How long does the paperwork side of TRT take?

[Brett N]

They took my bloodwork on a Monday. (Bloodwork is all in house.) My appt to go over my bloodwork was the following Monday and they called to say it wasn't done. They then called me that Wednesday morning and said they had my results. I went in Wednesday afternoon and went over my results, went over my protocol, and got my first shot that afternoon.

I believe 200mg is the starting protocol for all these clinics nowadays no matter what which seems a bit high but whatever. That's what they started me on also and what they started me on 7 years ago also when I went to a clinic.

So, for me, the answer was 10 days. Every clinic will be different. It will still take a while to start feeling the results even after your first shot and hopefully you can feel right without too much messing around with the doseage they prescribe.

Hopefully if you do need TRT they prescribe HCG also.

Perfect thank you, yea it includes that and Arimidex plus regular blood work. It's been years but I always reacted very well to test even at 500mg so I'm sure 200mg will do me wonders.

The nice thing about it is you may feel fine @ 150mg/week or less. If they permanently script you 200mg/week (some places do), you can bank the rest up for a blast. It doesn't sound like much, but over a period of time, it adds up.

Just make sure you know exactly when your labwork will be scheduled so you can allow plenty of time for your body to drop back down to therapeutic ranges and your typical blood work to be at a good place.

Yup that’s exactly what I was thinking as well.

I found an online clinic and submitted my own labs .
Took them about a month to even call me and then set up a consultation. That was another week after the call.
After that another week and a half for my medsbto arrive
