Self Medicating TRT In The UK - Gymffiti's Journey

[marcus300]

I'm kinda torn between doing that and going it alone ...

It's been such an upheaval to get this far. I'm dreading the thought of months of appointments with Urologists, Endocrinologists and awkward conversations about HCG's

How difficult is it to get HCG / SERM support, along with T prescriptions?

Thanks for your input btw

There aren't months and months of appointments, once they have done one or two sets of blood work the Endo will prescribe you T replacement, you have to go down this route otherwise every time you get bloods done in the future they will be all over the place and once you admit your taking T it wont land on sensitive ear trust me. Just explain the exaggerate the low T symptoms to the endo and he will put you on T replacement straight away and then you will have some appointments to attend so he can get you dialled in properly.

Don't even mention hcg or an AI, leave that to them but trust me hcg they wont prescribe but you can always do that yourself. Also how do you know you will need an AI? in the uk we use the little amounts of T to get you in range without causing other issues in your blood, which personally is the right way to go, with your low T you will feel like a new man very soon after you start so go down the proper channels for trt and DONT DO IT YOURSELF.

Your already going to be flagged up for lowT anyway and you don't need an AI looking at things so play with them not against them because in the long run going on trt by your doctor is the best way forward.

I actually have an appointment with my GP, later today. In an ideal world, that's ^ how things will pan out

My GP is always happy to give me anti-depressants, but I couldn't get the blood tests from him. I managed to get them done at a private clinic

I'll go to my appointment, armed with my blood test results and hopefully he'll be willing to get me in touch with an Endo
