[QUOTE="Wilson7, post: 280027, member: 39729"] My non-medical two cents. GoodRx 10 cc 200 mg/ml is about $40. This business of HRT clinics is the equiv of pill mills for opioids IMO and they can rape you on cost and unnecessary labs that they get kick backs on bc they can, knowing most docs either won't or under treat with T. I've seen nothing in the lit that suggests that 800 - 1200 is going to put anyone in the grave faster than 400 - 800. Watch BP, HCT and PSA, other that that general chems once or twice year. It takes +300 mg/wk to affect lipids (Bhasin et al) and HDL is overrated esp if > 35 regardless. I am lucky I have had the same urologist for 30 yrs, at some point he'll retire and I'll sort it out. If you do your own injections, through Walk in labs (unless you live in a nanny state) do serial measures every 4 days for 2 weeks post inj and figure out how long after an inj you need to go to fall within a given lab value range (start from steady state not your first inj). Ask your doc what his/her sweet spot is and make it work. As long as the rest of your labs are good, keep it where you feel your best (as long as its not averaging >1000). [/QUOTE]
