Exactly. My wife just chuckles at this point. Makes the root look a lil bigger though

I’m complete 1000% DONE with having kids so fertility is not a concern at all.

Same, but dallastiger is 44 and may not be done yet - didn't have mine until I was 50.

good point, but HCG is dramatically more expensive than testC ... haven't checked it through UGLs through

Get on boron ~12-15mg in the morning, need to get shgb down and free test up, everything else is fine



777, did some research on Boron and its very promising but a lot of people say it only help for a week or two and then stops and the recommend cycling. Any feedback on that? Also, I noticed most people took 3-10mg. 12-15 seems high

im just scared to start because I know i will be on it the rest of my life. Hows the evidence on long term usage?
I literally asked my practitioner this on Friday. His answer was: "I can guarantee you that once you start this, you won't ever want to stop".

Instead of like 5 times a week small, my guy is suggesting I do 1ml on Mondays and then HCG on Thursday - to provide a "natural gradient wit no big peaks and valleys".

What say anyone about any of this?

What about L-Carnitine?

Im guessing 1mL = 200mg. It would work but you’ll have some decent sized peaks/valleys. I prefer twice a week. Not only will it help with Test spikes, it’ll help control e2 and your H&H better.

So I plotted it out for you. Here’s the difference between once a week vs. every 3.5 days.

Not sure what your MD’s charge In office, mine is covered my BCBS. But you can use online services like TRT nation for around $100-200 month I believe.

If you can get your normal doctor to prescribe it then for the visits it's just the visit and about $50-$75 a year for the labs. A vial of test (lasts me three months) is around $100 via Amazon pharmacy w/o insurance. Luckily my BCBS covers it so it's $10 since Amazon states the vial is a 28 day supply. It was $30 at CVS. It's about $30 for a years worth of needles/syringes.

FYI, GoodRx Is usually cheaper than this fricking trash that we call insurance these days. Around $50 for a 3 month supply.

And about half of that if you can find a good UGL source.

Same here, good to know. I'm considering jumping on to my wife's health insurance and I haven't looked in to if my test would be covered or not under it. Good to know there are options.

I use good RX for all my stuff. My deductible is 4k

I got a 90 day supply of Adderall XR 15mg last week for $26 at Walgreens Good RX. It was $212 with insurance. Such a scam

Also at my yearly physical my doc always freezes a few spots off. Sometimes some have to be cut out. It’s always around $600 for that with labs. He said I can pay cash no insurance for $75. I told him “why are you just telling me this?”
