    In retrospect I could have been smarter,
    But that doesn't just apply to AAS use.
    Shit, if I'm gonna regret all the choices I've done that have affected my life in a big way (and many would say in a negative way), I'd have nothing but regrets.

    I regret nothing!
    And you can carve that on my tombstone.

    My only issue is it's fucking hard to get prescribed TRT properly over here.
    Not to mention is MUCH cheaper just doing it illegally.

    However, one issue though;
    I'm not that interested in having kids,
    but it's nice to have the option.
    While it wouldn't be impossible (I think),
    it won't be easy either.
    Still, I'm ok with that too. At least for now.

    Not difficult in the US, if your labs indicate you need TRT. The hard part for me was finding a Dr. that knows how to properly address hormone replacement. In my case, it took a couple of years to prove to my Dr that the more modern protocols were much more effective than the old school protocols that made you feel decent for about 5-7 days and then left you in horrible shape the next 25 days or so.
    Educate yourself on modern effective protocols, because you may end up teaching your Dr. a thing or two about injection frequency, E2 management, HCG usage, etc.
    A good Dr. will listen to your concerns if you can show you have a valid point.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Over here is Scandinavia, where all the GP (state docs) knows that if you've used AAS, and if either free T or total T is within reference range, no matter if it's on the lowest end, then you're fine.
    If it is lower, then the general advice is to "wait a year or two to get it sorted",
    and instead of hcg or SERMS during that period, you'll get some Prozac or other anti depressants, as there's no such thing as a physical need for T, it's purely psychological.

    You can go to a private doctor, (no insurance covers that, so expect about 100-150USD pr visit, and it's gonna take a few before TRT is actually on the table)
    so.. yeah.
    Things are beginning to get better but it's still the dark ages.

    If you're lucky you'll get TRT very easy, or at least when you need it,
    but for someone looking like me I need to be VERY lucky!

    I think this is gonna change more and more quite soon I hope,
    I'm seeing a trend. But compared to "youth clinics" in the US it's hopeless.

    Actually, going to a doc in another country to start TRT and then continue it when you get back home is probably one of the easier ways to do it.

    I see a lot of issues too, they wont prescribe you an AI and not HCG either, unless you choose one out of the three (testosterone, arimidex or HCG treatment). Also people are reporting that they rarely care if your peak to trough values are horrible on nebido, since theyre just following guidelines.

    How do you go on about getting TRT abroad? Does this really work from any country at all? If thats the case then a trip to the US would be golden, but will that prescription be valid in the docs eyes here, esp if its from a youth clinic?

    As long as your within EU or EØS (not a part of the EU, but Kinda is anyway)
    then you can get prescribed 1mo of narcotic medications, and 3mo of non narcotic meds (need to check this up, as both may be changes to 1mo)

    Anyways, you return to your normal doc with some bloodwork from the foreign doc and show him a copy of the script as well as bring with you boxes of testosterone patches or Nebido vials with your name on them,
    and then your dear old GP is in a completely different situation than before;
    He no longer has to INITIATE treatment, merely continue it.

    Since no doc wants to initiate; (blame the one who threw the first stone you know), but are far more ready to continue treatment, then that's a way insuspect will work.

    Did work when it came opiates for a friend of mine at least.
    "See here; I got tons of morphine prescribed allready, who are you to second guess a specialist?"

    I think the same principle applies to everything.
    Could be wrong Ofcourse.
