    Health insurance giving me 1ML of test bottles?

    Hey guys I've been converted from Testim gel to injects and my insurance will cover it. He has put my on 1.6cc's every 3 weeks to start. Well if I use mail order from my insurance plan they will pay for it all. The only problem is the are sending me (2) 1ML vials. So if I take 1.6 every three I will be wasting .4. I'm supposed to call every 2 weeks and they will send me 2 more 1ml bolltes. What a pain in the a$$, I asked about getting a 10ML and they said they don't have it. So I would like to get to a dose of 1ML each week, so I don't have to draw from two different vials. Don't want to screw up the data for the doc yet. I just want to get my levels into line then I can worry about doing cycles.

    I know this is work because between the synthroid he put me on and the testim, I'm down 8 lbs in 2 1/2 months with out changing the diet and I have some more energy,. I feel we have a little more room for improvement. It has been a long journey trying to figure out what the hell has been wrong with my body and mond for the last 6-7 years. Well I'm 36 going to be 37 this year and I think this is the year for glory .

    Thanks Beast

    check with your plan on generic vs brand
    test cyp I think is gyneric while ***otest is brand and it can make huge diff in payments

    I would definately try and do once a week injects as things are more stable than doing it once every 3 weeks. I would probably do 1/2ml or about 125mg/week. That seems to be a good TRT dosage.

    I will be going to see my doc in two weeks and will try to switch to injectables.
