    Seen the Doc today for my TRT plan

    Seen the Dr. Today to plan out my TRT, as I knew he would he pushed the test cream. I told he my wife is pregnant and I'm against the cream because of the transference. He told me that I shouldn't worry about that, he said it wouldn't harm the fetus. He said he isn't a fan of injections. I told him straight out that I wouldn't take the cream. He then instructed me to contact the cream manufacturer and if they tell me it could harm the fetus that he would give me injections. Sure enough they tell me it will defiantly do harm. Now the Dr. Has me coming back in Friday for an injection. Problem is I have to pay a copayment every time I go for an injection $40. He said he wont give me a script. That's $160 a month. Who the hell can afford that. I just can't win!!!

    Urologist, & yup I have good insurance but copayment for a specialist is $40, I think he's just trying to milk the insurance company because I told him my sister is an RN and would give me the injections, he didn't want to here it. I think I'm going to go to him for the first month or two then go see an endo

    Find another doctor. He's obviously one who's sucks all his patients back in for the "office visit" to rake in a few more bucks. Dump him. Call around and pre-interview several doctors. I found that the nurses or office staff will tell you their doctors protocol's. Ask if they will follow Crisler....I just did it the other day and my appt is tomorrow...

    New doc. Tell him you want a copy of the labs and you are going to a 21st century HRT doc

    x2. What a horror story. I'm just always amazed this nonsense occurs. I'd get a few injections under your belt while finding a new doc though...
