How long does the paperwork side of TRT take?

[ToTheBuckeT21]

Just finished my blood work and physical to get on TRT. My buddy is going through the same service, his natural ranges were normal and still ended up with 200mg a week. Unless my test levels magically went up since my late 20s 10 years ago I'm likely a true candidate in need of this.

Just wondering how long you waited from the point you got all your paperwork and testing done to when you got your first dose. Couple days, weeks, months?

They took my bloodwork on a Monday. (Bloodwork is all in house.) My appt to go over my bloodwork was the following Monday and they called to say it wasn't done. They then called me that Wednesday morning and said they had my results. I went in Wednesday afternoon and went over my results, went over my protocol, and got my first shot that afternoon.

I believe 200mg is the starting protocol for all these clinics nowadays no matter what which seems a bit high but whatever. That's what they started me on also and what they started me on 7 years ago also when I went to a clinic.

So, for me, the answer was 10 days. Every clinic will be different. It will still take a while to start feeling the results even after your first shot and hopefully you can feel right without too much messing around with the doseage they prescribe.

Hopefully if you do need TRT they prescribe HCG also.

Perfect thank you, yea it includes that and Arimidex plus regular blood work. It's been years but I always reacted very well to test even at 500mg so I'm sure 200mg will do me wonders.

The nice thing about it is you may feel fine @ 150mg/week or less. If they permanently script you 200mg/week (some places do), you can bank the rest up for a blast. It doesn't sound like much, but over a period of time, it adds up.

Just make sure you know exactly when your labwork will be scheduled so you can allow plenty of time for your body to drop back down to therapeutic ranges and your typical blood work to be at a good place.

Yup that’s exactly what I was thinking as well.

I found an online clinic and submitted my own labs .
Took them about a month to even call me and then set up a consultation. That was another week after the call.
After that another week and a half for my medsbto arrive

Clinic reached out today, they already have my blood results and physical report. Natural test was on the low side at like 402. I already have my virtual consultation scheduled for Thursday. Hopefully after that I'm good to go and they'll ship everything out right away. I'm actually surprised how quickly it's all moving.

Been approved for 200mg test a week. I received a notification that I’ll get a tracking number within 72 hours and I’ll have to sign for the shipment. Whole process looks like it’s going to take about 2 weeks. Way faster than I would have expected. Excited to start feeling like myself again and get back in shape.

Sure enough, got a tracking number and the gear was delivered today. Whole thing took 2 weeks, unreal. Just took my shot, feels good to be back in the game and legally this time!
