As the headline reads I’m new to this forum and a few months into TRT.
I’m a U.S. citizen living in Vancouver Canada. Currently on 100mg of test cyp a week and 500iu of HCG 2x’s a week.
I’m moving back to the U.S. after being in Canada for the last 25 years and have been scoping out what medical coverage is going to look like. Very surprised at the prices of medicines. Currently paying $35 US for 10ml of Test and $62 US for 10ml of HCG and because TRT isn’t covered by British Columbia health care my clinic is $200 every 10 weeks.
Looking at prices online has me worried. Especially HCG. I’m blown away at the price differences.
Any tips on streamlining the costs of being on TRT?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
