So now I'm doing 100mg weekly, but he left my original script at 175 so I could play around my dose as needed.


    I'm not sure, but he may accept virtual patients.

    And 17 bucks a vial is crazy! I've yet to even use insurance to cover mine, but 10 1ml vials the last few times have been like 40 bucks.

    Oh, I can - but, I don’t wanna pay anything than for my test. My insurance won’t cover a trt clinic

    And you’re getting one ml for around 4 bucks each?

    I get 10 1ml vials for about 40 bucks I think it's been the last few times. Depends on if Harris teeter has coupons or maybe they use good rx.

    If it starts going up, I'll start having them file it on my insurance. The gel I was on was 10 bucks for a 30 day supply, but my pcp had me doing half doses so those cans lasted me 2 months.

    $4 is a really good price. GoodRx is about $9/1ml vial (in my area), but it's cheaper for me to use my insurance most of the time.

    Talk to her and see if she'll nudge you up. Mine recently bumped me up to 200mg/week. Now when it's time for her to pull labs, I make sure my total T is in the 650-800 ng/dL range.


    Edit: Explain to her that when you start getting close to your trough day, you feel like you're running out of energy.

    Tried - she said no. She’s this older Chinese lady, I was surprised she put me on it.

    I did look that up on goodRx - if I do 10 at a time, it’s 50 bucks. . . I’ll whine to her next time I go in.

    Shit, UGL is just so much cheaper & there really is no difference

    Find another Dr. After my pcp was a stickler about my dosage, I went to a eurologist for a check up. He increased my gel dose to double because my test level was in the low end of range. He's also the one that initially suggested switching to injections or even the cream.

    Then I found my trt clinic and that's when I went on injections. Not all Dr's or PAs are the same.
