what the doc said

I went to a reg doc and took blood tests today, $20 copay...much better than the $420 the endo charged. The doc was pissing me off, off the bat mentioned anti depressents, said it was in my head, "less than 1% of depressed men have low testosterone ". He refused to test estrogen..doesnt matter the nurse that gave the shot was cool and offered to do other tests. He did say i could get replacement if i need it. I took the test through quest diag. How long do the labs take, and will they send me a copy?

I think it took a week on my bloodwork. And I requested a copy from my Dr.

They took about 5 days with mine and my doc just emailed me the results. Either way, you are entitled to a copy.

Man it depends on the Dr I've seen guys on here say there level was a 400 and got trt. Another guys TT was a 269, just a few point higher than the out of normal range and he was denied. He had to take mult test to get one under to get on trt.
You need the right dr in the right mood, with the right story and the right level.
Anyways good luck.
