Has anyone switched to using to Using LowTestosterone.com?
I was wondering if anyone here has tried out or switched to using Low Testosterone .com?
$199 a month for test, HCG , and Anastrozol seems A LOT cheaper then what I'm paying without
insurance for all my meds
Hell, My doc charges me $150 a month just to write the script!
He's a good doc though..and writes scripts for everything i need without question..so i can't complain.
but hell.. 199 a month just seems too good to be true without insurance.

Not me. But many others have. My clinic is a pretty good deal so no reason too.

My test is like $20 a month, HCG can be gotten for as cheap as $20 a month as well. My labs is where it gets me. Hopefully when i get to a point where Im dialed in Im only doing labs and seeing my doc twice a year. Is that enough if no problems? Total that up its like $1500 a year plus an AI if need one. $199 a month is a pretty good deal.

If I had to go out of pocket, I would consider it because out of pocket is very expensive.
But also once you know what you need, you could probably transition to a cheaper service. And if you do know what you need and have a doctor working with you, there is no point that I currently see in switching. Other than cost, nothing is mentioned about the lowt.com quality of service or what they provide etc etc if it's anything "special" if you get what I'm trying to say. If you have no doctor at all and need treatment, that's a whole other ballgame - find a doctor who knows about TRT is the hardest part I think.
But also, I have insurance and they cover my testosterone ... so I pay less than $20 per month and bloods are covered. Insurance costs a hell of a lot more than lowtestosterone.com of course though

I looked into joining and came very close. I shied away once I learned the contract locked me into 12 months of auto-draft payments. I didn't like being committed if I didn't like the service, or the doctor they paired me to, or learned my insurance would deny the claims I would file. I understand their perspective, that they prescribe 3-months meds in advance and if they didn't auto draft payment, people would get meds and bail on them after one month. But still, I'm not comfortable being locked in for 12 months. They need a trial subscription option, in my opinion. If you are okay with committing to 12 months then every indication is they will provide as advertised. As mentioned above there are other less expensive avenues, especially if you have insurance. Keep asking on the forums. I've received a couple of doctor references in my area from the good men here in the forum.

You can get out if you have issues with your doctor or have health issues, however TRT is not a "On and Off Cycle" and we avoid clients who just wish to get a 3 month supply of medication along with our service. The out of pocket costs we front to our clients does not make it worth our time to take on clients who are really NOT interested in proper testosterone treatment.

I didn't switch but started with lowt.com after being diagnosed w/ Low T by my physician. She prescribed t gel, told me she would see me in a year, and couldn't answer many of the questions I had regarding my long term treatment. $200.00 a month for my health, to work with Drs who have rec TRT training and have a protocol that is similar to advice on this forum is well worth every penny.

You are right on the money HRT! We know just how important it is for men who have abused steroids to have proper treatment and that is a real asset to a website like this, but we have to make it real clear that LowTestosterone.com is definitely NOT a solution for men to get a quick prescription for testosterone . This company is the real deal and is designed to be made available for those who really need the help.
Its ironic really that "abusing anabolic steroids" can cause you to have these life long symptoms and steroid .com is obviously a place where users can educate themselves on all aspects of this topic... and at the same time we are able to help those who have made the choice of using anabolic steroids and who now need professional help finding treatment to help their health. Its a catch 22 situation and we hope that we are able to education and offer a solution for help if needed.

For the record, bc (and others)... I came this close ' ' to signing up. Being locked in is my personal bias. I am not implying anything against lowtestosterone.com. Just sharing information on the forum. I understand your position. Would likely do the same. And I have not ruled out signing up in the future. Just not a best fit for me right now. ~Cheers!

I understand some peoples concern about a 1yr commitment. No one likes feeling tied down. However, if you're like most you'll make a 1yr or more commitment to many things that are far less valuable or beneficial than testosterone treatment. Think about it, sign up for new cellphone service and you're locked into a 1-2yr contract. Buy a satellite dish and you're once again locked into a 1-2yr contract. I'm sure we could all come up with plenty of examples like these two but out of these and other common things how many of them actually provide a true benefit to your life and overall wellbeing?

We understand that our program doesnt fit everyone and that is expected, however for people who are truly looking for long term TRT, we have the best deal around and we are happy to provide that service

The majority of the clients we get from "steroid .com" are men who have used steroids . In no way was I putting everyone in that category. We get clients from many different places, but due to steroid.com having millions of unique visitors each month (and obviously we have some fairly large advertisements), we do get a lot of clients who have used steroids in the past.

