Denied TRT at clinic

[Mr.BB]

So I went back to the TRT clinic to get another round of blood work done. This time I spoke to the main doc and he said he’d have a really hard time prescribing me TRT at 471 total test. Waiting to see what today’s levels will be after today's draw.

I know I can just get some test online and fake a low level on the comedown, but honestly will I feel that much better at 800 vs 471? I'm talking energy level, mood, etc?

Yes to all of those.



I did a pretty comprehensive blood panel and nothing much came up. Only IGF was a little high at 330 (80-240). Don't have insurance and can't really get a ton of tests.

What about the pituitary MRI you were supposed to do??

Still have to get that done. Endo in my family doesn't seem too worried about it, either was the TRT doc I just spoke to. Might have to get some crappy insurance that covers MRIs for that one. I think if levels were over 400 it would get the Drs more worried.

Gonna get another full blood panel done in 2 weeks including IGF and see where it is at that point. I just wish I could expedite this process, this feeling is really wearing me down.

What's your LH/FSH and free T level?

I have to get the LH/FSH checked, I didn't do that with my first blood work and they didn't offer that to be checked at the TRT clinic. Will get that checked in 2 weeks.

Free test was about 11.2 on the 8.5-25 scale.

That's crazy. Wouldn't trust that clinic anymore.
