have to go to a walk in clinic

Does anyone have any idea if there is private labs in Canada. I found some online tests were you send a sample of blood to check test level. They are expensive though.

All of the private canadian labs are expensive because OHIP and health care give us free bloodwork for 99% of Tests. So the private companies can gouge the market and charge whatever they want.

I think Letsgetchecked was a popular one last I heard.

I have been looking into let’s get checked. They send the test to me. I then prick my finger and send the blood sample back. 89 cad for a testosterone only test. Kind of expensive