I have switched to LowTestosterone.com from an anti-aging clinic I found online. I have only been using the online clinic for 10 weeks, but I was not at all impressed with their service, or their price. I had my blood work done, and was prescribed medication without ever seeing or speaking to a doctor. At the time, I didn't know this was abnormal because I have had no experience with testosterone or other steroids in the past.
The people at LowTestosterone.com have been very helpful and courteous, and I am looking forward to meeting with one of their network doctors and discussing my issues. I did not read the "Fine Print" when I signed up, but the 1 year requirement makes sense to me. Being with them for a full year will let me know for sure if this therapy helps with my symptoms, and if it does, I will have time to search for a doctor who may be able to take over my case, and have my insurance cover it. If my condition has not improved at the end of the year, I will call it a reasonable expense on my part, and stop the treatment.
At worst, LowTestosterone.com will save me $2300.00 compared to the treatment I would get with the online clinic, and I even get to see a doctor.
There may be better options out there, but for those of us who have neither the knowledge or time to find them, LowTestosterone.com is a good deal.

Bert,
Just so you know, If your conditions dont improve with the program and your health is not impacted in a positive way, you can speak to your network doctor and have him/her give us a call to explain your situation. If your testosterone levels have not significantly improved, you can be let out of the program at the end of your 90 day program cycle, once we receive written notice.
Bottom line, if the treatment doesn't work and your lab work backs that up, we do NOT force you to continue the program. However, we do require a few simple steps to be taken by our clients to avoid misuse of our program.

There also! A "Like" button as in Facebook so we could show we like/support a comment. A couple of comments above by you and BertGamble I would have "Liked"

We have one on facebook, but it is not working. Will get that fixed. Please elaborate on your idea... i "like" it lol

^ I think he means a "like" button/counter per post on the forum. Similar to the "reputation star", but an active counter per post.

Are you sure? I think he is saying when he sees a post he likes, he can share it with his friends on facebook? Just want to be clear so we look into the right solution.

It would "like" the individual user's comment. For example, above you posted this,

If you go over to Facebook you will see the functionality I am referring to. At the bottom of every persons post Facebook adds a "Like" button.

No sharing to Facebook. It is all contained within the forum here. As Austinite described, it is more of a counter associated with a person's comment. You post a comment here, 12 people come along later and read your comment and click the "Like" button next to the comment, then others can see 12 forum members liked your comment.

Hi! I'm thinking about calling lowtestosterone.com as well. I'm 40 and have a 192 testosterone . It's affecting ALL aspects of my life. I'm seeing an endo who will only prescribe Androgel and she scoffed when I mentioned that I'm nervous about my testicles shrinking up. She then told me that I'll just have to learn to live with that in order to feel better. I don't think I should have to "live with it" just because of her lack of knowledge when it comes to present day treatment of low testosterone . My low t is a result of a non-functioning pituitary adenoma which killed my natural pituitary function. I will have to use HRT for the rest of my life. I don't want to keep hopping from dr. to dr. in order to get the correct treatment. I'm already paying out the nose with my deductible for the few doctors that I've seen. I even contemplated a drive to MI to see Dr. Crisler. I would rather stay local and see someone in person rather than set up phone meetings.
My question to the lowtestosterone rep who posts here, is about frequency of visits. How many times a year do I need to come in? What sort of frequency are the shots and do you allow patients to self inject at home so they don't have to make the drive? These are the things I'm curious about before I sign up. The fee seems reasonable to get my health back on track and the contract seems to be really logical. Why would you quit TRT once you've started? LOL.
This is about the last thing I would need to know before making the commitment. Thanks in advance!

im not with low t but i have seen their answers so ill try to help.
lowt is up to date on everything trt. They prescribe hcg , adex, let you do injections at home, 1nce or twice per week. They let you do sub q or IM injections, and same with hcg.
If you use their travel program, you only need to see the doc once per year. IDDK how many times you need to see the local dr if not traveling though.
they also have a 24/7 hotline to answer questions, which is something that other drs dont have.
it's a good service if you can afford it.

I'm with lowt for a few months now. Do it man, you won't regret it. Everything PL said is right on. You only need to visit dr once a year. But mine said I could call him 24/7. They are up to date on everything. If you do go subQ it will be easier on your body. You also have a 15 copay for meds. I'm happy with their service so far.
