Hello from Boston area!

[bit_slinger]

Hey there! I had my T checked, it came in around 520, which is "normal". But if 350 is low, then I think I'm low. Also, my doc did not provide me the free T.

My goal primarily is to use T to help improve myself. I'm not obese, but kinda skinny fat and would love help with this. Every day I get out of bed... it's just a drag. I have 3 kids, I love them, but after they're in bed I have no energy... libido has flat-lined.

I do have three questions.

One, what are some things that you look for in a reliable TRT clinic or doctor's office? What should I look out for or avoid? I've looked at Men's Health Boston, but after hearing Abraham Morgentaler talk about it, he doesn't seem to have the best opinion of it. I'd love to have a "Men's Health" place that does and knows how to do TRT... it seems. How do I find that?

Two, should you take TRT and your nuts shrink or go soft, I've heard that you can take meds to help with that. Has anyone done this? Did the meds help?

Three, are your T supplements or meds (cream, injections, etc.) covered by insurance? If so, which ones? I have insurance and would love to have them pay for it.

If I posted these questions in the wrong part, sorry about that, I'll move them.

Why Use hCG With TRT?- A Clinical Review​

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) (not to be confused with human growth hormone, or HGH) is a glycoprotein hormone that mimics LH (luteinizing hormone), produced in pregnancy by the developing embryo soon after conception, and later by part of the placenta. Its role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovary and to maintain the...

It depends on the insurance company. All cover generic T cypionate or enanthate, Androgel, and others. You would have to check the formulary of then one you have.

If you want insurance to cover TRT, don't use telemedicine. Try to find a doctor (Urologists are become leaders in TRT).
